A veteran has moved into a custom home that was built for his specific needs in Cedar Hill.
Marine Corporal Raymond Hennagir received the new home from Homes for Our Troops, which is a national non-profit that builds and donates specially adapted custom homes for severely injured post-9/11 veterans.
Features also include a shoulder height oven, easy to use shelves, and a bathroom with plenty of space for Hennagir to roll in. "We had found two IUDs, and while waiting for EOD to dispose of the IUDs, I ended up finding a third one just not the best way," he recalled."It was about 50 surgeries that I accomplished in about two months’ time," he said. "We did all that just so I could make it back to Camp LeJune to see my platoon come back from Iraq."
"Just the opportunity itself to go and play basketball in another country, experience the culture, all that it’s amazing," he said.
