Yeah . Building homes for the

00:11.140 --> 00:13.084
less fortunate is more than manual

00:13.084 --> 00:15.084
labor for injured warriors at joint

00:15.084 --> 00:17.084
base Lewis mcchord . It's a type of

00:17.084 --> 00:19.307
therapy . It's kind of two fold one for

00:19.307 --> 00:21.418
themselves . It's part of our healing

00:21.418 --> 00:23.418
process , part of the comprehensive

00:23.418 --> 00:25.960
transition plan for them to , to heal

00:25.960 --> 00:28.900
and transition . It's humbling to be

00:28.900 --> 00:31.067
able to come out here and help a needy

00:31.067 --> 00:34.680
family , uh , to be part of that

00:34.680 --> 00:37.130
solution for that family . The Warriors

00:37.130 --> 00:39.130
transition battalion partnered with

00:39.130 --> 00:41.186
habitat for humanity , helps wounded

00:41.186 --> 00:43.074
soldiers use manual labor towards

00:43.074 --> 00:45.241
physical recovery . But the recovering

00:45.241 --> 00:47.297
soldiers say the act of volunteering

00:47.297 --> 00:49.463
for a worthy cause also heals the mind

00:49.463 --> 00:51.630
and soul and touches needy families in

00:51.630 --> 00:53.352
the process . I mean , it's an

00:53.352 --> 00:55.074
incredible neighborhood . It's

00:55.074 --> 00:57.241
beautiful . They spent three days with

00:57.241 --> 00:59.297
us and got done so much more than we

00:59.297 --> 01:01.463
ever could have imagined . And this is

01:01.463 --> 01:03.297
the end result . A beautiful new

01:03.297 --> 01:05.519
neighborhood . Volunteering reminds the

01:05.519 --> 01:07.686
troops that being injured , wounded or

01:07.686 --> 01:09.574
sick doesn't stop them from being

01:09.574 --> 01:11.519
heroes closer to home . Specialist
