AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Santa Rita Ranch and Operation Finally Home will award a new home to Sergeant Ray Coffey, a decorated war hero.  

Who:

Sgt. Ray Coffey made ample sacrifices for American freedom. He is a decorated war hero who joined the military in 1998 and honorably served two deployments to Iraq in 2003 and 2004. During his second deployment to Iraq, Sgt. Coffey was injured and sent home to American soil after his life saving efforts. He was lucky to be alive.
