Sunday: "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" in Farmville, VA

Ty Pennington brought his extreme home makeover to central Virginia to help one of our Virginia National Guard heroes who is currently deployed to Iraq. The show will broadcast Sunday night. As reported in the Richmond Times-Dispatch:
The episode of ABC television's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" featuring a Farmville-area family will air tomorrow night.

The television show features volunteers working around the clock to build a house in a week that would usually take months to construct.

In December, volunteers built a home for Spec. Michael Lucas, 37, a Virginia National Guardsmen, his wife, Jean, 33, and their two sons, Michael Henry, 11, and Joseph, 7.
They recently build a house for an Operation Iraqi Freedom Marine, a wounded warrior who has lost a leg in combat. It is good to see these guys receive some recognition, and good to see them reap the benefits of this show. Tune in Sunday night to see the Lucas family's new home.
