Thanks, prayers, and all-terrain Track Chairs are items Richard Hotes brought to the home of retired U.S. Air Force Sgt. Larry ‘Coop’ Cooper.
Coop was 19 years old when a Huey Gunship exploded above him in the Vietnam War, crushing his lower back, knees and legs. Although he was initially diagnosed with a temporary wound, Coop has undergone 20 surgeries since the injury, including an operation that fused his left leg straight to avoid amputation. It’s our hope that his new track chair will bring mobility and independence to improve his life.
To honor all those who have served this Veteran’s Day, we’re telling the stories of our heroic veterans - the ones who fought, and continue to fight, for our freedom. Over 10 million veterans in America suffer from a service-related disability.
Watch the inspiring story of Dallas, a Marine veteran who’s fighting for gold in the next Paralympic Games, and the Track Chair that will guide him on his journey.
After surviving two car bomb explosions in Iraq, 4-years later Andrew ‘Dallas’ Rosacker suffered a massive stroke from war-related injuries, leaving him paralyzed on the left half of his body. Undeterred, he got in the pool and started swimming with one arm and one leg. Now, he’s on the road to the Paralympics with a brand new, all-terrain Track Chair, courtesy of the Hotes Foundation.
To all of our Veterans, we at the Hotes Foundation want to thank you for your service and sacrifice. Meeting you and learning your stories has truly been an honor, and we hope that these Track Chairs will bring independence and mobility back into your lives.
