When the father of a wounded soldier Lance Corporal Steven Schultz first asked builder Dan Wallrath if he would remodel their two-story home for more accessibility, Dan’s knee jerk response was that his company only built new custom homes. However, a father’s heart is not easily dissuaded. He talked with Dan about his son’s injuries and their home’s inaccessibility for someone with Steven’s physical challenges. A few photos and emotion-filled minutes later, Dan knew he had to do something to help. “I took this to the Bay Area Builder’s Association Board of Directors and immediately everyone got really excited about it. All the suppliers and subs, everybody said ‘yes, let’s do it.’ No one hesitated,” notes Dan.

The year was 2005 and that project marked the beginning of what Dan describes as “the incredible opportunity” to give these men back their lives. (see the full story in June/July 2007 issue of The Builders Journal)

"The Bay Area Builders Association are American BloodBrothers of the highest order. Always ready, willing, able and enthused when it comes time to help our great American military hero warriors in time of need, I am proud to work hand in hand with these outstanding, generous, caring families in showing our deepest appreciation for the incredible sacrifices made by our troops."

Ted Nugent and family

“Our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines lay their lives on the line to protect our freedoms, defend democracy and keep us safe in our homes. When they are injured on our behalf, it is fitting that their communities band together in providing them homes of their own. Whether through renovations that remove obstacles to a new disability or the gift of an entire home, members of the Bay Area Builders Association have shown the depth of their character by helping our wounded warriors rebuild their lives. I encourage communities across Texas and throughout our nation to follow their example of honoring those who have sacrificed in the preservation of our cherished freedoms.”

Gov. Rick Perry
