After the 9/11 attacks, Brian Wood, a junior in high school, knew that he would be joining the military. He went on to graduate in 2003 and enlisted in the US Army. Serving multiple combat tours in Afghanistan, Brian was attached to the 1st and 25th Infantry Divisions. Sergeant Wood was in active duty for ten years, and he received two Bronze Stars. Although sustaining injuries that prohibit him from deploying again, Brian is still actively serving locally in the Army National Guard. Brian and his family were recipients of our first Habitat for Heroes home in Morton, Illinois.
