LIVE FROM THE NATIONAL MALL VETERAN HOME BUILD | Good Morning LKN | FriYAY, October 2nd, 2026

Good Morning LKN is taking you from Lake Norman to the National Mall in Washington, D.C., for a truly historic event with Purple Heart Homes.
This week, a fully accessible modular home will be built on the National Mall in just seven days before being delivered to a veteran. Good Morning LKN is here in Washington, bringing you the stories, conversations, veterans, volunteers and people behind this incredible mission.
Purple Heart Homes is a national nonprofit based right here in Statesville, and this National Mall Home Build is a powerful example of how communities can come together to make a lasting impact for veterans.
