The family of a late U.S. Army staff sergeant was surprised with the news that their mortgage was paid in full by the Tunnel to Towers Foundation in honor of Veterans Day.
According to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, from a young age, Army Staff Sgt. Christopher Webb decided he would join the military -- following in the steps of his mother, stepfather, grandfather and uncles.
Webb left behind his wife, Shalan, and their daughter, who was born months before he was deployed to Iraq. “Tunnel to Towers’ support has given me the security of knowing I will always have my home,” said Shalan Webb. “This will allow me to be more flexible with my work so that I can spend more time with my daughter.”Shalan said this gift is more than a financial relief. It makes her husband’s service even more meaningful.
