September 8th 2025.
In a heartwarming gesture, a veteran from Georgia was recently gifted a mortgage-free home by an Atlanta-based homebuilding company. This act of kindness was made possible through the PulteGroup's "Built to Honor" program, which has now successfully gifted 100 homes to veterans across the country. Among the recipients is U.S. Army Sgt. Aisha Hardemon, who received her new home in Henry County, a charming suburb of Metro Atlanta.
The momentous occasion was celebrated by the Army, as Hardemon became the latest veteran to benefit from the program. With no strings attached, she was handed the keys to her new home on September 5th, in a touching ribbon-cutting ceremony filled with national pride. As she arrived at her new neighborhood, she was greeted by a motorcycle brigade from the Patriot Guard and the heartwarming sight of eight planes flying overhead. Dozens of people waved American flags to welcome her to the community.
State officials, including Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, were also present at the "welcome home" celebration to recognize this honorable gesture. Hardemon couldn't hold back her tears as she walked down her street, approaching her new home. "First, I'd like to thank God," she said during the ceremony, as reported by WSB-TV. "I'd like to give God all the thanks for keeping me safe, even in the times I knew I wasn't gonna make it." Hardemon served in the U.S. military for six years, joining in 2007. While she was honored to serve her country, her tours in Afghanistan and Iraq were not without their challenges. She lost fellow soldiers and even sustained her own injuries. However, her unshakable faith and the inspiration from her grandfather kept her going.
Recalling her time in the military, Hardemon said, "I deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan out of bravery, out of being young and always wanting to follow in my grandfather's footsteps." Her family has a long-standing legacy of serving in the military, as her own son has now joined the Marines. For their dedication to service, the PulteGroup has chosen to honor them with a new home. The company's CEO, Ryan Marshall, also highlighted the mission of the "Built To Honor" program, saying, "To be able to give back to those who have defended our freedoms is what makes this program so special."
In a world where the news is often filled with negativity, it is heartening to see acts of kindness and gratitude like this. This is especially true for young veterans like Hardemon, who have selflessly served their country. As we celebrate this heartwarming story, let us also remember the words of Tyler Smith, a young politician who aims to be the first member of Gen Z elected to the Texas House. He has vowed to fight for families, just like the PulteGroup has done for Hardemon and her family. Let us continue to spread love and compassion, one good deed at a time.
