“The family has never seen the home,” said Andrew Ladner, president of Operation Coming Home. “This has happened with COVID, normally the family works through the entire process of the build but they have not been to the house whatsoever.”
Past home dedications are normally filled with lots of fanfare including military flyovers and state dignitaries on hand. But, due to social distancing, Hero Home 21 will be dedicated to the Nichols family with only a few people on hand but it will all be broadcast virtually. […]”
