ALBUQUERQUE, NM –March 14, 2008—Albuquerque veteran, Staff Sergeant Charles Wyatt, USAF (Ret.) was injured in Iraq twice, once in 2004 and once in 2006. His job was a heavy well mechanic, and in his first deployment, he was working on a Humvee and a mortar came in and sent him bouncing of a brick wall. In his second deployment the truck he was working on was under fire, and collapsed on top of him leaving him with severe burns and nerve damage.

“I first joined the U.S. Army in 2001, and was in basic training when 9/11 happened,” Wyatt remembered. “I was deployed in 2003 with the 53rd Quarter Master and was sent to Baghdad for a year. When I came home my service time was up, so I re-enlisted with the 150th Fighter Lane in the Air Force. I went back to Iraq in 2006 for a six month deployment.”

His first injury occurred two weeks before his unit was supposed to come home in 2004. His second injury also occurred two weeks before his unit was supposed to come home.

“I guess there was something about that two week mark, I seemed to keep getting injured there,” joked Wyatt. “Both times I recovered in a hospital in Iraq and then came home with my unit. The second time in 2006, I was sent home to Albuquerque to recover at my local VA center because my injuries were too severe to remain on the job.”

Wyatt was medically discharged in October of 2006, and was given an 80% disability rating from the VA. Since he was discharged from the military, Wyatt’s life has changed dramatically.

“I used to make pretty good money as a mechanic, but now I work as a shop foreman at Albuquerque Freightliner because I can’t turn wrenches anymore,” Wyatt said. “I don’t sleep at night, I basically just nap. I constantly wake up from nightmares and pain.”

This week, Wyatt was delivered a free Craftmatic® Adjustable Bed because of his courageous sacrifices and military service through the Craftmatic Cares Program.

A recent 2007 survey states that 92% of severely wounded troops report to have trouble sleeping, so Craftmatic is donating one new adjustable bed a week in 2008 to a severely wounded War on Terror veteran to help them sleep more soundly.

Wyatt says that they haven’t set the bed up yet, but he is really hoping that now he might be able to sleep throughout the night.

“I am really looking forward to our new bed, and I know that my wife Kristin is too. I hope that now I can actually sleep for hours on end, rather than just napping for short periods of time,” said Wyatt.

“Craftmatic is very honored to donate this week’s bed to Staff Sergeant Charles Wyatt,” said Eric Kraftsow, Elevation Bed, LLC owners of the Craftmatic trademark. “The Craftmatic Cares program was designed as a way for the company to give back to those who have given so much of themselves for our freedom. Mr. Wyatt is a perfect candidate because his injuries have prevented him from getting a good night’s sleep. We hope that now, he will be able to wake up fully rested.”

Robert Walsh Kids Clothing wants to announce the creation of their newest page on their website, entitled “Support Our Troops, Soldiers & Army Wives In Iraq & Afghanistan War”. Since September the collapse of Wall Street and the Housing Foreclosures countrywide has dominated the NEWS.  Americans from coast to coast are focusing on their economic concerns of keeping their jobs, saving their homes from foreclosure, and protecting their saving and investments from being a complete loss.

Due to this refocusing we seemed to have forgotten our troops in Iraq, and the Afghanistan war against terrorism.  With all the doom and gloom at home we want to remind our fellow citizens that there are thousands of American soldiers in Iraq.  Afghanistan and the war in Afghanistan is the front line in our war against terrorism.  Our service men and women still need our support.  And with the Holiday Season upon us it is more important than ever that we give them a touch of home on the battle fronts abroad as we have done in all of our previous wars over the last fifty plus years.

This page, http://www.robertwalshkidsclothing.com/23.html, suggests ways to support our troops and their army wives here at home.  With every donation Americans can share the “Holiday Spirit” by sending an e-mail Christmas to one of over 200,000 troops stationed overseas away from their families in order to safeguard our freedoms here at home.  A simple donation may provide soldiers a call home to their army wives and children with a prepaid phone card.  This certainly is a top holiday gift, because it brings SO MUCH JOY to everyone, including the giver and the recipients and their families.

