“Meritor takes great pride in our commitment to the U.S. armed forces and the heroes who make sacrifices to protect our freedom,” said Tim Burns, vice president, Defense & Specialty, North America. “We hope that active-duty warfighters and veterans passing through Detroit make good use of the Freedom Center’s amenities.”
Since 2011, Meritor has committed $75,000 to support the Freedom Center. The Freedom Center lounges are operated by the Michigan Armed Forces Hospitality Center, Inc., a nonprofit organization. Designed around a mission of “serving those who serve us,” the organization’s first Freedom Center opened in Detroit Metropolitan Airport’s McNamara Terminal in 2011.
Meritor is a supplier of drivetrain, mobility, braking and aftermarket solutions for commercial vehicle and industrial markets.
