Four Veterans and Their Families to Receive Mortgage-Free Homes This Veterans Day
Minneapolis -- This Veterans Day, Freedom Alliance and U.S. Bank are partnering to take action on behalf of veterans, presenting the keys to newly renovated, mortgage-free homes in four locations: Owensboro, Ky.; Arnold, Mo.; and two cities in Ohio, Sheffield Village and Cleveland.
Since 2013, U.S. Bank has donated 22 homes (including these four homes), valued at $4.8 million, to deserving military families in communities across the country. The four recipients served a combined total of nearly 50 years in the U.S. armed forces in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), and Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm, receiving multiple recognitions for their patriotism, including the Purple Heart, Combat Infantryman Badge, and Jump Master Badge Certificate Army Commendation Medal. The recipients are Army Spc. Todd O’Neal, Army Sgt. Mark Bricker, Retired Army Master Sgt. Ed Hawk and Retired Army Sgt. 1st Class Bryan Schrader.
