Homes For Our Troops Announces 'Build Brigade' for its Third Pennsylvania Home

Homes For Our Troops, VP/Chief Project Officer, Kirt Rebello, will be available for interviews at 112 Oesterle Lane,(Ross Township), Pittsburgh, PA at 11:00 AM on November 15, 2007.

Ross Township, PA (PRWEB) November 15, 2007 -- Homes For Our Troops, a non-profit organization that provides specially adapted homes for severely wounded veterans, announced today that it will launch a "Build Brigade" event for a specially adapted home building project for SPC James Fair.

SPC Fair sustained life-altering injury due to a roadside bomb. The explosion in November 2003 left the Coraopolis soldier completely blind and took both of his hands. The blast also sent shrapnel throughout James' body, severely injuring his right leg and causing a traumatic brain injury.

James's home is the third project that Homes For Our Troops has undertaken in Pennsylvania. Homes For Our Troops has completed 17 projects through out the US and has 20 additional projects in various stages of construction.

Build Brigade:
On November 15, 16, 17 we will be hosting a marathon build event (that we call a "Build Brigade") at the site of James's project located at 112 Oesterle Lane, Ross Township), Pittsburgh, PA. Beginning at 8:00 AM, our goal for the 3 day event will be to erect James's home by completing the framing, roofing, windows, doors and siding with the help of many volunteers. Basically we will be going from floor to a standing structure in 3 days! Please come join us for this event!
