Built to Honor Delivers Home to Decorated USAF Veteran
US Air Force Master Sergeant Reilly and his family receive the first Built to Honor home in the Southeast Florida region
County and city officials along with PulteGroup employees, Building Homes for Heroes and Palm Beach County’s Ibis Charities Foundation welcomed U.S. Air Force Master Sergeant Francis “Frankie” Reilly and his family to their new mortgage-free home through PulteGroup’s Built to Honor program on May 13, 2024. This is the first Built to Honor home delivered in Southeast Florida.
Master Sergeant Reilly joined the military in 1994 and served honorably for 24 years, receiving over 25 medals during his service. He medically retired after enduring an injury as a jumpmaster that resulted in permanent paralysis of his right leg. In addition, Master Sergeant Reilly was diagnosed with PTSD and TBI (traumatic brain injury). He continues his recovery and has become a paralympic cycling athlete with hopes to qualify for the Olympics.
After cutting the ribbon on their new front porch and receiving the keys, Master Sergeant Reilly and his family saw their new home for the first time. The 2,685-square-foot-plus single-family home has four bedrooms and two bathrooms with special features built specifically for them. PulteGroup added special upgrades including a pool and custom rehab room in the garage with a built-in ice tub and refrigerator for Master Sergeant Reilly to use following intense paralympic training sessions. PulteGroup awarded the home in partnership with Building Homes for Heroes®, a national non-profit organization devoted to bringing renewed hope and service to injured veterans.
