Please check out this video. I was recently blessed with a new mortgage free home just north of Nashville, TN. Friends of mine secretly put my name in the hat with an organization called Operation Finally Home. These people are amazing and I would like to let everyone know I recommend them if you feel that you would like to apply for this blessing too.

It was over a year of planning and building but it was completely worth it. Even though I had only a few minutes to talk to the cameras I made sure to make the most of it. I dedicated the home to my boss Major Mark Rosenberg and to the other guys in the truck with me the day I lost my legs. I also talked much more about Veteran Suicide and how the numbers are Unexceptable! I urged everyone to call a veteran that day to let them know they care. I hope in my 15 minutes of fame, we saved at least one life that day.

So....why am I bringing this all up? I'm asking you all to check out Operation Finally Home and see if you can apply and receive a huge blessing like my family did, and to again urge us all to call a veteran you know and let them know you care and they are not forgotten!
