[2018] Freddy Ruiz, HFOT Key Award Ceremony (143-17) 20 OCT 18

[sgtmack]

“HFOT KEY AWARD CEREMONY”
The presence and participation of the San Antonio Patriot Guard Riders has been requested to take part in this joyous event. We have been asked to ride a procession and stand a Flag Line for the veteran and family to participate in a “Key Awarding Ceremony” presented by Homes For Our Troops (HFOT). This ceremony will be the final presentation of a specially adapted mortgage free home for Army Staff Sergeant Jose “Freddy” Ruiz and his family.

“On Sept 16, 2010 SSG Ruiz was on his third tour in Afghanistan as a Personal Security Detail with the 1/66th Armored Regiment when an IED caused his vehicle to roll multiple times injuring his head causing TBI and multiple extremity fractures.”

Recovery has been slow and “Freddy” describes it as being reborn as he has to relearn how to walk, eat, and talk; as he simultaneously copes with emotional, behavioral and social challenges caused by his injuries. He will not give up!
