On September 25, 2011, while leading his squad on foot patrol in Afghanistan, Sgt. Doug Vitale stepped on an improvised explosive device and lost both of his legs above the knee. Due to blood loss Doug suffered strokes on both sides of his brain. His fellow Marines in the field put their own lives in jeopardy in order to get Doug to safety and back home to his family.
Today, Building for America’s Bravest, with the help of Carpet One Floor & Home, is proud to announce that Doug’s smart home is officially built and ready for Doug to move in. The home will help Doug gain independence after the loss of his limbs. It was built for easy access and mobilization for Doug and his family to be able to spend quality time in.
Doug's new smart home provided in partnership with Building For America's Bravest.
Rusmur Floors members worked with Alexis Vitale to design the shower and install the tile.
