Ryan Fireprotection gives back to American Huey 369 Museum

By Staff report

Ryan Fireprotection recently completed the fire alarm installation at the American Huey 369 Museum in Peru.

Ryan Fireprotection donated nearly half the contract value back through the generous contributions of time and resources from the entire project team.

The American Huey 369 Museum is a nonprofit dedicated to the American Huey helicopter and the brave men and women who lost their lives defending our country. Founder John Walker has spent more than 20 years building it from the ground up. The museum is now in its third and final construction phase. Ryan Fireprotection has been proud to support it every step of the way, first with a donation during the sprinkler installation, and again during the fire alarm project.

Leading the charge was Project Manager William Diggs, who grew up near the museum and felt a personal connection to the cause from day one.

“When I found out we had the opportunity to work on this project, I knew I had to be involved," said William Diggs, Project Manager at Ryan Fireprotection. “Mr. Walker has given so much of himself to honor people who gave everything.”

"There's no better feeling than doing great work for a great cause," said Dan Ryan, CEO of Ryan Fireprotection. "This team gave their time, their talent, and their heart for people who deserve to be honored. That's the Ryan Fireprotection family in action."
