MUNCIE, Ind. (WISH) John Holaday, a 77-year-old Vietnam veteran who lived without power and water for more than a year, has a new home.
Volunteers led by students from the Muncie Area Career Center, the Delaware County Veteran’s Service Office and some of the city’s contractors, like Muncie Masonry and Concrete, rebuilt his house from the ground up.
Holaday shared his gratitude to everyone involved in an emotional interview on Tuesday.
“It’s hard to put into words,” Holaday said. “It’s a blessing everybody went that extra mile for me.”
He shared the moment with family members, who were able to reunite with him for the first time in years.

MUNCIE, Ind. Vietnam combat veteran John Holaday had waited 67 days to see his new home, and once he pulled into the driveway, which was lined with friends and neighbors on Tuesday afternoon, he couldn t hold back the tears.
The crowd gave the 77-year-old words of encouragement as he walked to his front door, some saying, Welcome home, John, or thanking him for his service.
Holding him steady, Nate Jones, the Delaware County Veterans Affairs officer, asked, Ready to do this, John? We ve been waiting for a while right?
