Quadriplegic Veteran travels through Hurricane Irma to serve his fellow Veterans

Veteran Tim Myers traveled seven miles on his motorized wheelchair along the streets of Tampa from his home to the hospital as Hurricane Irma approached Sept. 10. He then rode out the storm all night, all to make sure hospital patients would get their medications without delay.

VETERAN OF THE WEEK

This week we honor Army Veteran Pearl A. Domma. Pearl served during World War II from 1942 to 1946.

During Pearl’s time serving, she faced challenges. In Normandy, a German pilot attacked the hospital where she worked. When Pearl was relocated, those hospitals were also bombed. Pearl served overseas for 22 months.
