VIDEO: STEVE HARVEY Celebrates Veterans Day with Special Home Makeover Today

Tune-in to STEVE HARVEY today, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11 as STEVE HARVEY celebrates VETERAN'S DAY all hour, with an audience full of service men and women. Steve will pay tribute to the veterans who work so hard to ensure the safety of our great country, with several heartwarming surprise reunions and by taking a moment to recognize the sacrifices that veterans have made.

"Steve Harvey" airs weekdays. Check local listings or go to http://www.steveharveytv.com/ for time and channel.

Among the stories that will be highlighted on Tuesday's episode, SHANE DUFFY, a veteran and professional contractor who gives back by renovating homes for service men and women through The Home Depot's "Celebration of Service" project, will give viewers a behind-the-scenes look at a surprise renovation project in Chicago for Vietnam veteran and Bronze Star Medal with Valor recipient, U.S. Marine Sergeant MICHAEL KELTNER.

Shane will make changes throughout Michael's house that will help make daily life much easier and safer for him. In the kitchen, Michael's old slippery and uneven floor will be replaced with a porcelain non-skid tile. Cabinets will be lowered and drawers will be raised, making it easier for Michael to reach things without having to bend down. And countertops will be replaced with rounded edges to protect Michael from injury. The bathroom will receive design upgrades too, including a custom built floating shelf, providing Michael easy access to all of the medications that he takes.

"It's a breath of fresh air to see his reaction because it's genuine," Shane Duffy says. "It makes me feel that everything that we've put into this, that it's worth it."

Shane says that it's not uncommon for veterans to resist asking for help. "It's a common theme when I work with veterans that they're so humble, they don't want anything. They don't want help." Shane tells Steve Harvey, adding "He deserves it. He's a real life war hero. We're sitting next to a hero."

People can celebrate service by sharing a photo of giving back in their own communities or honoring a service member on Twitter and Instagram, and use the hashtag #ServiceSelfie. For each #ServiceSelfie shared during Celebration of Service, The Home Depot Foundation will donate $1, up to $1 million, to support Gary Sinise Foundation, Housing Assistance Council, Jared Allen's Homes for Wounded Warriors, Meals on Wheels America, Operation Finally Home, Operation Homefront, Purple Heart Homes, Semper Fi Fund and the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
