Welcome Home to a Retired Marine Corps Staff Sergeant

Posted on March 10, 2022October 12, 2022

Military Warriors Support Foundation and PulteGroup’s Built to Honor program Awards a U.S. Marine Corps Veteran a Mortgage-free Home


On January 27, 2022, Military Warriors Support Foundation held a special dedication ceremony. A United States Marine Corps Veteran, Jason Roberts, was presented with the keys to his recently constructed home in Summerville, SC. This mortgage-free home was built in partnership with the Built to Honor program by national homebuilder PulteGroup.

Jason Roberts and his wife Christina, the awardees, were born in Goose Creek, SC, and first met in high school. Jason Roberts served in the U.S. Marine Corps as a Staff Sergeant.

He is a decorated soldier with many awards, including Purple Heart with Oak Leaf Cluster, Combat Action Ribbon with Gold Star, Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster, and Afghanistan Campaign Medal with Campaign Star.

Growing up, he always had a desire to follow the example of his father and join the armed forces to serve his country. Roberts entered the U.S. Marine Corps in January 2021, shortly after his high school graduation.

After a decade of service in the Marine Corps, Roberts was deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, being assigned to Marine Special Operations Command (MARSOC) and 2nd Marine Raider Battalion (MRB) as a Critical Skills Operator (CSO).


On August 16, 2009, a command-detonated IED struck Roberts’ Humvee after he had conducted a Direct-Action Operation in Herat, Afghanistan. Two of the six soldiers died from the attack while Roberts suffered a collapsed lung, a broken back, a shoulder injury and lost his right leg below the knee.

Although he was medically retired in October 2011, Roberts remained serving his country through government contracts assisting various Special Operations.

Jason and Christina have been traveling across the country in their RV and sharing their journey online as they have visited national parks and military memorials.

The high school sweethearts are thrilled to finally settle and make Charleston their home with their brand-new mortgage-free home.


We are grateful to PulteGroup for their generosity and collaboration to make this extraordinary gift happen. Ever since its formation, PulteGroup’s Built to Honor program has awarded 65 mortgage-free homes to Veterans and Gold Star Families in our nation. This has been one of many ways they have expressed their gratitude to Heroes for their patriotism and sacrifice.

We also thank our awardee, Jason Roberts, for his unrelenting service to the country within and beyond the boundaries of the armed forces.
