EVANSVILLE, Ind. - During a recent trip to downtown Evansville, Kenny Perry, wheeled past the Vanderburgh County World War II monument to pay his respects to the uncle for whom he was named and who lost his life in the war.

As Perry read the bronze letters spelling out his uncle Kenneth Perry's name he noticed how dirty the memorial had become after years of weathering.

That is when Perry had an idea.

He shared it with other residents in the ECHO Housing Corp.'s Lucas Place II, which provides permanent housing for disabled homeless veterans, and a group of eight veterans turned Perry's idea into a plan.

The residents of Lucas Place II who have taken a lot of pride in their new home, developed a resident council, to take responsibility for their own community as well as help the surrounding neighborhood.
