This soldier now has a home
Please grant me a moment, DUers, to relay some good news for our family.

As many of you know, my husband returned from Iraq in June 2006 after 18 months of deployment. He has been named partially disabled because of a loss of hearing and recurring headaches. He is being treated by the VA.

We just got back from signing the papers to close on our new home! The three of us have lived in my ten-year-old single-wide mobile home for the past five years. We now have our very own two-story house!

This would not have been possible without a VA loan. Due to his status as a veteran, he was able to secure the loan.

We feel incredibly lucky to have our family whole and happy.

We move in tomorrow! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

12. Good luck and best wishes for the new home
My parents are still living in the house my 86 y/o dad was born in. That frame of reference has helped me understand that your home is not just a piece of property. It's your connection to the rest of the world and the center of your universe. I hope that your family will be able to enjoy it for generations to come.
