00:05.540 --> 00:06.540
Yeah .

00:11.640 --> 00:13.870
Recently retired Staff Sergeant Vincent

00:13.870 --> 00:16.120
Garzarelli and his family moved into a

00:16.120 --> 00:18.960
new house for the Gammarelli family

00:18.970 --> 00:22.810
home has been an elusive concept on

00:22.810 --> 00:25.520
september 11th 2000 and one gives a

00:25.520 --> 00:27.742
really was serving in Kosovo and a year

00:27.742 --> 00:29.853
later he re enlisted , transferred to

00:29.853 --> 00:32.020
first Battalion second Marine Regiment

00:32.020 --> 00:33.890
and deployed to Iraq during two

00:33.890 --> 00:36.370
deployments to Iraq . Israeli suffered

00:36.370 --> 00:38.560
multiple injuries during combat ,

00:39.220 --> 00:41.390
including shrapnel , post traumatic

00:41.390 --> 00:43.570
stress disorder and traumatic brain

00:43.570 --> 00:46.210
injury . The gunny and my shop said , I

00:46.210 --> 00:48.321
can tell you're struggling and I know

00:48.321 --> 00:50.377
it's not from lack of effort because

00:50.377 --> 00:52.432
you're here all day and says there's

00:52.432 --> 00:54.766
something wrong . I said , I don't know ,

00:54.766 --> 00:56.932
I can't focus and uh I got him missing

00:56.932 --> 00:58.766
simple things and I went and got

00:58.766 --> 01:01.099
checked out for it turned out I had a T .

01:01.099 --> 01:03.210
B . I . G . Is a really returned home

01:03.210 --> 01:05.432
after his deployments and tried to move

01:05.432 --> 01:07.654
on with his life . However , the wounds

01:07.654 --> 01:09.821
both physical and emotional lingered .

01:09.930 --> 01:12.600
In 2009 . He was medically retired from

01:12.600 --> 01:14.767
the Marine Corps . It hasn't been easy

01:14.767 --> 01:16.989
since I , since I got out of the Marine

01:16.989 --> 01:19.560
Corps . Uh huh . Financially

01:19.620 --> 01:21.731
emotionally has been very difficult .

01:21.731 --> 01:24.030
But then in 2011 , the Israelis were

01:24.030 --> 01:26.086
selected to receive a new house from

01:26.086 --> 01:27.810
operation . Finally , home , a

01:27.810 --> 01:29.790
nonprofit organization designed to

01:29.790 --> 01:32.560
provide homes to wounded warriors . The

01:32.570 --> 01:34.792
Israelis were not only selected because

01:34.792 --> 01:36.959
of their sacrifice but also because of

01:36.959 --> 01:38.959
their willingness to help others to

01:38.959 --> 01:41.126
include becoming the foster parents to

01:41.126 --> 01:43.348
three young boys . We didn't know it at

01:43.348 --> 01:45.570
the time , but they had told us , we'll

01:45.570 --> 01:47.570
get back to you . Uh , I guess they

01:47.570 --> 01:49.570
decided that day that these are the

01:49.570 --> 01:51.626
people for this house . G . Israelis

01:51.626 --> 01:53.681
don't have a mortgage or rent to pay

01:53.681 --> 01:55.903
and they never will , but for the first

01:55.903 --> 01:57.959
time they are finally home reporting

01:57.959 --> 02:00.070
from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune .

02:00.070 --> 02:01.350
I'm corporal Daniel Wolves .
