U.S. Marine Corps Corporal Neftali “Nef” Mendoza and his family
received the keys to their newly completed and personalized home in
Celina, Texas during a special dedication event on Monday, January
29. Operation Finally Home along with Normandy Homes, one of
Green Brick Partners, Inc.’s (NYSE: GRBK) subsidiary homebuilder
brands, partnered to provide the home for the Mendoza family.
The Mendoza family was escorted to their new home by the Celina
Fire and Police Departments and Patriot Guard Riders. Guests,
neighbors and city officials welcomed the Mendozas to their new
home, along with contractors, suppliers, and others who had a role
in providing the Mendozas with their new home. A dedication and
ribbon-cutting ceremony followed, featuring Celina City Council
Member Jay Pierce and representatives from Operation Finally Home
and Normandy Homes. During the ceremony, the family received the
keys to their new home and got their first look at the completed
house.
U.S. Marine Corps Corporal Nef Mendoza and his family were
initially surprised when they were told in August 2023 that they
were receiving a personalized, mortgage-free home. Nef and his
wife, Alexis, along with their children, believed they were meeting
with representatives from Operation Finally Home and Normandy Homes
as part of the preliminary interview process. They were astonished
to learn they had already been selected to receive a home in
Celina.
“We are so honored to partner
with Operation Finally Home again,” said Jim Brickman, CEO and
co-founder of Green Brick. “This is a wonderful opportunity for
Green Brick, Normandy Homes, our trade partners, and the community
to thank and honor veterans for their faithful service.”
Green Brick donated the lot on which the home is
built. Normandy Homes and its trade partners provided, at their own
expense, all construction and ancillary costs. Operation Finally
Home provided additional support and gap funding for the
project.
“We have some of the best trades in the
business. When approached about the project they eagerly jumped in
to donate their time and materials to make this happen,” said Steve
Schermerhorn, President of Normandy Homes. “Our employees also
personally gathered donations and gifted household items to the
family to help them make a fresh start.”
Each year, Green Brick and its subsidiary
builders volunteer and work with incredible organizations across
the country that constantly strive to improve quality of life for
others and pay it forward, including recently working on multiple
projects with Operation Finally Home and St. Jude Children’s
Research Hospital.
About U.S. Marine Corp Corporal Neftali
“Nef” Mendoza | U.S. Marine Corporal Neftali “Nef” Mendoza
was born and raised in Houston, Texas. He joined the United States
Marine Corps at age 18 and served four years, including a six-month
deployment to Libya for Operation Odyssey Lightning in 2016. He
completed his enlistment in 2018 and enrolled in college with hopes
of becoming a police officer.
Nef collapsed in 2018 and went through five major surgeries,
including the amputation of his left leg above the knee. His
collapse had been caused by the rupturing of his aorta from
untreated hypertension, PTSD and other non-combat trauma related to
his military service.

with numerous awards, including a Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal,
National Defense Service Medal, Global War on Terrorism
