Army Veteran And His Family Are Finally Home

By Allison Westlake

Retired U.S. Army Sgt. Adam Lee has a new place to call home that shows the spirit of giving back and the power of community. As Lee, his wife, Sherri, and their two children move to Auburn, they are eager to live in a community, and a house, they say already feels like home.

The build, in partnership with Dilworth Development and Southern Living, is part of Operation FINALLY HOME, a 501(c)(3) organization that provides homes and home modifications to America’s military heroes and the widows of fallen soldiers. The organization, based in New Braunfels, Texas, partners with corporate sponsors, builder associations, builders, remodelers, developers, individual contributors and volunteers to address one of veterans’ most pressing needs – a place to call home.

The Lee family gathered with representatives from Dilworth Development, Operation FINALLY HOME, project partners and members of the Auburn community on May 30 for a dedication ceremony in the Rosemary Gate subdivision to celebrate the completion of the new custom-built, mortgage-free home.“It is a dream come true,” said Lee. “Everything we could have ever dreamt of and more is in this home; it is more than words can say.”
