In an effort to show appreciation for the sacrifices of active duty service members, veterans and their families, Tully Rinckey PLLC and Hannaford Supermarkets once again provided free turkeys to active duty and retired military personnel for Thanksgiving through the fifth annual "Turkeys for Veterans" program. Officials from Tully Rinckey PLLC and Hannaford supermarkets hand delivered the turkeys to 200 active duty service members and veterans at the law firm's headquarters at 441 New Karner Rd. This Thanksgiving marked the fifth year for the "Turkeys for Veterans" program. Since the program's inception in 2009, Tully Rinckey PLLC has provided the Thanksgiving table centerpiece for the family members of hundreds active duty and retired military personnel in the greater Capital Region. "In the military, service members fight for the man or woman beside them. And I'm proud to continue that tradition here in the Capital Region as Tully Rinckey watches out for the veterans around us as Thanksgiving nears," said Tully Rinckey PLLC managing partner Greg Rinckey, a U.S. Army veteran. "All of us at Hannaford were honored to once again work with Tully Rinckey to offer a sense of comfort, home and warmth to those who so selflessly dedicate their lives to serving our country," said Hannaford supermarkets community relations specialist Molly Tarleton. "We feel privileged to serve those who serve this Thanksgiving." Tully Rinckey PLLC has a long-standing record of service with the military.
