Corporal Chris Levi Homecoming

Just got home from the homecoming celebration for Corporal Chris Levi of Holbrook, New York. Corporal Levi (U.S. Army) was finally able to come home today after a year-long stay at Walter Reed Army Hospital following traumatic amputation of both legs while on deployment in Sadr City, Iraq in March 2008. The community, led by the Holbrook Fire Department, came together and renovated the Levi home so that Corporal Levi would be able to comfortably return to his family's home and try to resume his life. Welcome home, Chris.
