  • Afghanistan Veteran Gets "Smart Home" in Jefferson City

JEFFERSON CITY - On this Veteran's Day, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation is giving two "smart homes" to war heroes. Corporal Tyler Huffman is the hero honored Monday and is a paraplegic.

While serving in Afghanistan, Corporal Huffman was shot twice in the chest and left paralyzed.

Monday, he is presented with a smart home that he will move into with his wife and son.

The home has many features including:

• Pocket doors that open and close easily for wheelchair movement
• Electric kitchen cabinets that lower with the touch of a button
• Remote controlled shower that has presets for temperature
• Complete security system with motion, window, and glass breakage sensors.

The smart home technology is on display at 1:30 Monday afternoon at the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
