Interstate Partners with Gary Sinise Foundation to Move Military Hero and His Family into Their Forever Home

Springfield, Va. December 9 – Interstate Moving and Storage is honored to assist U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Dennet Oregon and his family as they move to their new Murietta, California, adapted smart home provided by the Gary Sinise Foundation, which officially dedicated the brand new four bed, three bath in October 2024.

“At Interstate, we take pride in every opportunity to assist our military service members,” said Bud Morrissette, CEO and Group President. “We are excited to partner with the Gary Sinise Foundation to help Sgt. Oregon and his family reach their forever home securely.”

Sgt. Oregon, who lost both legs serving in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, currently lives in Derwood, Maryland, close to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

“I’ll finally be able to use my wheelchair,” said Sgt. Oregon. “Since I left Walter Reed, everywhere I’ve lived, I haven’t been able to use my wheelchair, and there were definitely days I needed to but couldn’t. I just forced my legs on. I’m going to actually use my wheelchair in my new home. That alone is going to make a huge difference.”

Interstate began packing the family’s belongings on Friday, November 29. Their new home in California was custom-built by the Gary Sinise Foundation, which provides specially adapted smart homes and home modifications to our nation’s severely wounded heroes through its R.I.S.E. (restoring independence, supporting empowerment) program.

“We have more than what we need in this home, and we are very grateful for it,” said Sgt: Oregon’s wife, Katherine.
