Work underway to restore home of 94-year-old war hero ‘Mission of mercy’ on behalf of Alfred Guerra, says his daughter Tags: SAN ANTONIO – Work has finally begun to restore the home of 94-year-old Alfred Guerra, who earned the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart during World War II while fighting in the Pacific. After that, however, Roman said the plans initially stalled due to the pandemic. But since then, he said Guerra’s home now has a new roof, the interior was gutted in advance of plumbing and electrical work is still to come. “It’s the least we can do is make sure that he has a comfortable home to live in,” Roman said.
