Sergeant Cala joined the military out of California in February 2002, with the desire to serve his country and obtain an education. Only one day after being honorably discharged from active duty on November 28, 2011, Sgt. Cala joined the National Guard. He served in the Florida National Guard, and is presently involved with the Washington National Guard.
Sergeant Cala was deployed three times to Iraq, serving his country for nearly a decade. During his deployments, he was injured after being struck by an improvised explosive device (IED), his Stryker was hit head on by a rocket propelled grenade (RPG) during a security night patrol, and he experienced the loss of fellow soldiers and good friends. In addition to sustaining a right leg injury, Sgt. Cala has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a traumatic brain injury, hearing loss, arthritis, tinnitus and asthma.
“Apex AC & Refrigeration partnered with Homes for Heroes originally to help veterans and their families in our community,” Patrick Jennings, Apex AC service manager, stated. “We didn’t expect HFH to embed in our business the way it has and boost us to the next level in veterans’ affairs. We now have 3 employees and 2 branches of the U.S. Military working for us and we are enthusiastically looking for more veterans in our employment ads. Staff Sergeant Anthony Cala and his family have been through the worst of times and seeing how excited they were entering the new home for the first time brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart. We strive here at Apex AC to MAKE YOU SMILE and that day the smiles were abundant. Thank you Homes for Heroes, and thank you York for giving us the opportunity to assist in this amazing process.”
