Thunderbird Helps VA Fulfill

President Lincoln's Promise in Charleston, SC

In December 2024 Thunderbird Environmental completed a 5-year "on-call" Industrial Hygiene Services contract at the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center in Charleston, South Carolina. Throughout this challenging but rewarding VA contract, we have appreciated the opportunity to assist the VA and its Charleston campus staff with the ongoing mission to fulfill President Abraham Lincoln's promise to care for those who have served in the nation's military. This is another important milestone for Thunderbird and we want to thank every team member who participated on

this important contract over the past 5 years.

Annual Summer Party and

10th Anniversary Celebration

In September 2024, Thunderbird staff members and friends gathered for a fun evening together to celebrate summer on the Connecticut shoreline and Thunderbird's 10th Anniversary. The party was filled with laughter and raucous conversations, good food, bluegrass music, and beverages. Much to our surprise, we were all treated to a special fire breathing performance by Thunderbird's very own Adam Marenholz. Special thanks to Dawn Hittle, Emily Koenig, and Emma Lovene for organizing and creating this wonderful summer event, giving everyone an evening to remember.
