SAN ANTONIO – Work has finally begun to restore the home of 94-year-old Alfred Guerra, who earned the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart during World War II while fighting in the Pacific.
After that, however, Roman said the plans initially stalled due to the pandemic.
But since then, he said Guerra’s home now has a new roof, the interior was gutted in advance of plumbing and electrical work is still to come.
“It’s the least we can do is make sure that he has a comfortable home to live in,” Roman said.

Richmondâs Verde Elementary unveiled a vibrant new mural this month with the inspirational title, âReaching for the Stars.â Although, due to the pandemic, the students didnât have a hand in painting it, they did play a major role in its conception before transitioning to remote schooling.
The mural, which adorns the exterior front entrance to the school, was made possible through a $7,200 Neighborhood Public Art Grant from the Richmond Arts & Culture Commission. Work kicked off in January 2020 and the project was completed earlier this month.
âIt’s this idea that they’re working with students to reach their maximum potential,â said Yvonne Rogers about the muralâs theme. Rogers works as an unconditional education coach from the Seneca Family of Agencies, which partners with Verde on student support.
