non-governmental provider of emergency
financial relief to severely wounded troops from the
Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts, toidentify deserving veterans to receive the beds.
This program was announced at the CSAH’s Fourth
Annual Road to Recovery
Conference in Orlando, FL on December 4th. A
representative for Craftmatic, Eric
Kraftsow, was there when the first two winners were
chosen from the 150 troops in
attendance. Sgt. John Radell, U.S. Army (Ret.) of
Crestline, CA and SSG. Scott Adams,
U.S. Army of Williston, FL will be receiving their
beds this month.
“There is no greater act than defending our
country’s freedom, and Craftmatic is pleased
to be able to do our part in honoring John, Scott
and the other brave veterans who have
sacrificed,” said Kraftsow. “We realize that a
comfortable rest is essential in an injured
warrior’s recovery, so we are honored to provide
them with a Craftmatic Adjustable Bed,
free of charge, to help with that process.”
One of the reasons Craftmatic chose to partner with
CSAH is because of the nonprofit
organization’s specific and strict qualifications
for eligibility. In order to qualify for
assistance from CSAH, troops must be a post 2001
Operation Enduring
Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom service member, or a
member of their family, injured
while serving in Iraq or Afghanistan. All cases
submitted must be verified by the
veteran’s respective military GSO and the Department
of Defense.
“The Coalition to Salute America’s Heroes was the
most obvious choice to help us
identify veterans most in need of a Craftmatic
Adjustable Bed. They have a standard
verification system that eliminates fraud, have
assisted more than 5,000 severely injured
heroes, and lead to the pack in direct financial aid
delivered to troops,” Kraftsow
commented.
