OMAHA — The scene was seared into John Folsom’s mind.

The patient’s mom was at his bedside, holding her son’s hand. […] By Cindy Gonzalez, Nebraska Examiner.
It was dedication day for the Dunham House, a new assisted living facility for veterans hurt in combat.
The Dunham house is not yet finished, but the nonprofit said the young veterans who will live here went to combat after 9/11 and said Friday was the day to do it.
A dedication ceremony is set for Friday, Sept. 11, for a new facility in Omaha connected to the events that followed the Sept. 11 attacks.
Wounded Warriors Family Support is hosting a lunch for the construction crews working on Dunham House as a way to express gratitude for their dedication, craftsmanship, and hard work on the project.
