2014 VETERANS DAY REMEMBRANCE BENEFIT DANCETo honor the 2014 recipient Army SGT Noah Galloway

Army Sergeant Noah Galloway was on his second deployment when he lost his left arm above theelbow and his left leg above the knee after a roadside bomb exploded on December 19, 2005 inYusufiyah, Iraq. While accompanying his platoon leader on a routine mission near Yusufiyah in whatwas referred to as the "Triangle of Death," SGT Galloway's vehicle drove into a trip wire that igniteda roadside bomb. In the aftermath of the blast, which thrust the vehicle into a canal, the platoon leaderwould find SGT Galloway's bloodied helmet, and later, a severely injured Galloway, legs mangled inthe wreckage. SGT Galloway was rescued from the site and returned to the abandoned potato factorywhere his unit had taken up quarters. He was then evacuated from the site and brought to Bagdad; sixdays later, on Christmas, SGT Galloway woke up at Walter Reed Medical Center, with no recollectionof the blast. His mother would then deliver him the devastating news: the bomb took his left armabove the elbow and his left leg above the knee. Perhaps the biggest source of inspiration during SGTGalloway's recovery has been his father Andy, who lost his arm at a young age in a work accident. Afitness fanatic, SGT Galloway regularly competes in endurance races and travels around the countryfor motivational speaking engagements. SGT Galloway is humbled by the opportunity to receive a newspecially adapted home to suit his individual needs. As a busy father with three children under the ageof nine, he takes comfort in knowing that in the nature he will be able to stay actively involved in theirlives and enjoy a mortgage-free home that is suited to his individual needs. Like countless other injuredveterans, SGT Galloway feels that many of his fellow wounded soldiers are "more deserving" of aspecially adapted home, downplaying his own need for one. He does, however, acknowledge that thegift of a new home from Homes for our Troops will safeguard his future health, since it will minimize

the probability of accidents or falls that could easily occur in a traditional or non-handicapped accessible home. Additionally, SGT Gallowayrecognizes that as he ages, his health and dexterity may deteriorate putting him at greater risk of injuring his existing limbs should he slip and fall.
