His fellow Marines installed a new large flagpole in the front yard, and the "reveal" day was on the Corp's birthday. Darn if I didn't get something in my eye towards the end of the show!

OT - Extreme Home Makeover - Marine gets a new home!
Just finished watching "Extreme Home Makeover" this evening, and it was a two-hour special building a home for a Marine who lost his lower left leg serving in Iraq. Single father of four young kids. Good show, and they did a great job for this great warrior.

That is a great program. We have a friend that nominated one of her friends and they were featured on that show last year. She has some small kids and some kind of cancer she was fighting at the time. Our friend chronicled the entire process. It was very impressive what they can do in such a short time.

They are pretty circumspect about how he came to be a single-parent...
One good thing about this show is that it has inspired other groups to do such things. My late friend Mike's family got such a house. They were living in a single-wide and Jason, the son, is a tetraplegic. There was a real need there.
