**UPDATED STAGING INFORMATION**

"HOME DEDICATION EVENT", GARY SINESE FOUNDATION

The Gary Sinese Foundation requests the presence and participation of the San Antonio Patriot Guard Riders in the "Home Dedication" event of US Army Veteran, Staff Sergeant Lucas David Cifka (Retired).

In 2013 Sgt. Cifka deployed to Eastern Afghanistan. While on foot patrol he stepped on a pressure plate improvised explosive device (IED) which took his legs. He also broke multiple bones and suffered many other injuries. Over 30 surgeries later, Lucas strives to be able to walk again so he can play with his son and perform everyday tasks. He is currently confined to a wheelchair and is trying to get used to using prosthetic legs effectively. Lucas’ goal is to become a firearms instructor, as he has the experience needed and a big passion for teaching. He looks forward to a future in their new house to regain independence again, a place to finally call home.
