Mungo Homes Completes Hero Home for Operation: Coming HomeNovember 11, 2025

Mungo Homes is proud to announce the successful completion of its first Hero Home as part of Operation: Coming Home, an initiative dedicated to building and donating homes to local service members who have been severely wounded. In partnership with the Home Builders Association of Raleigh-Wake County and the United States Veterans Corps, Mungo Homes constructed a fully customized home for U.S. Army Green Beret SFC Eddie Kim and his wife, Valetina.

Located in Renaissance at White Oak in Garner, NC, the home was designed to meet SFC Kim’s unique needs following injuries sustained during a training event at Fort Bragg in December 2024. This home was 100% donated to the Kim family as a small token of gratitude for their service and sacrifice.

About the Journey
The journey began on February 25, 2025, when SFC Kim and his wife received the surprise announcement of their new home during a reveal at a VA hospital in Richmond, Virginia. In April, the couple visited the Mungo Homes Design Center, working with Design Coordinator Kasumi Lehman to select cabinets, countertops, flooring, and lighting to make the home truly theirs.

Construction kicked off in mid-June, with milestone events celebrating the Kim family and the collaborative efforts of Mungo Homes, the U.S. Veterans Corps, and the HBA of Raleigh-Wake County. The project culminated in a heartfelt key presentation on Veteran’s Day, November 11, marking a fitting tribute to SFC Kim’s service.
