RALEIGH- It was a celebration fit for a hero.

On Thursday, Operation: Coming Home hosted a "Raise the Roof" ceremony for SGT Anthony Von Canon. 

He received injuries to his hip, neck and back during a rocket attack in Afghanistan. 

SGT Von Canon says the timing for his family to move in is perfect.

"It's beyond a dream come true, right on time," he said."  We are in a very small place right now. It's been good but we've added a few new family members in the last couple of years so the timing is impeccable."

Operation: Coming Home builds and donates houses to wounded veterans. 

The family is expected to move in this July.