These precious simple gifts that are PRICELESS are made available through the generosity of ordinary Americans who want to recognize American soldiers worldwide who once again sacrifice their lives and the lives of their army families during this Holiday Season. 

Through your kindness and generosity we can give back to our troops a gift that is PRICELESS.  A holiday card that tells a member of our Armed Forces we haven’t forgotten, and we are grateful for your service CAN MEAN SO MUCH to that soldier stationed high in the cold and remote mountains of Afghanistan. To write soldiers or have an e-mail card sent in your name is a real morale booster for that G.I. Joe.

Or to adopt a soldier with a donation for that prepaid phone card not only supports the soldiers in Iraq, but also their army wives here stateside who receive that surprise precious long distance phone call that unites the army family for the HOLIDAY….how precious is that!!! 

We want to encourage Americans, despite their own economic hardships, to realize that even a small donation of $20.00 is less than one penny for the every service men and women abroad.  It would take approximately $2,000.00 to raise it to a penny per soldier stationed overseas.

So please join our effort to remember our troops this Holiday Season with an affordable donation that will bring PRICELESS HOLIDAY JOY to a soldier and his/her family.  You can’t buy much with a penny these days.  But by helping to raise a penny per soldier abroad with YOUR DONATION and Donations like yours is the BEST GIFT YOU CAN GIVE to our soldiers this HOLIDAY SEASON!  Please help Support our Troops.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL OUR SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN & THEIR FAMILIES THIS HOLIDAY SEASON!!!

Sapulpa, OK –Jun 26, 2008 – A 2007 survey of severely wounded troops from the War on Terror found that 92% have trouble sleeping due to nightmares, insomnia and pain. In order to combat this looming problem among the military, Craftmatic® Adjustable Beds has embarked on their CraftmaticCARES Program to donate one adjustable bed, free-of-charge to a severely wounded War on Terror veteran each week in 2008. SSG Shawn Green, U.S. Army (Ret.) of Sapulpa is this week’s winner.

 

Green first enlisted in the Army in January of 1983 and served proudly for 25 years until he was medically retired in 2007. He served two tours in Iraq with the 104th Training Division out of Washington state, his first in 2003 and second in 2007. Green honorably served under General Petraeus with the Multinational Transition Team.

 

“We were responsible for training the Iraqi people and the Iraqi Army to take over the country for themselves,” Green remembered. “We were under a constant enemy watch; every time we rolled out of the gate we knew they were watching our every move. We had to be on our toes for sure. Thank God we had helicopter cover.”

 

Although his unit was on the watch during his first tour Green was blown out of a Humvee in a mortar attack and severely damaged his neck, lower back and left shoulder.

 

But when his injuries weren’t treated properly in 2004, Green was deployed yet again in 2007 and was only there a month before his old injuries came back to haunt him.

 

“One day my entire left side went numb and the injuries finally shut me down after 25 years of service,” Green said.

 

He was flown back to the US in July of 2007 for physical therapy and back and neck surgeries at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, TX.

 

This week, Green learned that he would be receiving the Craftmatic bed because of his service to the military and his combat related injuries.

 

“Right now we just have a regular queen sized bed, with a standard mattress,” Green said. “Sometimes I sleep, sometimes I don’t. If my lower back isn’t getting the proper support, I wake up in pain and can’t go back to sleep. I guess I average about four to five hours of sleep a night.”

 

The Craftmatic Adjustable Beds are especially helpful to those with severe back injuries because the ‘S’ shape of the mattress mimics the curvature of the human spine, supporting the back in ways that flat mattresses cannot.

 

“Because Craftmatic beds adjust to fill the gaps created between a flat mattress and the spine, the entire back is fully supported,” said Eric Kraftsow, Elevation Bed, LLC owners of the Craftmatic trademark. “This is extremely helpful for those with back and neck injuries, such as SSG Green, who need to be properly supported in order to get a good night’s sleep and wake up fully rested. Craftmatic Adjustable Beds are proud to be an instrumental figure in these wounded heroes roads to recovery.”
