One local hero is now the proud owner of a brand new home in West Ranch, thanks to the Helping a Hero program, Friendswood Development Company and Perry Homes. On November 14, Corporal Steven Schulz, U.S.M.C. and his family were presented with the keys to his new home during a special event that included a number of special guests and a variety of local media.
Schulz, who suffered a severe traumatic brain injury fighting the war in Iraq, has received numerous honors for his bravery and accomplishments including a Purple Heart, a Combat Action Ribbon, a Marine Corp. Good Conduct Medal, and a National Defense Service Medal. A graduate of Friendswood High School, Schulz, whose mother Debbie was also a teacher at Friendswood High School, wanted to remain living in Friendswood but needed a home to fit his needs.
