JOIN US IN GIVING BACK
TO A COMBAT HERO.
US ARMY CW3
SCOTT CARNES
In December of 2004, US Army Chief Warrant Officer Three Scott Carnes' Apache helicopter was hit with an explosive while protecting members of a fellow unit in Mosul, Iraq. The blast caused severe damage to the helicopter—which Scott was miraculously able to ground in an emergency landing—as well as his spine.
After pushing on and doing his best to cope with the pain, the injury eventually led to Scott losing control of different parts of his body—including a leg during one of his final flights. "I really put my unit and duty ahead of my health and kept on pushing," he said. Eventually, Scott was retired from the military and able to receive the medical treatment he needed. The injury to his spine permanently limited his mobility however, meaning he must navigate the daily challenges of transferring from a wheelchair or walker to a seat.
