A paralyzed Hillsdale Marine was given the keys to a new home Monday that was made possible by volunteers who aid war veterans across the country.
Marine Cpl. Visnu Gonzalez became paralyzed from the chest down five years ago when he was struck by a sniper's bullet in Iraq. Homes For Our Troops, a national nonprofit organization, stepped in to build Gonzales and his mother a new home, hoping that would help ease the burden.
Homes For Our Troops has built 44 homes for wounded veterans across the country.
