CKE Restaurants selected Homes for Our Troops as one of the national beneficiaries of its new charitable initiative - Stars for Troops. In addition to a system-wide in-store fundraiser, Hardee's® employees and franchisees are active at various regional events throughout the year.

 

On June 17, 2011, Hardee's employees in Huntsville, AL (owned and operated by Paradigm, a Hardee's franchisee) fed volunteers who were working on CPL. William's home during a 3-day build brigade. They also provided food at and attended the official key ceremony on June 18.

 

Army CPL Jeffery Williams was on his first deployment when he was paralyzed from the chest down in an explosion in Iraq in May 2004. While on a mission with the Marines, CPL Williams’ platoon was attacked when an IED slammed into the HUMMVEE he was riding in, killing two of his battle buddies and severely injuring him and a fellow soldier. Transported to a local hospital, then airlifted to Landstuhl, Germany, CPL Williams was later flown to Walter Reed Army Medical Center. He also received treatment at the Augusta VA spending a combined total of a year in the hospital.
