Modern Plumbing was proud to participate in the Windermere Country Club Foundation golf charity event in 2009. The event was organized in conjunction with Building Homes for Heroes, a foundation that allows severely wounded veterans a mortgage-free home. Look at the article Associated Builders and Contractors wrote about us…
Modern Plumbing Industries has committed to help build a new home for a wounded war veteran through a Long Island New York nonprofit organization called Building Homes for Heroes.
Building Homes for Heroes provided individuals, corporations and others with an opportunity to help our severely wounded and disabled veterans and their families rebuild their lives. Many of these young men and woman are coming home badly burned, with permanent body disfigurements, missing limbs, the loss of sight or ability to walk, psychiatric conditions or paralysis. Building Homes for Heroes is committed to supporting these extraordinary men and woman, with a goal to build homes for families in dire need. We believe that it’s our responsibility to support those who have been called upon to make the ultimate personal sacrifice – to protect and safeguard our country by fighting America’s War on Terror.
Windermere County Club Foundation held a charity golf event at Windermere County Club on April 28, 2009. Organized in conjunction with Building Homes for Heroes, the event was designed to help build a mortgage-free home for Staff Sergeant William Castillo, his wife Katherine and their 4 children.
While on a rescue mission for other Marines, Staff Sergeant Castillo’s vehicle was struck by an IED. Sgt. Castillo was blown out of the vehicle but continued to fight. In the middle of the firefight he fought to get back to the Humvee to save his two buddies still in the vehicle. During the battle Sgt. Castillo was shot 5 times, including twice in the chest, once in the right leg, and once on the top of his head. Once he made his way back to the vehicle another round struck him under the chin and excited out his mouth. As he reach the vehicle and RPG struck the Humvee and severed his left leg above the knee. Sgt. Castillo was the only survivor.
