GOLD AWARD

OPERATION COMING HOME
Raleigh, NC

By: US Veterans Corps / HBA of Raleigh Wake County

STATEMENT

Operation Coming Home provides new custom Hero Homes for troops that were injured in combat operations. In our entry video

you will see Hero Homes 6 -9 built for injured Soldiers and Marines. Each Hero Home was built by different builders, volunteers,

and vendors. Each of our wonderful vendors donated 100% of labor and materials. Every Hero Home has a ground breaking,
specialty rooms, community service projects, and a Hero Home Finale. Each time we start a new Hero Home we have to convince

new vendors to donate, media outlets to cover another home, work with the military medical board & Veterans Affairs, town
councils to waive permit fees, and rally new volunteers. We are very lucky to be surrounded by many military installations, a large

Veteran population, and gracious patriotic business owners. We have truly learned What A Few Can Do!
