Disabled Apopka Marine given new home

APOPKA, Fla. — Saturday marked a big day for an Apopka Marine and his wife.

The couple was given a new, mortgage-free home as part of the Home At Last program, which builds special homes for disabled veterans.

The program helps veterans wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Marine Sgt. Stephen Tovet and his wife, Krystina Tovet, were given the handicap-friendly home in Oakland.

A flag raising ceremony was held at a church as they were given the keys.
