The Company’s Built to Honor program celebrates
its 10th year of providing mortgage-free homes to deserving
veterans
From getting the surprise of a lifetime, to
seeing shovels in the ground, U.S. Air Force Master Sergeant Paulus
Obey and his family are one step closer to having a home they can
call their own through PulteGroup’s Built to Honor® program. The
Obey family recently took part in a groundbreaking ceremony for
their new, mortgage-free home at Pulte Homes’ Thornton Farms West
community in Dexter, Michigan.

Master Sergeant Obey and his wife Janel were escorted to the
site of their future home by the Rolling Thunder motorcyclists and
Patriot Guard Riders. They were met by a crowd of 150 well-wishers,
including PulteGroup employees and trade partners, the Washtenaw
County Sherriff’s office, organizers of Warriors and Caregivers
United, and community members.
“It is truly an honor and privilege to be able to build this
home for Master Sergeant Obey and his family,” said Kevin
Christofferson, president of PulteGroup’s Michigan division. “We
are excited to welcome them to the Thornton Farms West community
where they can plant their roots and come together to make memories
that will last a lifetime. We hope this home provides a stable
foundation for the family to live out their dreams.”
In March, Master Sergeant Obey was surprised with the
life-changing news that he was selected to receive a new,
mortgage-free Pulte home through Built to Honor, which provides the
gift of new homes to selected wounded veterans and their families
across the country. PulteGroup will construct a home that meets the
Obey family’s specific needs and desires. The new, 1,600+ square
foot single-family home will be ready to move in before the end of
the year.
PulteGroup is proud to partner with Building Homes for Heroes®,
a national non-profit organization devoted to bringing renewed hope
and service to injured veterans, to help build the Obey family’s
home. This will be the third home awarded in Michigan through the
Built to Honor program, which was launched in 2013 to recognize and
thank returning military personnel who have been injured during
their term of service. Over the past 10 years, the company has
delivered 76 new-construction homes to veterans nationwide.
U.S. Air Force Master Sergeant Paulus Obey
Master Sergeant Obey joined the military in 1986 and served for
over 18 years. During his time of service, he was deployed to Qatar
and Uzbekistan where he flew as an Aircrew Loadmaster, responsible
for getting troops and supplies to areas of combat, and taking part
in missions into Iraq, Kuwait, Afghanistan, Yemen and Africa.
Master Sergeant Obey and his crew often received enemy fire
during takeoffs and landings into dangerous combat zones. After
flying over 20 combat missions and experiencing multiple episodes
of being fired upon, Master Sergeant Obey was diagnosed with
post-traumatic stress disorder and was honorably discharged in
2004.
For his service, Master Sergeant Obey was awarded The Air Medal,
which is given for single acts of heroism or meritorious
achievements while participating in aerial flight and foreign
military personnel in actual combat in support of operations. He
has also received several other medals, awards and ribbons for his
valor and service.
