Smart Home Dedication CPL Kyle Hockenberry

CARPET ONE FLOOR & MOORE PROUDLY PARTNERS WITH BUILDING FOR AMERICA’S BRAVEST.


On June 15, 2011, while on foot patrol, 19-year-old  CPL Kyle Hockenberry stepped on a pressure plate IED and was blown over a two story grape hut.  The blast cost him both of his legs above the knee and his left arm.  Relying on his own strength and determination, Kyle has continued to move forward, aided by the unwavering support of his wife, parents, and extended family.


Building for America’s Bravest is honored to announce a Smart Home for Kyle has officially been completed. This home will give him back some of the independence he lost due to his injuries. It is a custom made home built to provide easy access and mobilization for the veteran and his family to spend quality time in.


On June 18th, Kyle received the keys to his new home in Ohio.
