Private First Class Taylor was critically injured during the Operation Iraqi Freedom invasion when his crew's vehicle came under mortar attack, causing it to roll over into a canal and trap PFC Taylor under it. Rescued but left with a crushed leg, today Taylor lives with nerve damage, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, traumatic brain injury and hearing loss.

During Project Homeward Bound, a 2,300-square-foot, ranch-style house was completely transformed into a dream home for the Taylors, complete with Kinetico water purification systems. Kinetico worked with Clearwater Systems, its Jacksonville-based water treatment dealership, to install a S150 Kinetico Premier Series Water Softener, Kinetico K1100 Upflow Dechlorinator and Kinetico K5 Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Station with QuickFlo Tank and designer faucet valued at more than $6,000.

"Kinetico has a long-standing commitment of supporting our local communities and we proudly salute PFC Taylor and his family for their sacrifices and service to our country," said Kinetico President and CEO Toby Thomas. "As the family settles in their new home, we are proud that our Kinetico systems will help improve the water quality in their lives for years to come."
