Notes of Love Make Lasting Impact
For many, serving their country is a calling – and every day, servicemembers make great sacrifices to follow that calling. On this Veterans Day and always, we want to honor all veterans for their devotion and service to our country. Join us in the video to see how the incredible partnership with Building Homes for Heroes and The Villages High School Construction Management Academy brings security and peace of mind to our deserving heroes.
The Notes of Love Ceremony
Notes of Love is a unique and heartfelt tradition central to every Building Homes for Heroes project. Before the final finishing touches are applied, friends, family, students, and community members gather to write personal messages of appreciation, encouragement, and hope directly onto the walls and structural beams of the home. The notes, ranging from heartfelt thank-yous and scribbled masterpieces by children, to profound messages of support transform a construction site into a home of gratitude. While the notes may eventually be covered by drywall and paint, the impact they leave is lasting. Veterans and their families walk through rooms lined with this lasting legacy of love, knowing their new mortgage-free home is built on a foundation of heartfelt community support. This ceremony serves as a powerful reminder that they are surrounded by a community that honors their service and sacrifices.
Honoring Veterans Day
Supporting initiatives like Building Homes for Heroes and participating in traditions like “Notes of Love” show how deeply we appreciate the men, women, and families who have served our country. The two homes built through this recent collaboration are shining examples of this kindness and community spirit.
