Chesapeake Homes North Carolina and Wakefield Development To Build Free Home for First Lieutenant Nathan Rimpf

Chesapeake Homes' Design Team shows Nathan the plan.

Just one year ago this coming July 8, Nathan Rimpf’s life changed. While serving in eastern Afghanistan as part of the 2nd Battalion 16th Infantry as a platoon leader, Nathan stepped on a mine severely damaging both of his legs resulting in amputations. Little did he realize then that he would be able to walk. But he can walk and he achieves success through continuing recovery and therapy at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. And little did Nathan realize he would be given an opportunity to become a homeowner. Through Operation Coming Home, Nathan Rimpf was selected to be the recipient of a new home fabricated and custom built to accommodate his life and his disability. Chesapeake Homes and Wakefield Development are generously donating the land and home at Renaissance Park for Nathan, thereby turning a horrible circumstance into a new beginning and opportunity for this special veteran. On June 3, 2013, Nathan, along with his mother and father, met with representatives of Chesapeake Homes to look at the plans for his new home, and to actually see the lot where his new home will be built. It was an emotionally rewarding day – for Nathan, his parents, and the staff of Chesapeake Homes and Wakefield Development.
