🏅We're going to the Paralympics! 🏅Well, not Purple Heart Homes, but our good friend Retired Col. Patty Collins will be a commentator at the Paralympics Games in Paris, which begin tomorrow! This amazing woman will also be speaking at our Take That Hill biking event on Oct. 5. 🚲 Patty was hit by a car while cycling, resulting in the loss of her left leg, but she persevered and is the current world record holder of the 70.3 distance triathlon for female amputees. But that's not all! She's still serving her country as Director of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing for the U.S. Treasury. #supportveterans #disabledveterans #amputeeathlete #purplehearthomes #paralympics

Über uns
Purple Heart Homes is a 501(c)3 public charity that was founded in 2008 by John Gallina and Dale Beatty, two combat wounded veterans. After being injured in Iraq in 2004, they returned to their community and received a warm welcome and grateful appreciation for their service. They began to question why all veterans didn’t get the same levels of support and assistance from society. The answer isn’t easy, but Purple Heart Homes fills the gaps by providing housing for Service Connected Disabled Veterans that is substantial in function, design, and quality fit to welcome home the fighting men and women of America. From building a ramp for a veteran of World War II, to providing home ownership opportunities to younger Veterans, our programs are designed out of necessity and fit the specific needs of the aging veteran population.

Clark Kent's glasses cloaked his superpowers, but our Board of Directors don their Wiley X shades 🕶️when they want to amp up their strategic planning superpowers! 🦸🦸🏽♀️ This weekend, our dedicated board members have been digging into strategic planning, ensuring we have a clear roadmap ahead to continue growing our impact as we provide safe, barrier-free housing solutions for Veterans! They've put in some long hours, and we're so grateful for the work they're doing! We're also grateful that Wiley X was able to help us show that gratitude, by gifting a pair of their premium protective sunglasses to each board member. 😎

As we commemorate the first official Army parachute jump on August 16, 1940, I encourage all Americans to join me in honoring the thousands of soldiers, past and present, who have served in an airborne capacity."
