BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- A military veteran who risked his life for the country was given a special thank you Saturday in the form of a new place to live.
Leon Ralph Noel was given a newly-renovated home in Baltimore's Berea neighborhood for free as part of the "Adopt-A-Block" program.
The organization partners with other non-profits, churches like Rock City Church and companies like Home Depot to give homes to those in need.

The home was the 17th given away through the program.
