| Operation FINALLY HOME was founded in 2005 as a non-partisan/non-profit organization with the mission to provide Americans the ability to honor and thank America’s wounded and disabled veterans and the widows of the fallen who have sacrificed to defend our country in the global War on Terror. Operation Finally Home provides mortgage-free homes to disabled veterans and their families.
In 2014, Henley Homes, Inc. dontated the construction of a new home for wounded veteran Ray Coffey and his family in Liberty Hills, TX. Coffey is the recipient of a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart for his service in the U.S. Marine Corps. In 2004, the convoy Coffey was commanding in Iraq was attached by an improvised explosive device (IED). The blast slammed his face into the windshield, breaking his facial bones and jaw and knocking him uncounscious. When he awoke, his unit was under heavy gunfire and many of his fellow Marines were suffering from shrapmel wounds. That's when Coffey leapt into action, drawing the fire to himself to allow the other men in his unit to move to safety. This battle and others resultiged in many long-term injuries, leaving him disabled and unable to continue in active service.
In addition to donating the construction of the Coffey's new home, Henley Homes has secured more than 200 donors for materials and specialized labor. Construction has begun on the Coffey's four-bedroom, four-bathroom home which is expected to be completed in January.
