Dave Rice of Davisburg, Michigan, who is a manager of Product Validation Program Management for Meritor, demonstrated military-style pushups with Army Sgt.1st Class Paul Miller, Sgt. 1st Class Juan Martinez and Staff Sgt. Christopher Haddon of the 2nd Battalion, 337th Regiment Combat Support/Combat Service Support in Waterford, Michigan. “This issue is particularly important to me because I knew soldiers who have taken their lives.
