Founded in 2008, by veterans and friends John Gallina and the late Dale Beatty, with both having served and suffered life-changing injuries during combat in Iraq, their goal is to support all honorably discharged veterans with no one left behind or forgotten. Purple Heart Homes provides peace of mind and higher quality of life to qualifying veterans.
"Purple Heart Homes is thrilled to be the exclusive nonprofit partner of Military Makeover," says Dave Sternberg, Board Chairman, Purple Heart Homes.

Decorated veteran and Military Makeover host, Montel Williams, along with co-host Art Edmonds and designer Jennifer Bertrand, have completed their 34th season of Military Makeover.

"I can think of few greater privileges than working with Purple Heart Homes to provide worthy heroes and their families the type of forever-home they so desire," says Montel Williams. "These home makeovers are a small way to show our appreciation for the service and dedication given to our country, by John, Dale, and all our veterans.
"We're honored and excited to be expanding our relationship with Purple Heart Homes," says Scott Moss, EVP/President, BrandStar Entertainment.

Purple Heart Homes:
Purple Heart Homes (PHH) was founded in 2008 by Veterans and friends John Gallina and the late Dale Beatty. They served together in Iraq and suffered life-changing injuries during combat. Returning home to Statesville, North Carolina, the community provided a warm welcome and celebrated their return. The genuine spirit of appreciation for their service was apparent, and this sparked questions. Why don't all Veterans receive the same level of support? As time wears on, do people forget? Is there a grace period people have until life should just get back to normal? What happens when injuries prevent going back to normal? These questions prompted the conversations that led to the founding of PHH. John and Dale didn't want this feeling of support and recognition to wear off. The support provided by PHH reaches Veterans of all eras. No Veteran should be left behind or forgotten.
