PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. â Thirteen years ago on this day, Marine Lance Corporal Leonard Chong was on patrol in a convoy in Iraq when his vehicle stuck an improvised explosive device (IED) ending his military career.
The Purple Heart recipient was back in a convoy Thursday for another monumental moment as he received the keys to a mortgage-free home. And it was opening up to his case manager during recovery that made it possible.
The Marine Corps paid Navistar about $30,000 more than the typical price for an armored vehicle suspension system, spending almost $120 million extra for that component, according to the complaint.
