Cpl Evan Morgan

Bakersfield, CA

U.S. Marine Evan Morgan was on his second tour of duty in Iraq when a Humvee he was riding in was struck by a roadside bomb. The 23-year-old lost both legs and the sight in his right eye in the explosion.

Despite spending more than 15 months in hospitals, Morgan treats life as a precious gift. You can't change the past, he said, so you do what you can with what you've been handed. And the Morgans' are doing just that, they recently welcomed a beautiful baby girl into the world.

Homes for Our Troops is honored to work with MetalCon International for the second time, the first time was for SSG Russ Marek. MetalCon will construct the metal frame structure for The Morgan's new house at their 17th annual convention. Please join us in providing a new home for The Morgan Family.
