The Tunnel to Towers Foundation announced the mortgage on the Hoke County home of fallen U.S. Army Sgt. First Class Joshua âZackâ Beale has been paid-in-full through its Gold Star Family Home Program.
SFC Beale, 32, was killed in action while conducting combat operations in Afghanistan on January 22, 2019. He enlisted in the Army in 2011, and was on his third tour in Afghanistan at the time of his death.
SFC Beale left behind his wife, Lindsey, and their two children, Leah and Hannah.
The mortgage payoff is part of the Foundationâs second annual Season of Hope, during which it will deliver 36 mortgage-free homes between Thanksgiving and New Yearâs Eve.
