North American Deck and Railing Association announced the official plans and build schedule for their Deck For a Soldier project. The Western Washington Chapter will broke ground on the 25th of March. Construction will be completed in time for a ribbon cutting ceremony, to be held on Memorial Day, May 30th, 2011.

SSG Marshall Diaz has been honorably serving his country for 13 years and is currently in Active Duty. During his last deployment to Afghanistan, he was wounded and medically evacuated back to the U.S. From May of 2008 until April of 2010, SSG Diaz was in the Warrior Transition Battalion located at Joint Base Lewis-McChord SSG Marshall is honored by a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart; as well as many other prestigious awards during his career. SSG Diaz also takes time to serve his local community by volunteering with the local Boy Scout Troops and still sets time to volunteer at a local Veteran’s home.

On his application SSG Diaz noted “When I was given the option to get out of the Army, I chose the only option for me, and that is to continue to serve my country. Although my rehabilitation is an ongoing process, I hold my head up with pride for there is no other country in this world that I would rather live in, then the United States of America.”
