LCPL MARK BEYERS

East Aurora, NY

Mission Accomplished on July 5, 2008

Marine Lance Corporal Mark Beyers of Elma, N.Y., was severely injured by an improvised explosive device (IED) while on foot patrol with the 3rd Battalion, 25th Marines in Hit, Iraq, in August 2005. He lost his right arm and right leg in the blast and sustained damage to his hearing.

Mark and his wife Denise already had a home in New York, but it needed to be remodeled to accommodate Mark’s injuries. Homes For Our Troops completed renovations on Mark’s home on July 5, 2008. Thank you to everyone who helped make it possible.
