First, let me reiterate what a pleasure it was to work with Centerre on the Warrior in Transition-Dining Facility project. I still receive emails folks that worked on this project as we have become more than a Government-Contractor relationship, but friendships. Centerre performed their job under difficult conditions as well. Being one of three General contractors on a tight job site was a challenge, as well as being 1700+ miles from your home office, but you all pulled it off in fine fashion. Thanks again for the hard work!
