Military Branch: United States Marine Corps
Location: Oregon
Build Completion: January 2017

After graduating from Liberty High School in 2008, Corporal Jed Morgan joined the Marines in 2009. On December 17, 2011, he married Anna Morgan and, three months later, was deployed to Afghanistan. On June 21, 2011, Jed was critically injured in an IED explosion in Afghanistan. As a result, he lost both of his legs. He sustained several other injuries, including a full loss of mobility in his dominant arm. Morgan spent the next 12 weeks at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he was honored with a Purple Heart for his service. He was then transferred to San Diego, California, for additional therapy and treatment.

On January 27, 2017, Jared Allen’s Homes for Wounded Warriors and the White Heart Foundation provided a new custom-built, mortgage-free, accessible home for the Morgan family in Oregon.

Thanks to everyone who donated and participated in the home build, CPL Morgan and his family now live in a comfortable and safe home.

Special thanks to Honoring Sandrino’s Sacrifice Fund for their support and generous donation to Jared Allen’s Homes for Wounded Warriors (JAH4WW) in honor of Sgt. Alessandro Leonard Plutino.

On August 8th, 2011, Sgt. Alessandro Leonard Plutino, also known as Sandrino, was killed in action, while supporting Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. In August of 2006, he first enlisted in the United States Army from his hometown of Pitman, New Jersey. After completing the One Station Unit Training and graduating from the Basic Airborne Course in Fort Benning, Georgia, Plutino was assigned to the Ranger Assessment and Selection Program.

In February of 2007, Plutino graduated from the Ranger Assessment and Selection Program and was assigned to Company B, 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, where he served as a rifleman, grenadier, automatic rifleman, and a ranger team leader. He went on to serve three tours in Iraq and two tours in Afghanistan with the Army Rangers.

Years later, Sgt. Alessandro Leonard Plutino continues to be loved, respected, and remembered by his family, friends, and band of brothers from the Army Rangers. To help honor the many sacrifices Plutino made, his band of brothers decided to give back to the special operations community and the town he called home through the Honoring Sandrino’s Sacrifice Fund.

After breaking ground to begin building a accessible home for wounded veteran, Sgt. Colin Faust, Jared Allen and Jared Allen’s Homes for Wounded Warriors (JAH4WW) announced its latest partnership with North Central States Regional Council of Carpenters Union (NCSRCC).

The NCRCCU represents nearly 19,000 union member and their families from 28 local unions in Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin. From being on the ground with shovels in hand, to providing the best trained, most productive and safest workforce for the actual build, there is no doubt that partnering with NCSRCC was the beginning of something truly great for both parties involved.

To show his gratitude, Allen held a luncheon after the groundbreaking, where he gave a heartfelt speech, recognizing and thanking the NCSRCC for their tremendous support, commitment and hard work in helping build accessible homes for United States military veterans moving forward. The NCSRCC includes the following: Carpenters, Floorcoverers, Cement Masons, Tile Setters, Brick Layers, Electricians and Insulators through Homeco Insulators.
