Cool news to share with you




The New York Yankees and Matbock presented Army Veteran Bryon "Pete” Sutherland with an all-terrain trackchair at their game last night.

Sutherland was in the Army from 94 to 96, and he reentered the Army following 9/11. He deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom with 2/5 Cav, 1st Brigade Combat Team of the 1st Cavalry Division in March of 2004. 

In April 2004 while on patrol to rescue soldiers pinned down under heavy gunfire in Sadr City, he took gunshot wounds to both legs from enemy fire, ending his military career, and received a Purple Heart.

Having an all-terrain trackchair will give Sutherland the opportunity to “navigate the extreme terrain located on his property and hunt, opportunities that are unavailable to him in a traditional wheelchair.”
