Phoenix Remodeling Contractor Unveils Home To Wounded Warrior

Celebrating this nations birthday reminds us of the freedoms we have in this country, but this freedom does not come without sacrifice. The men and women that serve in our armed forces protect this nation and it’s freedoms. Although it may be easy to reach out to thank our military on holidays like July 4th, Veterans Day or Memorial Day, it’s important that we take every opportunity to give thanks and show gratitude to our military. So when the opportunity came up for Peak One Builders owner Mike Christensen to collaborate once again with Jared Allen’s Homes for Wounded Warrior project to renovate a home for another US Army veteran, this general contractor in Scottsdale jumped in.

To say that the last six years has been a challenge for Army Ranger Sergeant First Class Cory Remsburg would be an understatement. Since being severely injured in Afghanistan in 2009, the retired Army Vet has undergone extensive surgeries, therapy and to gain mastery over several daily tasks. Unfortunately, his home environment was not set up in a way to support Cory’s new lifestyle.
This is where the Peak One Builders team has stepped up to provide some knowledge and support to make common home living easier for Sergeant Remsburg and his family. Since August of 2014, several Phoenix-based businesses have chipped in to support a full home renovation project for Cory Remsburg – allowing one of our local hero’s is to live inside a home enhanced with several improvements that will permit him the freedom to live and move around in a comfortable environment.

Our Nation’s heroes often give their lives and livelihood to protect the freedom that we all enjoy on a daily basis. When we can supply some time, materials and a little bit of sweat to give something back to help them live a higher quality of life in their time of need, the rewards are bigger than any large construction contract can provide. The team at Peak One Builders is proud to announce the official groundbreaking for Army Ranger Sgt. First Class Cory Remsburg and his new home remodeling project allowing him to continue to recover from a 2009 injury that nearly claimed his life.
Sgt. First Class Remsburg joined the Army when he was 18 years old and went through the rigorous, specialized training to eventually become an elite Army Ranger, deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan 10 times. He spent a total of 39 months in combat and made leader of his company’s heavy weapons squad. Among many honors, Remsburg has been awarded the Purple Heart, the National Defense Service Medal, the Bronze Star, and was honored during this year’s State of the Union Presidential Address.

It’s not uncommon to hear stories of individuals or organizations helping our nations Veterans who have sacrificed so much in defense of their country.

[flagallery gid=13 name=Gallery]Thank you to Amanda, Dylan, and Jared for inviting us out to Jared Allen’s Homes For Wounded Warriors Night Ops III Charity Golf Tournament at the Ancala Country Club on Saturday May 19th.
It was really great to see so much support for our wounded veteran soldiers such as our friend Joshua Bullis and those like him who have returned from the battlefield in need of a home especially suited for them. Peak One Builders & Restoration is proud to be a part of this cause, so we certainly commend Jared Allen for his vision, dedication, and using his celebrity status in such a positive way which brings more awareness to the community along with the resources to make a difference to some of those who have sacrificed for all of us.
Celebrities such as Larry Fitzgerald, Johnny Knoxville, Jason “Wee-Man” Acuna, Eric Christian Olsen, James Otto, Jay Glazier, and more participated in the event, which also sometimes subjected them to being ordered by US Soldiers to do pushups or situps at the tee box if required. The tournament was at night and was aided by glow in the dark golf balls, which was a sight to see. Afterward a contest broke out at the 280 foot slip and slide, which was certainly entertaining, but now having seen a bunch of guys squirt dish soap on themselves before their turn on the slide…I’m not quite sure there was a winner.
Thanks again to Jared Allen’s Homes For Wounded Warriors and we look forward to Night Ops IV next year!
Jared Allen’s Homes for Wounded Warriors (JAH4WW), a 501c3 public charity, is honored to announce the commencement of another home remodel for an injured United States Soldier.
JAH4WW is a non-profit organization created for the sole purpose of raising money to build or modify the homes of America’s injured Military Veterans so that they are handicap accessible and comfortable. Jared Allen of the Minnesota Vikings formed the organization in 2009 after he returned home from his USO Tour to U.S. Military Bases in the Middle East.
JAH4WW has chosen the Phoenix, Arizona native PFC. Joshua Bullis as the next recipient for home renovations. In April 2010, Bullis deployed to the Kandahar province in southern Afghanistan with the 595th Sapper Company, 2nd Engineer Battalion. As combat engineers, Bullis and the other Soldiers in the unit were responsible for constructing roads and bridges and clearing routes, which made it possible for other troops to travel throughout the region. While on a routine foot patrol through an Afghan village, PFC. Joshua Bullis stepped on a buried improvised explosive device (IED). As a result of the blast, both of his legs were amputated above his knee, as was his left arm above the elbow.
PFC. Joshua Bullis will need a complete home remodel which includes all new flooring for wheelchair accessibility, ramps in every entrance, custom bathrooms and kitchen, wider doors and hallways, alterations to the garage to allow easy access from his custom vehicle, and an outdoor patio.
Peak One Builders & Restoration is proud to join forces with Jared Allen’s Homes For Wounded Warriors and help out one of our own. This is a great cause to be a part of, and if you are interested in finding out more about it or how you can help then follow this link http://jaredallen69inc.com/h4ww/home.html .
