My name is Robert Thomas.  I was a corporal in the US Army infantry. I was a 11th Charlie Infantryman.  I served from 1987 to 1995. I have somewhat of a disability in my legs and you know, stepping in and out of the tub it was getting slippery. The tub was old. There was nothing to grab onto, and the underflooring was kind of getting a little weak and soggy. So we were afraid that the tub was just going to fall through the floor at some point. That was our main issue, it started to get to a point where it was getting a little bit dangerous for my wife and me. I mean, the shower for one thing, it's it's a step in. There's no real step over or anything like that. And the bottom of the shower base is coated with a non-slip material. So, that just makes me feel really good. It also has a bench to sit on, you know, to wash feet and stuff, so I don't feel like I'm losing my balance sometimes. And has a grab bar to hold on to. So, it's just going to be much safer all around. and they redid the flooring underneath and replaced some of the 2x4s that were under there and the subfloor. So, that's going to make our lives way better just just that right there, you know, and the shower is going to be much safer.

Just want to say that the crew's been fantastic. Christian's been fabulous. He's doing a great job. He's getting it done really quickly, and we're just excited to see what happens when it's done. Oh, wow. Hey, look at that. I think it makes the whole room look bigger. I know. This doesn't even look like the same bathroom, does it? Holy moly. It's pretty big, huh? Yeah. I didn't think it was going to be this big. Y'all did an awesome job. Yeah, it looks fantastic. Awesome job. Very happy. Very nice. But this is fantastic, and we're so grateful to the Purple Heart Foundation and Zintex for doing this for us. We're just super grateful and happy about this.
