SALEM -- As Hunt Valve employees go about their business, they now have a daily reminder of just how personal the war in Iraq is.
The company, whose business includes manufacturing valves for the Navy, recently put up 2-foot-by-3-foot posters of 10 servicemen who have relatives working at the manufacturing plant.
The posters were erected as part of the company's desire to do something to honor, support and remember the troops, explained Theresa Hannen, marketing services manager for Hunt Valve, which employs 140 people.
Of the 10 servicemen on the posters displayed in the 100,000-square-foot plant, six are on duty in Iraq.
