Homes For Our Troops Announces 'Build Brigade' for its Third Pennsylvania Home

Ross Township, PA (PRWEB) November 15, 2007 -- Homes For Our Troops, a non-profit organization that provides specially adapted homes for severely wounded veterans, announced today that it will launch a "Build Brigade" event for a specially adapted home building project for SPC James Fair.

SPC Fair sustained life-altering injury due to a roadside bomb. The explosion in November 2003 left the Coraopolis soldier completely blind and took both of his hands. The blast also sent shrapnel throughout James' body, severely injuring his right leg and causing a traumatic brain injury.

James's home is the third project that Homes For Our Troops has undertaken in Pennsylvania. Homes For Our Troops has completed 17 projects through out the US and has 20 additional projects in various stages of construction.

Build Brigade:

On November 15, 16, 17 we will be hosting a marathon build event (that we call a "Build Brigade") at the site of James's project located at 112 Oesterle Lane, Ross Township), Pittsburgh, PA. Beginning at 8:00 AM, our goal for the 3 day event will be to erect James's home by completing the framing, roofing, windows, doors and siding with the help of many volunteers. Basically we will be going from floor to a standing structure in 3 days! Please come join us for this event!

Kirt Rebello, VP/Chief Project Officer for Homes For Our Troops, and local volunteers in the community of Pittsburgh, would like to extend an invitation to your organization to join this event with SPC Fair.

Motion Sensor Home Security Cameras
Many security cameras do not record well in the dark. This implies that a slinky presence can get away with any deed as long as the dark provides a shield. This is where a security camera with motion sensor comes in. The motion sensor triggers an automatic response as soon as it picks up a movement in its vicinity. Some of these cameras come equipped with floodlights that power up as soon as a motion is registered, flooding the area with light and catching the culprit in the act. This is further enhanced by the fact that a security camera with motion sensor often offers a connection to a TV or computer monitor. As soon as the sensor is triggered, images of the perimeter can be captured immediately.
