Welcome Home Zach

Zach Roberton and his family were recently guests of Operation Welcome Homes of Door County. Operation Welcome Homes provides Iraqi and Afghan U. S. soldier vets and their families with free vacations with their family.

After recently purchasing a vacation home in Door County, Don and Barbara Rubin realized how much of the time homes like theirs remain vacant. They envisioned a plan where “dormant” space in condos, time-shares and even commercial lodging facilities could be donated to uplift the morale of returning soldiers and their families.

“It’s a way for those of us who are more fortunate to repay them for their service to us all,” says Rubin. “Now we are hoping to see this vision expand. We plan to begin in Door County, developing a model that can be implemented coast to coast.”
