The company houses a permanent installation at its Ehrlich Innovation Center called the Wall of Honor. The Wall of Honor recognizes all Wabash National associates who have served, or are currently serving in the military.

“We are honored to have nearly 300 military and veteran associates across the country, and we proudly pay tribute to them year-round on our Wall of Honor,” said Giromini.
