RINCON, Ga. () — A nationwide non-profit is helping one army veteran his life new life in Rincon with a brand-new home fully equipped for a wounded warrior.

“One thing I can say is I just felt loved today,” said Army Sergeant Matt Watters.

Dozens of supporters gathered Saturday to welcome Watters to his new home, provided by Homes For Our Troops.

“I struggled with thinking I deserved this,” said Watters. “Then [I] come to the realization that I’m not going to be at my best for the rest of my life. I’m going to have these injuries that sneak up and bite me whenever they want.”

Watters served in Iraq and Afghanistan before getting an injury that cost him the lower half of one of his legs.  Head of HFOT says providing him a place stay free of charge was the least they could do to try and pay him back.

“To see these men and women get the keys to a home where it’s not a struggle to get out of bed in the morning, go to the bathroom brush your teeth take a shower go to work… It’s just extremely rewarding,” said Bill Ivey executive director of HFOT.

The non-profit works to set up veterans’ homes with accessibility features tailored specifically to whatever disability they may have. Watters’ features roll-in showers, large hallways, shelves that can be pulled down, a smooth sidewalk surrounding the home for any quick trips to the yard in a wheelchair or on crutches – and more.

“Not having stairs in a home is going to be amazing for me,” said Watters.

Watters tells News 3 he and his family will start moving boxes into their new place right after the ceremony held in Watters’ honor. He says he’s already envisioning the memories they’ll make in their new home.

“Being out in the country a little bit, we’ve got some fruit trees we’re going to plant and a garden. Let the dog run around, so yeah. I’m really looking forward to all of that.”

Ivey says their organization will stick around as a resource for the family long after they hand the keys over. He says they like to serve all their veterans for life.
