PulteGroup’s Built to Honor Program Awards 50th Mortgage-Free Home
September 07 2017 - 9:51AM
In just six years, PulteGroup’s Built to Honor program, which
supports wounded veterans and their families by providing
mortgage-free homes, has achieved a significant milestone as it
will deliver the Program’s 50th home to Staff Sergeant Clark “Jey”
Johnson and his family in Bluffton, South Carolina.

“During the years of this program’s existence,
our company has delivered more than 100,000 homes to our customers.
But these 50 homes delivered by the Built to Honor program are
uniquely special and truly life altering to the wounded warriors
and their families,” said Ryan Marshall, president and CEO of
PulteGroup. “Not a single home would have been built without the
passionate support and unwavering commitment of our PulteGroup
employees, our trade partners and our suppliers.”
“A Built to Honor home was meant to be a
foundation on which the veteran and their family could build the
next stage of their lives, and it’s so amazing to see what these
veterans have accomplished since moving into their home,” Marshall
added. Several heroes have graduated from college and transitioned
to full-time employment; some have participated and won medals in
the Invictus Games; one has written a book; and one has started a
community band for children.
Kicking off the 50th home celebration will be a
Notes of Love event where the members of the Bluffton community
will blanket the wall studs with notes of encouragement, blessings
and inspirational comments. Additionally, well-wishers can leave a
virtual note of love on the Built to Honor Facebook page at
facebook.com/BuiltToHonor.
Retired U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Johnson to
Relocate Family to South Carolina
Johnson is a 16-year Army veteran who has been
married 18 years to his wife, Shana. Currently living in Colorado
Springs, Colorado, the family has four children and three
grandchildren. They are expected to make the cross country move to
the Centex Seagrass Station community in November – just in time
for the holiday season.
Johnson completed deployment tours in Bosnia,
Kuwait, and Iraq. During his last deployment in Iraq in 2006, he
suffered injuries by improvised explosive devices, on two separate
missions. In 2012, he medically retired from the Army.
“It truly is our honor to be a part of building
the home of their dreams where the Johnson family can focus on
creating long-lasting memories in their new home,” says Charlie
Tipton, the Company’s division president for Coastal Carolinas.
“Jey has served our country with pride and we hope this home will
provide him and his family with the security and peace of mind as
they move to Bluffton area.”
This home will be the fifth home dedicated in
South Carolina through the Built to Honor program, and is in
partnership with Military Warriors Support Foundation, which
supports our nation’s combat wounded heroes and Gold Star families
as they transition out of the military and into civilian life.
Since 2013, the Coastal Carolinas division has delivered homes to
wounded veterans in the cities of Beaufort, Ladson, Myrtle Beach
and Summerville.
