Mission, TX (KRGV) — Ahead of Veterans Day, 20 South Texas College students repainted a Mission home for a U.S. Army veteran.

Roger Luna is a Korean and Vietnam War veteran.

“This is a dream come true because I was really at the end. I didn't know where I was going to get the money to paint it, but I wanted to paint the house,” Luna said. 

Doctors told Luna he has only a few months to live. He is battling cancer caused by exposure to Agent Orange while deployed and said he wants to make sure his home is in good shape for his wife. 

“My wife is going to be happy, and she is happy here. Now, everything is taken care of,” Luna said.

The students also gave Luna and his wife a bench with an Army emblem to honor his service.
