Arrow Exterminators Recognizes Veterans and Active Duty Team Members

ATLANTA, Ga. – Atlanta-based Arrow Exterminators recently rolled out a new program to honor and recognize team members who have served the country or who are currently serving. These team members were presented a lapel pin to be worn as part of their uniform to thank them for their service. The veteran pin consists of two American flags, the Arrow Exterminators logo and “United States Veteran” engraved on the front.

“We presented our team members with these veteran pins the week before the Fourth of July holiday since this is a day to give thanks, to pay tribute and to remember those who gave their lives to protect our country and gain our independence,” said Emily Thomas Kendrick, chief executive officer and president of Arrow Exterminators. “In reality, we should be thankful every single day of the year. We thank these folks for their service from the bottom of our hearts.” 

This idea of recognition stemmed from when Kendrick attended an industry event where an Orkin team member was wearing a similar pin to the ones given to Arrow team members. Kendrick liked the idea and the recognition of this memento and quickly decided to reach out to John Wilson, president of Orkin, to ask permission for Arrow to replicate the pins for their own team members.
