At this year's Luke's Wings 10th Anniversary Heroes Gala, we honored U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Robert Fierro (Ret.), whose family received many flights over the course of his recovery from taking gunfire to the head while stationed in Iraq during January of 2011.
Toy Box Studios made the trek to the great State of Texas to meet the entire Fierro family for an evening of tacos, Uno, and some introspective recollection on the months that followed his injury. Together, they discuss the difficulties of being separated from your loved ones during the course of recovery.
Watch the video we shared with our audience at our 10th Anniversary Heroes Gala - make sure to grab a tissue first!

Here's another fun fact about Luke's Wings! Sarah Wingfield, a former Washington Redskins Cheerleader Ambassador, met with wounded warrior U.S. Army Sergeant Luke Shirley in May of 2007. Her meeting with Luke touched her spirit and after a chance lunch encounter with Fletcher Gill, an idea was born - throw a party, charge a cover, and use the funds to purchase airfare. Over 3,700 flights later, here we are! Flying families and lifting spirits day-in and day-out.
We will continue to share notable information throughout the rest of 2018 to highlight our 10 years of serving wounded, ill, and injured military heroes! Thank you all for joining us on this journey! #TenYearsOfFlight
