Foundation building ‘smart home’ for triple-amputee veteran and his family

Loading

Tigard resident Wade Mitcheltree is looking forward to living in his new house, now under construction on Inez Street.

But for Mitcheltree, life is quite a bit different than it is for most people, and that means the house being built for him and his family will be a little different as well.

Mitcheltree served his country in the U.S. Army, and he bled for it. While on a tour of duty in southern Afghanistan, near Kandahar, in August 2012, he stepped on an improvised explosive device buried in the ground.
