A Marine who lost both of his legs in the line of duty received a personal call from veteran advocate Gary Sinise with life-changing news. The charitable foundation in the actor’s namesake was building a custom smart home for the veteran who sacrificed so much for the country he loves.
Staff Sergeant Jonathon Blank, 32, served in the Marine Corps during Operation Iraqi Freedom until 2010. When an improvised explosive device (IED) exploded in the vicinity of Blank and his comrades, he was severely injured. His legs could not be saved.
