In December of 2011, Staff Sergeant Hale, an EOD technician, was severely injured in Afghanistan when an improvised explosive device (IED) detonated. Every bone is SSG Hale’s face was broken; he suffered severe burns, and was left completely blind. He served a tour in Iraq and two tours in Afghanistan. SSG Hale’s unit completed 1,110 counter-IED missions, destroying more than 20,000 pounds of enemy explosives. SSG Hale, a Purple Heart recipient, estimates he disabled as many as 50 explosive devices during his last tour in Afghanistan.
SSG Hale, his wife, Kelly, and their four children, Sheldon, Bailey, McKenzie, and Cameron will be moving into a beautiful newly renovated, mortgage-free home provided by Chase Bank. The home has been extensively modified by award-winning general contracting company Randy Wise Homes, Inc. specifically to meet SSG Hale’s needs. Randy Wise Homes, the most recent builder to join the Building Homes for Heroes construction team, was recently selected for inclusion in the Southern Living Magazine’s exclusive Custom Builder Program.

Not only is this a great gift for the Hale family, it is also a great opportunity for the community to be a part of something so special.” Randy Wise, President and Owner of Randy Wise Homes, Inc. said recently.
