The official groundbreaking ceremony for Hero Home Six took place at Renaissance Park in Raleigh on Thursday, August 8 with Nathan Rimpf, his family, local dignitaries and representatives from Chesapeake Homes, Wakefield Development, HBA Raleigh/Wake County, Operation:  Coming Home, HPW, ECU, the USO and friends, family and neighborhood supporters in attendance.

The ceremony was largely ceremonious, as construction is well underway on Nathan Rimpf’s Hero Home Six in Renaissance Park.	Nathan, his mother, his father, several family members, and representatives of the community, building company, and organizing organizations all grabbed shovels to mark the occasion.	A sign marks the lot where Nathan’s home is being built in Renaissance Park.  Soon vendors, donators and supporters names will be added to the sign as the list grows with each company & individual choosing to get involved.
