Mission Accomplished on July 8, 2017

On Aug. 9, 2005, Army Sergeant Richard “Tony” Doyle was serving as an Infantryman with the 2nd Battalion, 130th Infantry, in Baghdad, Iraq, when he was ejected from his vehicle, resulting in the amputation of his left leg, herniated discs, and a traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Tony and his wife, Melissa, are proud parents to Dylan, Draven, Logan, and Cayden. Tony works in centralized dispatch for ABC Supply Company. Melissa has been a senior lecturer at the University of Texas at San Antonio for more than a decade. She teaches classes in health, kinesiology and community health promotion.

Their previous living arrangements made daily tasks challenging for Tony due to the obstacles he faced in a non-accessible home. In their specially adapted custom HFOT home, he can access every room in the open floor plan, and cook safely and easily in the barrier-free, adapted kitchen.

Tony chose to build his home in Texas to be close to family and friends.

Tony says he is grateful to HFOT donors and supporters for their generosity. “You provide so much more than homes for Veterans. You give us focus again, a reason to push forward, and a new lease on life.”
