Volunteers gathered to help finish a brand new home for Marine Corporal Tony Mullis on April 13,2013 in Hawkinsville, GA. These projects depend on labor donated by contractors and skilled workers and from donated materials. Armstrong, as the exclusive flooring supplier to HFOT, provided floors for the Mullis home. Armstrong Distributor partner in the Southeast, William M. Bird, donated 50% of the cost of the flooring for this home. Local retailers Central Carpet in Macon, GA and Katz Floorcovering in Leesburg, GA also volunteered their services. All homes are built by HFOT at no cost to the veteran through the support of individuals, foundations and corporate contributors.
Cpl. Tony Mullis was on his 2nd deployment in Southern Afghanistan when on April 6, 2011, the day after the birth of this first child, a bomb exploded causing him to lose both of his legs and suffer severe injuries to his right arm.
