Honor House founder Sergeant First Class Mancini lived a life of service that did not end when he retired from the Army. His service lasted from 1997-2011, including two tours as a medic in Iraq. In 2007, he was severely wounded by a roadside bomb in Baghdad. Despite a traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Post Traumatic Stress (PTS), Brian founded Honor House, an organization dedicated to helping service members transition back to civilian life. 

Brian eventually succumbed to his wounds in March of 2017, but he touched many lives and left a lasting legacy that continues to this day. The landscape architecture at the Veterans Reflection Circle is a special place that supports his legacy while honoring his life as a decorated veteran and community leader. Those who visit the Veterans Reflection Circle in Surprise are inspired by his life and appreciate the sacrifice that all veterans make each day.
