The Duncan family – Jarred, Lauren, and their three young children – were the first veteran family the Our Towns, Our Heroes Foundation had the honor of serving. Jarred, a Marine Corps veteran, sustained substantial internal injuries in an IED blast while serving in Afghanistan, leaving his health and the future welfare of his family in jeopardy. 

The Duncans identified reliable housing as the most pressing need for their growing family, so in 2015, our Foundation proudly purchased them a home outside of Atlanta.
