Operation Finally Home and Lennar, one of the nation’s leading homebuilders, today announced that U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Brian Cassidy and his family received the keys to a new Lennar home at Newcut Meadows in Inman, South Carolina on Thursday, December 8, during a dedication and ribbon cutting ceremony at the home. Representatives of each organization were on hand to welcome the Cassidy family to their new home, along with business partners, suppliers, donors, new neighbors, and other guests.
“On behalf of Lennar, our associates, and all of our business partners, we are delighted to provide the Cassidy family with this new home at Newcut Meadows in Inman,” said Mark Henninger, Lennar’s Coastal Carolinas Division President. “Lennar is committed to giving back to the communities in which we build, and it is an honor to partner with Operation Finally Home in this most meaningful work.”
Lennar and Operation Finally Home have teamed to build mortgage-free homes for veterans and their families across the country since 2017. The Cassidy’s home marks the 14th home Lennar has built in partnership with Operation Finally Home.
Prior to the ceremony, the Cassidy family was escorted to their new home by Rusty Carroll, Operation Finally Home president. Guests, neighbors and officials lined the street to welcome the family to the neighborhood. A short dedication ceremony and ribbon cutting followed.
U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Brian Cassidy and his family were initially surprised with the news they would be receiving the new Lennar home on June 22. The Cassidy family thought they were meeting with Operation Finally Home and Lennar representatives as the next step in the approval process, during which they were taken on a tour of Newcut Meadows. The family was surprised when they were intercepted by the Spartanburg Sheriff’s Office who escorted them to the homesite where they were met with the news that they had already been selected to receive the home. On August 22, guests left inspiring notes on the studs of the home during a Notes of Love event for the Cassidy family.
U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Brian Cassidy grew up hearing stories of his Great Uncle Raymond, a two-time Purple Heart and Silver Star recipient who served and died in the U.S. Army during World War II. Brian followed in his great uncle’s footsteps, enlisting in the U.S. Army soon after completing high school. He served his country in the Infantry for 18 years and 9 months, including six deployments. Brian completed two combat deployments to Iraq and one to Afghanistan and also served in Haiti, Sinai and Kosovo. He retired honorably from the U.S. Army in 2017.
During his 2004-2005 deployment to Iraq, Brian and his unit were on patrol in Sadr City, Baghdad. As the unit patrolled on foot, an improvised explosive device (IED) was remotely detonated, flinging Brian 15 yards through the air. Shrapnel pierced Brian’s upper body, and he suffered a traumatic brain injury upon impact as well as injuries to his back, legs and left ankle. Dazed, Brian helped to gather the wounded and evacuate the area. Several members of Brian’s unit suffered severe injuries with one fatality.
Brian carries visible and invisible scars from his nearly two decades in service to his country. He suffers from chronic arthritic joint pain, leg and ankle pain and tinnitus as well as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and migraines.
Brian has been honored with a number of awards for his service, including a Purple Heart. Other recognitions and commendations include an Afghanistan Campaign Medal with Campaign Star, eight Army Commendation Medals, seven Army Achievement Medals, six Army Good Conduct Medals, an Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, Iraqi Campaign Medal with Arrowhead, a Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal and many more.
Brian and his wife, Tracey, have been married for 23 years. Tracey worked as a canine trainer and behaviorist, a career she recently retired from after 30 years, and served as a mentor for other military wives during Brian’s military career.
Since retiring from the Army, Brian has worked as an independent contractor for the Department of Veteran’s Affairs, serving as a Veteran’s Benefits Advisor at Keesler Air Force Base. He educates fellow service members about the benefits and tools available to them. Additionally, he has earned the ASIST Master Trainer Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Certification and has previously served as a combat counselor. He hopes to continue to invest in fellow veterans through support resources and programs.
Brian has also earned certification as an RV repair technician and inspector. He and Tracey own Get Up & Go RV Inspection’s LLC, a small business focused on offering economical services and repairs for active-duty service members and veterans residing in their mobile homes. In addition to working together, the couple enjoys sports, motorcycling, yoga, canine community events, military family retreats and enjoying local festivals.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Celebrate the holidays and New Year in your brand-new Lennar home. To prepare for hosting events and welcoming family into your home, it is important to make the most of your space. Here are a few tips from the Lennar Tampa team to embrace festivity and sprinkle holiday cheer into your Lennar home.
Calling all two-story homeowners! Dress your staircase banister in garland to create a picturesque interior of your Lennar home. Everyone has a specific style for holiday décor whether it’s modern and neutral touches or traditional. Family photos are great to display during this time of year as a reminder of the true meaning of the holiday season. The outside of your home is a perfect place to string lights to catch the attention of your guests during holiday gatherings.
As the Florida weather cools down for the winter, take this opportunity to host festivities outside. This is also perfect for those who need more space for guests to socialize. Outdoor spaces can be easily customized to your needs whether you need an extra sitting area or just need a space to relax from the hustle and bustle of the holidays. All your guests need is a cup of hot cocoa to stay warm!
Many Lennar floorplans include a versatile loft or flex space that is additional to the bedroom count. Convert it into a cozy space fit for watching holiday movies. Cuddle up with your closest companions and turn on your favorite holiday classic! These spacious additions may be used as a game room, lounge, or even a “man cave”! A loft is the perfect place to escape when the family room is occupied. You can even use an extra bedroom as an overnight room for guests or as a place to hide holiday gifts.
It can be easy to get caught up on the fun of the holidays by forgetting the importance of giving. Now is the perfect time to reach out to that neighbor you haven’t had the opportunity to meet. Something simple like writing a card, baking a treat or even walking over to say hello can be meaningful! Greet your neighbor and wish them a ‘happy holidays’ this season.
