GAINESVILLE, GEORGIA, UNITED STATES, June 29, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — The TODAY Show on NBC, one of the most recognizable morning shows on television, aired a news segment in honor of Memorial Day dedicated to former U.S. Army Sergeant Alfonso Porter. Not only did they recognize all our nation’s heroes in general, but they also created a special feature dedicated to former U.S. Army Sgt. Alfonso Porter and surprised him with a mortgage-free home.

In 2010, only a year after having enlisted, Porter was wounded when shrapnel struck him under his vest. Because of the injuries sustained, Porter received a Purple Heart. Throughout his military career, he was also awarded the Combat Action Badge, Army Commendation with Silver Oak Leaf, Army Achievement Medal with 4 Oak Leaf Custers, Afghanistan Campaign Medal with 2 Campaign Stars and more.

Alfonso received the surprise of a lifetime when Military Warriors Support Foundation Founder and CEO, Lt. Gen. Leroy Sisco, presented him the key to his brand-n new home, donated by Wells Fargo and Military Warriors Support Foundation.

“I hope to have a good meeting place for our family,” stated Porter. He continued, “I’d love for people to say, ‘Hey, let’s go down to Texas because that’s where family is.’ That’s home base.” Now Porter and his family have that home base. They have a place to call home.

The Homes4WoundedHeroes program offers mortgage-free homes to Wounded Heroes and Gold Star Families. Nearly 900 homes have been gifted to Heroes like Porter. Through collaborations with organizations , like Wells Fargo, MWSF provides homes and financial mentoring to veterans.
