They dated. In , they married. Gilyeat already had one child from a relationship with a different woman in another state. They also agree that the marriage was troubled. There were problems with money. Problems with work. Problems with perceived promises to each other about how their life together would go. Maureen had quit the Marines after nine years. She got work at the Ford Claycomo plant putting together engines on the assembly line.

His own arms are covered with dragons. But life at home remained hard. When the Marines called Gilyeat back to duty after the attacks of Sept. Although Maureen said she thought he was crazy, he re-enlisted. In he was bound for Iraq, a four-month tour, and made it back safely. So he agreed to go to Iraq a second time. They rode into an ambush.

Small-arms fire, rocket fire. Dust and smoke swirled. He tried to stay calm, knowing that if his blood pressure spiked, the blood would only spill faster.

A medic bumped his injured leg. Morphine flowed through his body. Soon it was followed by determination. He was in the airport in Texas. A stranger approached. He says he appreciates what I did. I go to the terminal. I want you to have this check.

You'd have to be emotionally dead to make it through an entire episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition without a few tissues. Seeing a hardworking family being given their dream home made you feel good. You just knew things were going to turn around for them. However, while the house was free to the families, the rest wasn't. Many of these families were left with giant mansions that required higher taxes, utility bills, and upkeep.

India Dickinson and her family were given a beautiful 4, square-foot home , but were barely making ends meet before the show. When I first heard about a free house going into foreclosure, I was confused.

I figured the families must have squandered their money away on frivolous cars and luxuries. How could you lose a house that was given to you? Well it's a little more complicated than that. Because most of the families on the show are barely scraping by, any new expense can put them over the edge. When their taxes and utility bills are doubled, tripled, even quadrupled, they simply cannot keep up.

In , the Harvey family was given a spacious 4, square-foot house, but the bank auctioned it off six years later. This pattern became common with many former guests of the show, who took mortgages out on their new, expensive homes to pay off old bills or start new ventures. It's hard to say where the fault lies. Should ABC have given families smaller homes, or should the families have not accepted the mansions?

The St. Augustine Record reported the show built a six-bedroom, seven-bath mansion for a family of four, which many would say is more house than they ever needed. In addition to the doubled or tripled power bills, brand new makeover houses come with higher tax bills as well.

Perhaps fortunately for the families, the reality show helped them in some creative ways. Endemol, USA , the company behind Extreme Makeover: Home Edition , did some serious acrobatics to help the families avoid paying taxes on their makeover.

An IRS loophole says if your home is rented out for less than 15 days per year, you do not need to pay taxes on that rental income. With that in mind, the show explains to families that they are "renting" the house from the family for a week, and the improvements are the rental payment, meaning they don't have to pay taxes on the improvements.
