The Request:

Dear Luke's Wings,

We received an emergency request today and need your help. There is an injured service member currently based out of Fort Carson, Colorado. He has been in combat and suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). About an hour ago, we received word, via the Red Cross, that his mother has committed suicide. We have been asked to fly him and his daughter home immediately to deal with this crisis. Please help us. Please donate $5-$10 right now on our cause page or on our website at www.lukeswings.com. $5 is the price of one beer, but if you trade it today and do this good deed, you will put this wounded warrior and his daughter on an airplane home to deal with his mother's (her grandmothers) suicide.

Please help us.

Thank you - you are Luke's Wings.

From our Facebook Supporters to Staff Sergeant J:

Dear Staff Sergeant J,

We were deeply saddened to hear about your mother. While our words can only move you so far, our actions will take you further. With the help of our Facebook supporters, we are putting together the necessary funds to immediately evac you and your daughter home to deal with this family crisis. Please know how truly grateful we are for your service to our country and for your sacrifice in combat.

During times like this, we are more than just your appreciative citizenry. We are your friends and neighbors and we are here to help you. You will be contacted within an hour by our travel agents at MacNair Travel Management. You will be in the air and on your way home this afternoon. You will be with your family this evening. You will be in our prayers tonight.

Sincerely,
Luke's Wings and our Facebook Supporters.
