A charitable organization is paying off the home of a fallen Green Beret from Idaho.
Army Sgt. 1st Class Dustin Ard was killed during his third deployment to Afghanistan last month. He left behind his pregnant wife, Mary, and their young daughter.
The Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation announced the group is paying off the mortgage on the Ard’s Idaho Falls home.
The Foundation was created to honor the memory of Stephen Siller, a New York firefighter who died on Sept. 11, 2001, while working to save the lives of others. One aspect of the foundation’s mission is to provide mortgage-free homes to the families of fallen service members.
East Idaho News reports, Ard was Green Beret with the Army Special Forces. He died at the start of a joint mission with Afghan commandos.
