"Honoring Our Heroes" Recognition Dance Social
Luxury Homes Internationale has a deep respect for those who have served our state and nation with courage, dedication and honor. Some veterans return home with physical injuries, others may suffer silently because their injuries are real but not seen by others. Luxury Homes Intl. is spearheading a "Honoring Our Heroes" Recognition Dance Social in 2010.
More details about the social and how you can play a meaningful role in "Honoring Our Heroes" will be available shortly.
If you would like to participate in the "Honoring Our Heroes" Recognition Dance Social, please go to Contact Us, complete the Contact by Email form, and let us know how you would like to participate, a short description of your background, and best time to contact you in the "Message" section. If you have any questions, please call (503) 636-6345. This is a "non-profit" event.
Wounded Warrior Project
Wounded Warrior Project began when several individuals took small, inspired actions to help others in need.
One night while watching the evening news, a group of veterans and brothers were moved by the difficult stories of the first wounded service members returning home from Afghanistan and Iraq. They realized then and there that something needed to be done for these brave individuals beyond the brass bands and ticker tape parades.
The resulting objective was to provide tangible support for the severely wounded and help them on the road to healing, both physically and mentally. What had been initially viewed as a small contribution (compared with what the warriors had sacrificed while serving our country) has become WWP's signature program:"WWP backpacks delivered bedside to wounded warriors."
For more information, please go to the Wounded Warrior Project website. The Wounded Warrior Project is a nonprofit organization.
Homes For Our Troops: SPC Kevin Pannell (Portland, OR)
Army SPC Kevin Pannell was serving in Iraq with the 1st Cavalry Division when he was severely injured on June 13, 2004. Kevin's 12-man unit was on a routine foot patrol in a dangerous area of central Baghdad when he was ambushed in an alleyway.
Pannel heard two "clinks" behind him. He said the sounds were from grenades, thrown by insurgents, landing at his feet. One of the grenades rolled against his right foot and exploded, knocking him down and ripping his legs apart.
After tourniquets were applied by his fellow soldiers, he was transported in a Humvee to the 31st combat support Hospital in Baghdad's Green zone. He was eventually transported to Walter Reed Army Medical Center, where he underwent 13 operations including the amputation of both of his legs; one below and one above the knee.
Kevin is currently living in an apartment, with his wife Danielle and son Hunter, that is not accessible at all. Help us build him a home that will accommodate his needs and enable him and his family to concentrate on recovery and their future.
