In this story from CBS Denver, Brady Martin, owner of Colorado-based TSV Construction and Roofing, explains how a small idea turned into a major project aimed at thanking U.S. Army veteran Leon “Doc” Kouns.
“It made sense, especially with the Fourth of July, and Doc being a veteran,” Martin told CBS Denver. “We greatly appreciate our veterans and it’s a great chance to say 'thank you' to him. It’s taking responsibility when you see a need. Especially in the world we live in right now.”
Kouns served as a combat medic in the U.S. Special Forces, and has since overcome health issues over the past several years. Due to this and his limited income, the disabled veteran hasn’t been able to keep up with the repairs on his home, which needed a total roof replacement and a new paint job.
CBS Denver states Martin, who lives down the street from Kouns, coordinated efforts with GAF to provide $20,000 to help Kouns fix up his home, which included material and labor costs.
“There’s still kindness in the world, even as turbulent as it is now. You just have to be grateful and look for the good,” Kouns said to CBS Denver. Read full story here
