"It hits home for me," conveyed Olivia, the daughter of retired SFC Pedro Olvera. Helping a Hero began building homes in North Carolina last November and their goal is to build 10. "We've already built five," she emphasized. Olivia's favorite part of the process is seeing the soldiers active in build- ing the home, choosing the lighting fixtures and looking at the blueprint. "I love being able to spend time with the families. Getting to know them and their personalities is really awe- some! I have had opportunities to go around town and meet with builders and companies that can offer their supplies. It's really rewarding to have the Fayetteville community involved in this process." Olivia's father was part of the ini- tial group of soldiers from the Global Response Force to deploy from Fort Bragg on September 11, 2001. "I was in the eighth grade and my teacher turned the television on. We saw the second plane hit the Twin Towers. My mother checked my brother and I out of school. Minutes later, we were on base receiving updates. Next thing I knew, we were at Green Ramp say- ing goodbye," she recalled with tears in her eyes. SFC Olvera was stationed at Bragg with the 82nd Airborne as a Jumpmaster. He served our country on four deployments: one to Iraq and three to Afghanistan. "It has been wonderful for us to have the ability to partner with Olivia on this project. She is so inspiring. As a daughter of a soldier, she was the perfect person to lead our North Caro- lina effort. Her passion for our heroes and her commitment to their success in life is contagious. It is especially inspiring to see the way the veterans respond to that enthusiasm," said Iler proudly. Olvera is looking forward to representing her home state at the Miss USA pageant in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on June 8.
