A local marine veteran now has a new roof, thanks to the Veterans Miracles Center of Erie.

The V.M.C.E. looks to help veterans once they return home. They found out that a marine veteran needed a new roof and reached out to see if different organizations would be willing to help.

John Pleger's Roofing is based in Franklin and when they heard about it, they wanted to help. A GoFundMe was used to raise money for the materials but they did the job for free. It's all about veterans helping veterans.

"I'm a vet myself," said John Pleger, owner of John Pleger Roofing. "There's a big thing with Vets helping Vets. You just kind of pass it on; you help one another out."

The project was organized in a month and a half and they plan to have it done by today.
