Navy veteran gets home worked on by Habitat for Humanity

U.S. Navy Veteran Brian Wallace got a welcome surprise a few days ahead Veterans Day.

Crews from Habitat for Humanity are expected to paint his double-wide mobile home on Nov. 8 in Phoenix. The group previously repaired his roof after the man reached out to Veterans Affairs Hospital in Phoenix about six months ago.

Wallace, 71, a Phoenix resident, is on a fixed income, is legally blind and had a stroke about five years ago. He was a cook in the U.S. Navy and served for 20 years — from 1973 to 1993.
