By any measure, John Galena is one extraordinary individual. John was a successful new home builder who - served in the North Carolina National Guard and when duty called - was deployed to Iraq. While clearing a route to Fallujah, his unit struck two anti-tank mines leaving John with traumatic brain injuries and back injuries -- and his friend and fellow soldier Dale Beatty - a double-amputee. John and Dale returned to the United States as disabled veterans and became acutely aware of the lack of badly needed services vets needed to live normal, productive lives. So, they did something about it and started Purple Heart Homes, a non-profit organization that provides housing assistance for service-connected vets and have thus far completed over 750 projects across the nation.
