NC: Soldier's widow gets surprise homecoming. Community honors hero's family with amazing gift

After Sgt. Andrew Harvel was killed in Afghanistan in August 2011, his widow hoped to move home from California to North Carolina to be surrounded by friends and family.

Yet two years later, she was still stuck in California.

That is until Pinecrest High School in Southern Pines, N.C., invited Krista Harvel and her two children to a military appreciation ceremony this past Friday.

As hundreds gathered to honor America’s military heroes, an Army veteran parachute team descended from the sky and landed at the high school’s football field.

In the parachutists’ hands, an amazing gift: blueprints for Krista Harvel’s new home, fully paid for, in North Carolina.

  1. Brock, FYI, something must be messed up with your fonts - I find it hard to clearly read them; they seem blurry and watery kind of...
    See what you can do about that, OK? I'm pretty sure the problem is on your end.
