He is passionate about spreading the word to other veterans about SAWs ramps, encouraging them to apply for a ramp or discover purpose by volunteering to help build ramps. Bob’s dedication showcases the lasting impact of your generosity, highlighting the strength of unity and shared goals.

It is both an honor and a privilege to stand in solidarity with those who have selflessly served our country.
