After being paralyzed from the waist down in a firefight in 2012, Army Specialist Sean Pesce is getting a new address. The veteran who hails from West Haven will soon move to a four bedroom, two bathroom home on spacious and hilly Mesa Drive in Bethany. "I'm really looking forward to my new home," Pesce said as he watched construction workers start to raise walls on his house.
The home is becoming a reality thanks to the organization called Homes for our Troops, with numerous sponsors like Owen-Corning and Kohler, and local builder John Doran from the Niantic Bay Group.The home will be a single floor and fully accessible for Pesce, 24, and have plenty of room for guests.
"I think this is the next big check mark in my recovery," Pesce said. "It's helping me get my life back on track to where I want to be."

Sean is a great kid and one tough Ranger.
Was just with him a couple weeks ago out at Webers place for his annual clambake weekend. Invictus, Sleepy Doc and about 6 other Rangers also on hand to take Sean fishing for some kick ass Black Sea Bass and then down the beach that night to cook it up and drink beer at the bonfire.
Very happy to hear this news.
