# CFI Holds Memorial Day Tribute
Published by [Leah Parrott](https://learn.cfidrive.com/author/leah-parrott) on May 24, 2024 8:14:58 AM
On Thursday, May 23, CFI held a Memorial Day Tribute at our Joplin headquarters. The event featured speeches from Senior Leadership Veterans, a moment of silence for fallen heroes, and the reseating of a True to The Troops wrapped truck to Army Veteran and professional driver, David Higginbotham.
David is a distinguished United States Army veteran with 14 years of service, during which he served in Germany, Korea, Desert Shield, and Desert Storm. Following his military career, David has dedicated 23 years as a professional driver with CFI, exemplifying commitment and excellence both on and off the road.
Our True To The Troops wrapped trucks symbolize CFI’s commitment to remembering, honoring, and supporting Veterans. Each wrapped truck is uniquely designed to pay tribute to the brave men and women who fought and continue to fight for our freedoms.
