Check out this video and witness an unforgettable surprise from our Illinois Division. Watch the moment U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Tomee Phetsisouk and his two daughters realized his family's dream of stable homeownership became a reality. What they thought was just a routine interview turned into pure shock, overwhelming relief and deep gratitude. The celebration continued outside with cheers from Pulte employees, community members, fellow veterans, and project partners, followed by heartfelt speeches and the official groundbreaking ceremony for the custom-designed home in the Chicago suburbs.
For the last decade, PulteGroup’s Built to Honor® program has recognized and thanked returning military personnel who have been injured during their term of service by providing mortgage-free homes to veterans and their families. Launched in 2013, the program has built and donated over 80 homes, gifting more than $30 million in value, across the country. Built to Honor works in partnership with nonprofit organizations to identify veteran candidates. For more information about Built to Honor, go to builttohonor.org.
