    Lt. Governor Dan Forest will be joined by Miss North Carolina Olivia Olvera and several wounded warriors to open nominations for a home to be awarded to a warrior wounded in Iraq or Afghanistan. The event is being hosted by HelpingaHero.org. The 501(c)(3) nonprofit, nonpartisan organization's endeavor to award a home to a wounded warrior is especially important to Lt. Governor Forest. As a member of the NC Advisory Commission on Military Affairs, he knows the needs of North Carolina's large community of active duty and retired veterans are a vital concern of his constituents. "North Carolina is known as the most military-friendly state in the country, s!omething that gives me a great deal of pride," said Lt. Governor Forest.

    The home to be awarded will be custom built by McKee Homes in the Legacy Lakes Community in Aberdeen, NC. The design will be determined once the hero is selected so all physical adaptation needs of the wounded warrior can be met. This will be the fifth home the Texas-based HelpingaHero.org organization has awarded in North Carolina.

    There will be time for media availability immediately following the press conference. This event is open to the public. For more information contact: Kami Mueller at (765) 215-1334, or by email at kami@danforest.com.
