Veteran who lost leg in Afghanistan is surprised with mortgage-free home: 'A great honor'
Fox News
A veteran will receive a mortgage-free home in Connecticut from Building Homes for Heroes in partnership with the FDNY 343 Ride after losing his leg during combat in Afghanistan.
In 2009, during a firefight on the top of a mountain, Marcy was hit — and his left leg was later amputated above the knee. "It feels like a great honor to be awarded the home through Building Homes for Heroes and FDNY." Brittany Kasko is a lifestyle production assistant with Fox News Digital.
He is a Purple Heart recipient and currently lives in New Orleans, Louisiana.
