Building Homes for Heroes marked a milestone with the gifting of its 400th home to U.S. Army Specialist Joshua Sager and his family in Argyle, Texas. This represents nearly two decades of providing veterans and first responders with the foundation they need to build their next chapter.
Building Homes for Heroes emerged from the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and has since grown into one of the nation's fastest-growing veteran-focused organizations, evolving from gifting a single home to now averaging more than one home constructed, gifted or modified every 10 days.
This latest home goes to Army Specialist Joshua Sager, who served with the Scout Surveillance and Reconnaissance platoon. Joshua suffered catastrophic injuries from a parachute training accident that doctors said might prevent him from ever walking again.
The stability of a mortgage-free home creates a vital foundation for veterans and first responders transitioning to civilian life. This secure environment enables physical recovery, strengthens mental health, and provides the bedrock for family stability.
