The staff at Leonard Contracting is dedicated to improving the lives of others, and frequently donates its time and talents to volunteer efforts that benefit nonprofit organizations and individuals in need. One such organization is Homes for Our Troops, a group that builds mortgage-free, specially adapted homes for post-9/11 severely injured veterans.
On Easter Sunday, 2006, U.S. Army CPL Joshua Stein was wounded after an IED tore through the engine of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle he was driving in Taji, Iraq. He was left a double-amputee with severe arm injuries by the blast, after which he was airlifted to Balad, Iraq; Landstuhl, Germany; and finally San Antonio, Texas for medical treatment. He awoke from a coma at Brooke Army Medical Center one month after the blast.
Leonard Contracting provided hundreds of employee man-hours, and organized volunteer crews and donors to build a home for CPL Stein and his family in San Antonio, at no cost to Homes for Our Troops. CPL Stein, his wife and their two children moved into their new home in December, 2010.
