ABERDEEN, N.C. (WTVD) U.S. Army Sergeant First Class Richard Stayskal and his family were surprised with hundreds of notes and drawings stapled to their Aberdeen home that s currently under construction. I don t, usually, get too emotional about a lot of stuff, but you know, it s something special when people across the country are reaching out to you, Stayskal said.
The notes were collected from the surrounding Moore County area and across the country.
This week will mark a year since Operation FINALLY HOME announced that the Stayskals would be receiving the mortgage-free home; it ll also be one year since the Green Beret helped get the Stayskal Act signed into law by President Trump.
