Orlando, FL -- A local
U.S. Army veteran and his family received the gift of a lifetime on November
28. Army veteran Andrew Inman, his wife Erin and two young
daughters saw for the first time, their brand-new mortgage-free home in St.
Cloud, Florida.
The home was built and donated by PulteGroup through the
company’s Built to Honor program in partnership with nonprofit Operation
Homefront.
The family was first surprised
with the announcement during an Osceola County Board of Commissioners meeting
in May. Since then, PulteGroup’s North Florida division, along with their
trade partners and suppliers, have been hard at work constructing the
brand-new, four-bedroom home to welcome the Inman family home for the holidays.

“This is the best way for us
to say thank you to someone for their service and sacrifice,” said Clint
Ball, division president for PulteGroup’s North Florida operations.
“We have had the wonderful opportunity to meet and spend
time with Andrew and his family, and there could not be four people more deserving
of this new home. I hope they build lasting memories here and enjoy their
very first Christmas in their new home.”
Andrew and his wife, Erin,
have been married for 13 years and have two daughters, Brianna, 13, and Zoe,
7.
Andrew served nine years in the military. He enlisted in the
Marines in 1997 and served for five years until 2002. One year later, he
enlisted in the Army and served two tours to Iraq as a specialist. In 2006,
Andrew was honorably discharged.

Said Inman and his wife, “Our
main goal was to be homeowners. We wanted a home to call our own and for our
children to grow up in—so this is certainly a dream come true. We are
incredibly grateful to Pulte and Operation Homefront for this gift — it will be
life-changing.”
The Inman family saw their
completed new home for the first time on Wednesday, November 28. Thanks to the
generosity of Pulte employees, vendors and trade partners the home is
fully-furnished, and many services were donated to build the home.
During the construction process, the home was also filled
with “Notes of Love.” Pulte employees and others involved in the
construction of the home, along with some of the Inman’s friends and family
members, left notes of hope, encouragement and love for the family on the studs
of the walls before they were closed up. Andrew Inman also wrote a
heartfelt tribute to all his fallen Army brothers.

“We are excited to provide the Inman family a home that will
create life-changing financial stability, and relief from the burden of a
decades long mortgage.
"At Operation Homefront, we are changing lives by
partnering with like-minded individuals, companies, and other organizations to
accomplish our mission of building strong, stable, and secure military families
so that they can thrive – not struggle to get by – in the communities they have
worked so hard to protect.”
PulteGroup’s Built to Honor
program was launched in 2013 to recognize and thank returning military
personnel who have been injured during their term of service by providing
mortgage-free homes to veterans and their families.
Built to Honor works in partnership with nonprofit
organizations to identify veteran candidates. This is the 52nd home
dedicated through the Built to Honor program.
