personnel across the country
In its 10th year of providing mortgage-free homes to deserving
veterans, national homebuilder PulteGroup has dedicated a new home
to U.S. Army Sergeant First Class Lucio Gaytan in Southwest
Florida. After being led by a special motorcade procession through
their new neighborhood, the Gaytan family received a warm welcome
to their new mortgage-free Pulte home in the Sapphire Point at
Lakewood Ranch community. The home was donated to SFC Gaytan
through PulteGroup’s Built to Honor® program, which recognizes and
thanks military personnel who have been injured during their
service.

“Lucio has given so much of himself to this country and we are
proud to honor him,” said Josh Graeve, president of PulteGroup’s
Southwest Florida Division. “We hope this home creates a lifetime
of new and happy memories for Lucio and his family.”
Attended by more than 250 guests, including PulteGroup employees
and trade partners, Lakewood Ranch community representatives, state
and local builder representatives and dignitaries, and neighbors,
the dedication ceremony event marked the completion of the Gaytan’s
four-bedroom, three-bath home. To the family’s surprise, the home
was fully furnished, complete with a Star Wars-themed bedroom for
their son, and a princess-themed nursery for their daughter.
“I stand before you as humble as I can be and grateful and
thankful for my family,” SFC Gaytan said before the ribbon cutting
for his home. “This is a great honor. A great weight from my
shoulders has come off knowing that my family is going to be OK.
Allowing us to do this is like a reset so we can start moving
forward."
Since launching Built to Honor in 2013, PulteGroup has donated
77 mortgage-free homes to veterans and their families, totaling
more than $35 million in value. Recipients are identified through
partnerships with other organizations serving military veterans.
For the Gaytan home, PulteGroup worked with Building Homes for
Heroes®, a national non-profit organization devoted to bringing
renewed hope and service to injured veterans.
“Our Built to Honor program is a way for us to show our
gratitude to the heroes who have given so much in service to our
nation,” said PulteGroup President and CEO Ryan Marshall. “This
home would not be possible without the tremendous efforts and
dedication of our entire Southwest Florida team, and the generous
support of our trade partners and suppliers.”
U.S. Army Sergeant First Class Lucio Gaytan
Army Sergeant First Class Lucio Gaytan joined the military in
1996 and served for more than two decades. While training for a
deployment to Afghanistan in 2005, he was injured during a
parachute jump and sustained injuries to his neck and spine from a
severe landing fall. Despite his injuries, he completed his
deployment overseas and continued to serve until he was physically
unable. After being transferred to the Warrior Transition
Battalion, he medically retired in 2018.
For his service to his country, SFC Gaytan has been awarded
several military honors, including the Bronze Star Medal,
Afghanistan Campaign Medal w/ 4 Campaign Stars, Defense Meritorious
Service Medal, National Defense Service Medal, and the Global War
on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal.
SFC Gaytan has undergone many medical procedures to help with
his injuries, but still suffers from chronic pain and a traumatic
brain injury (TBI), hearing loss and tinnitus. Despite his
injuries, SFC Gaytan is a participant in adaptive sports, such as
wheelchair basketball, wheelchair football, and has even taken part
in the Department of Defense (DoD) Warrior Games for Team
