ARLINGTON, Va., Dec. 18, 2007 – Army National Guard Spc. Michael Lucas received an extra-special homecoming during his mid-tour leave from Iraq recently when he and his family discovered they had been selected for a total home renovation, courtesy of the ABC reality television show “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.”
A lifelong history buff, Lucas had begun construction on a house near Rice, Va., on the site of the Civil War’s Battle of High Ridge. But he was deployed before he could finish the home, and the family moved into a rental property in Cullen, Va. Jean home-schools both of her children, and the nomination for the home makeover came through members of the home school cooperative where she is a member.
National Guard soldiers were quick to lend a helping hand. About 50 soldiers volunteered their time to help build a home for a fellow soldier.
