This month we are doing a Help Us… Help Tulsa for the first Oklahoma build project for Operation FINALLY HOME. The project will benefit Staff Sgt. Ronny D. Sweger and his family, which includes wife Claudia and triplet boys Briggs, Brett and Brooks.
Operation FINALLY HOME is a national nonprofit organization that brings together home builders, building suppliers and supporters. Their mission is to provide custom-built, mortgage-free homes to wounded, ill and injured veterans, the widows of the fallen, and their families, creating a solid foundation to help them move forward in their lives.
A Well Deserving Family
U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Ronny D. Sweger joined the Oklahoma National Guard in March 1993. Sweger had multiple deployments to Afghanistan, Iraq and Africa from 2001 to 2004. He incurred a number of injuries as a result of his seven deployments including PTSD, traumatic brain injury, loss of field vision and migraines. Sweger was eventually sent to the Medical Board for evaluation and medically retired from the military in December 2009.
