Homes for Heroes House to be Presented Tuesday

A hometown hero will receive a new house tomorrow.

Army Specialist Louis Flores and his family will be presented with their completed and furnished mortgage-free home, which is being featured in the 2012 Parade of Homes.

The ceremony will be held Tuesday, June 5^th at 11 a.m., located at 6405 77^th Street in the Bacon Crest subdivision.

The home was built by Lubbock Homes for Heroes, in partnership with the West Texas Home Builders Association and Texas Tech Athletics.

Flores, a Plainview native, was deployed to Northern Iraq where he served as a medic. He was involved in multiple IED explosions, and helped fellow soldiers from IED explosions or civilians in the aftermath of a suicide bomber attack in a public market.

Flores came home and attended Texas Tech, but the trauma he suffered during his service alerted doctors to a moderate brain injury.
