Ben Tomlinsons Home Completed For Veterans Day

HOME DEDICATION CEREMONY FOR MARINE SERGEANT BEN TOMLINSON.


It's been 6 months since our last update on Ben Tomlinson's Smart Home. This week, Ben got the keys to his new home at a dedication ceremony fit for a hero.

Marine Sergeant Ben Tomlinson, who became a quadriplegic after a mortar attack in Afghanistan, received the iPad that will control his new Smart Home. The home was built right across from Jacksonville High School - Ben's alma mater. The ceremony to dedicate Ben's new home included a performance by the high school band, the landing by three paratroopers on the high school football field and a crowd of friends, family and supporters there to wish him well.

Flooring and tile for Ben's home were installed by Don's Carpet One Floor & Home in Birmingham, AL.
