Local Retired Marine Receives Brand New Home

Reporting
Robin Rieger
FLORENCE, NJ (CBS 3) ― A local marine, who lost so much fighting for America, is now getting the Veteran's Day tribute he deserves.

Retired Marine Staff Sergeant Andrew Robinson arrived at his new home in Florence, N.J. Monday afternoon to a hero's welcome.

Robinson was left paralyzed from the waist down in 2006 from a roadside bomb in Iraq.

Construction of the 4-bedroom home was all donated by Home for Our Troops, which builds homes for injured soldiers.

He and his wife accepted keys on Monday before the crowd to their new home that caters to all of Robinson's needs.

"This house is a wonderful testament to how great the community is and how much our country loves our service members," said Robinson.

The Robinson's said they can't wait to fill their new home with children and happy memories.
