A 95-year-old World War II hero, whose family home was in a state of disrepair, is being helped by fellow veterans to restore the house he lived in with his late wife.

Purple Heart and Bronze Star recipient Alfred Guerra, of San Antonio, Texas, served in the Pacific War during World War II. When a concerned family member posted a shout-out on Facebook in the fall of 2020 asking for help restoring his dilapidated home, people responded in droves.
