Groundbreakings of 'Homes for Our Troops' on video
WASHINGTON (5/20/08)--Videos of the groundbreakings of two homes in the "Homes for Our Troops" project involving credit unions is available on the Credit Union National Association's (CUNA) website.
CUNA, along with the National Journal Group and the Republican and Democratic National Conventions, are jointly sponsoring homes for two disabled U.S. servicemen wounded in the line of duty.
Credit unions will build the homes for Army Sgt. Marcus Kuboy in St. Paul, Minn., site of the Republican convention, and Staff Sgt. Travis Strong in Golden, Colo., near the Denver site of the Democratic convention.
At each national convention, America's Credit Unions look for opportunities to give back to the host cities.
Homes for Our Troops is a nonprofit organization that builds specially adapted homes for severely injured service members.
