Irvine will also visit military families based in Germany at the Kaiserslautern Military Community.
Staff Sgt. Woods served more than 25 years in the U.S. Military. He suffered severe injuries from an improvised explosive device while serving in Iraq, but returned to duty even after spending 45 days in a coma.
Woods' family fosters children out of their home, and Irvine and Gorder will recruit the whole neighbor to help pull off the renovation within a matter of days. Sinise will escort Woods back to his home for a well-deserved hero's welcome.

"MTV's Got Your 6" on MTV at 4:50 p.m.
MTV will profile four young soldiers returning from Afghanistan and follow their transition back into civilian life. The Millennial-centered documentary will shine a spotlight on the post-9/11 servicemen and women.
The program will feature raw footage that the soldiers shot on GoPro video cameras while fighting overseas. The four young men also gave candid interviews about their experience and how they feel now being back stateside.
"While the hurdles of post-traumatic stress disorder, broken relationships and anxiety haunt these young men, they remain positive and hopeful as to what their future's hold. Throughout the documentary, viewers will see the power of friendships, family and community and the roles they play in helping these soldiers settle back into civilian life," according to MTV.
MTV teamed up with the Got Your 6 campaign to make this documentary about these four extraordinary men from Texas, California, Florida and Pennsylvania. The Got Your 6 campaign works to help veterans successfully reintegrate and become leaders at home.
Viewers can find out more about the four soldiers and other young military members returning home from active duty at "MTV's Got Your 6" website.
"Dogs of War" on A&E at 10 p.m.
A&E will premiere its new series "Dogs of War" that chronicles Army veteran Jim Stanek's work training shelter dogs to become service dogs for veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injuries.
Stanek started the non-profit organization Paws and Strips with his wife Lindsey in Albuquerque, New Mexico after they learned it can cost anywhere from 30,000 to 60,000 to train a service dog. The Staneks recruited trainers to help them pair and train PTSD veterans with shelter dogs at little to no cost. Jim and his dog Sarge were the first veteran-dog team to train and graduate from the program.
"In each hour, one veteran is match with a dog adopted from a shelter that has been trained in rehabilitation. Together they take an emotional journey out of darkness, through rigorous training and emotional support, so the veteran can integrate back into normal life," according to A&E.
The Paws and Stripes program has made it easier for these suffering veterans to sleep better, drive more, go out in public, decrease dependency on alcohol and spend more time with family and friends.
"Navy SEALs: Their Untold Story" on PBS at 9 p.m.
The Navy SEALs have received increased media attention they killed Osama bin Laden in 2011. PBS gives greater insight into the special operations force from its beginnings in World War II to its work today, primarily hunting down the most dangerous terrorists in Iraq, Afghanistan and other war-torn regions.
