The season finale of the ABC television show "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" will air on Sunday, May 22, featuring the family of Lori Piestewa, the Hopi woman killed in action in Iraq.
With tribal donations and help from a housing company, the show build a new home for Piestewa's parents and her two young children. The home is located in Flagstaff, Arizona.
The family was selected after being nominated by Jessica Lynch, Lori's best friend and roommate in the U.S. Army. Jessica survived the attack by Iraqi soldiers that led to Lori's death on March 23, 2003.
