Two Combat Wounded Veterans Honored on the Anniversary of September 11
Benjamin Carter, a retired U.S. Army Master Sergeant was presented his mortgage-free home and Brandon Craig Paredes, a retired U.S. Army Sergeant was presented his payment-free vehicle at the Country Club of the Rockies’ Patriot Day Golf Tournament in Edwards, Colo.
Both veterans were honored for their services and sacrifice and were sponsored by Military Warriors Support Foundation’s partner, Country Club of the Rockies.
Retired U.S. Army Master Sergeant Benjamin Carter served in the military for 20 years and is a recipient of the Purple Heart for being wounded while supporting combat operations. MSG Benjamin Carter will be honored by Country Club of the Rockies by presenting him with the ceremonial key to his mortgage-free home. The home was donated by Wells Fargo to Military Warriors Support Foundation’s Homes4WoundedHeroes program earlier this year. Carter’s family is receiving three years of family and financial mentorship made possible with the sponsorship by Country Club of the Rockies. The home and mentorship provide the crucial ongoing support the Carter family needs while transitioning from military life to civilian life.
Retired U.S. Army Sergeant Brandon Craig Paredes served in the military for over 8 years and is a recipient of the Purple Heart for being wounded while supporting combat operations. SGT Paredes will be honored by Country Club of the Rockies by presenting him with the ceremonial key to his payment-free vehicle. The vehicle was donated by another partner to Military Warriors Support Foundation’s Transportation4Heroes program. The Paredes’ family is receiving one year of family and financial mentorship made possible with the sponsorship by Country Club of the Rockies. The vehicle and mentorship provide crucial ongoing support the Paredes family needs while transitioning from military life to civilian life.
Both veterans were chosen to receive their life-changing gifts after applying to MWSF’s programs. MWSF’s applications have a rigorous vetting process to ensure that the applicant chosen to receive a vehicle or home is the best recipient to participate in the programs. MWSF works with the recipients to ensure that the gift assists them in their successful transition out of the military and into their new civilian life.
Military Warriors Support Foundation is honored to participate each year at Country Club of the Rockies and is grateful to the continued support they give to our heroes.
