HELPING THE
COMMUNITY.
Service doesn't end with the uniform.
When a veteran's family needs a hand, doing the right thing matters more than recognition. Here's one North Texas story that reflects that commitment.

A lasting legacy.
In June 2026, CBS Texas shared the story of Mary Beth Maier, the 94-year-old widow of a decorated Air Force pilot who served in Vietnam. After the family described a deeply disappointing experience with an earlier pool contractor, they needed help restoring their aging backyard pool.
Ryan “Big Sarge” Hoffman stepped forward. CBS reported that he offered to renovate the pool and surrounding area at no charge, with other local companies joining the effort in honor of the family's military service.
The story is about more than a swimming pool. It's about neighbors helping neighbors, and remembering the families who have sacrificed alongside those who served.
This article describes the offer to help reported in June 2026; it does not represent the renovation as completed.
Proud to serve.
Ready to help.
