Happy Memorial Day from the A-1 American Family!
As Memorial Day approaches we would just like to remind everyone that it's not all BBQ's, family get togethers, swimming pools opening, and cute kids running around with hot dogs.
Hi Hampton, Williamsburg, and Newport News!
It's a day to remember and honor those who have served in our Military both living and deceased. It started out as Decoration Day in 1868 as a Day when family and friends would visit the graves of their loved ones and decorate them with flowers. Afer World War I, it came to be known as Memorial Day.
Here in the Hampton Roads area we all feel it a little more. We have the largest Naval base in the world, and many people who transfer here, settle here as well. A-1 American was started that way!
A-1 was started by Skip Savell who joined the Navy in 1967. Like many of our Military families, he worked hard, and in 1985 after 18 years of service, Skip retired and started A-1 American Services. He started with typical plumbing repair jobs - water heaters, drains, toilets unclogged, garbage disposals, busted pipes, etc. then added HVAC services a number of years later.
A-1 American Services is now the ONLY family run business in the Hampton Roads area now that is both Veteran and Women Led, and we have proudly served our Military families all these years! If it wasnt for the support of our Miliary community, we don't know where we would be. We are deepply grateful for your trust!
From us to you, Happy Memorial Day to everyone who has served our Country, including the families, who are asked to sacrifice so much!!!
The A-1 American Team
