Quotes from a few Attendees “The event was a lovely showmanship of all active sponsors, law enforcement and neighbors. I walked away loving the community of Lantana even more than before!” — Southern Comfort Mechanical, sponsor/resident, Laurie Fraser “Walking with a client through their design process is rewarding but this journey was sincerely special. Great relationships have been formed through this process and it’s been exciting to watch Johnnie’s home come to fruition.” — Décor to Your Door, sponsor/friend, Christine Blythe “It was so touching to see Johnnie, who had served and sacrificed so much for our great country to be recognized the way he was but to also see the outpouring of love and support from a grateful community and country.” — Windows by Will, Neighbor, Will Davis “I truly understand what people mean when they say “I have no words”. Family, old and new friends, a magnificent new home and the smile that never left my brother’s face… it truly was Christmas as I’ve ever experienced it!” — Sister, Brandi Yellock Witte “It was heart-warming to watch the entire Lantana community rally around Johnnie to welcome him HOME. His home was literally created from the love and generosity of the Lantana community. Instead of making this day solely about his sacrifice for our country, in true Johnnie-fashion, he took the time to thank the numerous community members who helped create his house into a home. Just another reason why we all love SSgt Yellock! Eyes front Lantana!” —Adkins Elementary, Erin Vennell
