USMC CPL Melroy Cort was in high school on September 11, 2001. Motivated by the attack on America, he enlisted in the Marine Corps in 2004.
CPL Cort was four months into his first deployment to Iraq when he was severely injured by an IED on December 7, 2005 - he lost both of his legs above the knee and experienced a loss of motion in his right thumb.
In May of 2018, the Cort’s family home was damaged in an electrical fire. CPL Cort, his wife, Samantha, and their ten children have been living in hotels and with family since.
The Tunnel to Towers Foundation has teamed up with A Soldier’s Journey Home to build CPL Cort a smart home in Etna, OH.
The Cort family received their home in June, 2020.
