Wounded veteran to receive new house, independence | KSL.com

At the end of a winding driveway near Long Lake Outlet, construction workers are building a house that will give a wounded veteran his freedom.

Last week, Tom Male and Male Construction employees put up the first wall as a crowd of roughly 700 watched in Anderson Middle School's gymnasium in Berkley, near Detroit, according to The Alpena News ( http://bit.ly/1Qyyo0z ).

Dave Scott, a media representative for the Stephen Siller Tunnels to Towers Foundation, broadcasted from the site of the foundation's only project house in Michigan with Steve Diamond, Buick and GM area sales manager.

In that gymnasium was Army Staff Sgt. Ben Eberle, who lost both legs and one arm after being wounded in Afghanistan. John Hodge, Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation chief operations officer, said the crowd and the warm welcome they gave Eberle was a sight to behold.
