David served in the Marines for 22 years and participated in Operation Desert Storm in 1991. He returned to the Middle East in 2003 during the invasion of Iraq, Afghanistan in 2009, and ultimately retired in 2013. Two years after retiring, David began to experience mobility issues. In 2017, he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gherig\u2019s disease. The VA determined that David\u2019s disease is service connected.CWO3 Field\u2019s new home features more than 40 major special adaptations such as widened doorways for wheelchair access, a roll-in shower, and kitchen amenities that include pull-down shelving and lowered countertops. The home will also alleviate the mobility and safety issues associated with a traditional home, including navigating a wheelchair through narrow hallways or over thresholds, riding on carpets, or reaching for cabinets that are too high. Homes For Our Troops will donate the home to CWO3 Field, thanks to contributions from donors, supporters, and corporate partners.Thank you for your service and sacrifice CWO3 Field. Metro Fire is proud to welcome you home!#metrofire #firefighter #firefighters #firefighting #iaff #fireengine #firetruck #ambulance #housefire #structurefire #firstresponder #firstresponders #rescue #paramedic #emt #ems #californiafirefighting #california #sacramento #firelife #medic #verticalventilation #forcibleentry #wildfire #wildlandfire #californiafires #fire #veteran #veterans  #veteranshelpingveterans Sacramento County Sheriff\u2019s Office Folsom Fire Department Folsom Police Department U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Homes For Our Troops<\/p>\n<p>Posted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MetroFireOfSacramento\">Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District<\/a> on Saturday, March 5, 2022<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cSo what this is doing for David is restoring that freedom and independence he lost and sacrificed while defending our freedom and independence in Iraq and Afghanistan,\u201d explained Bill Ivey, who serves as the Homes For Our Troops executive director.<\/p>\n<p>The organization\u2019s website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hfotusa.org\/mission\/\">said<\/a> its mission is to build and present the adapted homes to severely injured post 9\/11 veterans who need help rebuilding their lives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI cry out of joy for the love that\u2019s been given our son for all the years he\u2019s served, he\u2019s now been served,\u201d noted Field\u2019s mother, Susan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Marine veteran in Orangevale, California, has begun another chapter of life in a house designed with his needs in mind and is calling the experience \u201cbreathtaking.\u201d Marine Chief Warrant<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1361387","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1361387","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1361387"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1361387\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1361387"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1361387"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1361387"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
