Triple-amputee Marine Gets Keys to 'Smart Home' -- and New Life
By Good News Network Thursday, September 13, 2012
Afghanistan war veteran Cpl. Juan Dominguez has a new "smart home" adapted to his combat injuries, thanks to money raised by actor Gary Sinise and the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
The home, which contains an elevator, self-flushing toilets, lighting controlled with an iPad, and easy-open cabinets and doors, will give him and his wife a "second chance at life."
By year's end, the Siller foundation, with Sinise's help, will have funded 20 homes for U.S. military personnel grievously wounded in war.

I think there needs to be a change of consciousness with the news ... to try to seek a higher ground. Why can't it be more representative of the way the world really is? I think we don't know what the bombardment of crime and violence does to our minds, I think we're in denial about it.
