A Norwalk Vietnam War Veteran received free home repairs Saturday, thanks to two local organizations.

House of Heroes Connecticut and members of Knights of Columbus Bishop Fenwick Assembly partnered to make repairs to Willie Jones' home.

Volunteers updated Jones' front porch and rear deck, plus installed a handrail and an interior grab bar.

They tell us it was an honor to assist Jones.

House of Heroes honors military and public safety veterans and their surviving spouses by providing free home repairs that focus on safety and accessibility. Since they were founded, they have helped over 250 veterans.

The nonprofit also provided free repairs to veterans in Guilford and Stamford Saturday.

On Monday, House of Heroes and Haven Beer Company in Hamden will hold a Memorial Day ceremony to honor 103 Hamden residents who made the ultimate sacrifice.
