“Specialist Lewis has served our country with pride and we hope this new home will help ease his struggles and provide his family many future happy memories,” said Jason Boyer, Vice President of Construction Operations for PulteGroup’s Tennessee Division. “We are thankful for the generosity of the many contractors and suppliers who will support this effort to build the Lewis family a beautiful new Centex home.”

The two-level, single-family home will be 2,700+ square feet, with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The home will be ready in spring 2022.

This will be the first home dedicated in the greater Nashville area through PulteGroup’s Built to Honor program. The home is being awarded in partnership with Building Homes for Heroes®, a national non-profit organization strongly committed to rebuilding lives and supporting the brave men and women who were injured while serving the country during the time of the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan.

U.S. Army Specialist Christopher Lewis

Army Specialist Christopher Lewis joined the military out of Nashville in 2002 and served for 10 years. Following in his family’s footsteps, he is the fifth generation to enlist. While serving in Iraq, Specialist Lewis’ company was 30 meters from an improvised explosive device (IED) when it was detonated. The explosion caused a traumatic brain injury, memory loss, and the temporary loss of his hearing and sight. Due to his combat inquiries, Lewis still suffers from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other physical injuries today.

For his service to his country, Specialist Lewis is the recipient of the Army Commendation Medal, Army Achievement Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, Good Conduct Medal, NATO Medal, National Defense Medal, Army Service Ribbon and the Overseas Service Ribbon.
