Cpl. Bobby Isaacs, 2nd Brigade, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), Fort Campbell, KY, joined the armed forces after 9/11 and was deployed to Iraq in spring of 2003. Ten months later, Isaacs' life changed forever when a roadside bomb ripped apart his convoy as it traveled near Mosul. "It shattered all the bones and severed my femoral artery, and I bled out," he said. "I think they lost me a couple of times, actually."
Cpl Isaacs initially was given an imminent death retirement because he wasn’t expected to recover from his injuries. After 37 operations, Isaacs has decided he wants to go to college so he can work with amputees. “I want to use my situation in a positive way,” said Isaacs. “I can share my experience to help somebody.”
Homes for Our Troops helped Cpl. Isaacs take one step closer to that dream.
The house has been remodled and adapted to meet Bobby's needs. Thanks to ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and the VERY GENEROUS outpouring of Roxboro area support, we renovated Bobby's house in a couple of days ... the folks of Roxboro were a HUGE help and have allot to be proud of Congratulations Bobby and Charlotte, we hope that you enjoy your new home!
