Budrock “the Illuminator” Prewitt, Lighting Director for Willie Nelson & Family is enjoying some time off from the road, and will ride on Saturday.
Heroes Night Out (HNO) provides an opportunity for soldiers who were saved on the battlefield but too severely injured to return to active duty to get a break and get the much needed family time with an Appreciation Wallet. Each wallet contains six (6) $50 gift cards for a ‘Night Out’ with their families, friends, and/or caregivers—a much needed stress reliever to heal their hearts.
Here is buddy on a different ride, in Colorado:
Heroes Night Out (HNO) supports wounded soldiers in WTU’s or Wounded Transitional Units. These soldiers are saved on the battlefield but too severely injured to return to active duty. We’re losing them to crime, divorce, and suicide, each at historic record levels. These soldiers are being ‘transitioned’ to another job or, more commonly, ‘med-ed out’ of service. The severity of their injuries decides their fate. The transition period is riddled with surgeries, evaluations, and uncertainty.
HNO provides an opportunity for these soldiers to get a break and get the much needed family time to prevent these tragedies by providing them with an Appreciation Wallet. Each wallet contains six (6) $50 gift cards for a ‘Night Out’ with their families, friends, and/or caregivers—a much needed stress reliever to heal their hearts. HNO was started by Wes and Judy Pierce of Leander, TX in 2008. They discovered the need after visiting Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC) and talking to the families who now reside at the Fisher House.
