Corporal Jensen, a combat medic on his first military deployment, lost both of his legs and suffered a severe arm injury including irreversible nerve damage to his left arm when two one-hundred pound bombs detonated within close range in Malalah, Iraq.

"What Homes for Our Troops is doing is awesome! Giving injured military and their families the opportunity to own a home that is handicapped accessible will make the transition to civilian life that much easier," said Jensen. "I will be able to focus on my family and school ... I cannot express my gratitude for this great gift."
