Nevada Army National Guard veteran Nathan Fischer is starting a new chapter in his life.

Fischer has a home of his own in northwest Las Vegas and he will be able to raise his daughter there.

The Homes on the Homefront program, created by Operation Homefront and its corporate partners, awards mortgage-free homes to our nation's veterans and military families. The homes are donated by bank partners including Chase Bank and other financial services companies.

Fischer enlisted in 2005 and served in Iraq. He retired with an honorable discharge, according to a news release from Operation Homefront. Since leaving the military, Fischer has been living with his father in a small trailer in Las Vegas. He has been sharing a room with his daughter, Rilee.
