Homes For Our Troops (HFOT) has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to be part of the accompaniment to celebrate the Key Ceremonies for two brand new, custom homes for combat-wounded Navy veterans, HMC Redmond Ramos and HMC Max Rohn. The homes are specially adapted to their needs and will be mortgage-free. Both homes are now completed and keys will be presented to these heroes.
Redmond Ramos is one of four brothers who all served as Navy Corpsmen with the Fleet Marine Force supporting Marine Infantrymen in combat. On March 26, 2011, near the end of a combat deployment to Sangin, Afghanistan with the 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines, a fellow Marine stepped on an improvised explosive device (IED). Red was maneuvering to assist the injured Marine when he triggered another IED. He lost his left leg below the knee and sustained other injuries in the blast.
https://www.hfotusa.org/building-homes/veterans/ramos/Max Rohn always knew he wanted to join the military. He saw it as an opportunity to travel and wanted to follow the legacy of his grandfather who served during World War II. Being a lifeguard during high school, Max excelled at administering first aid, and decided to enlist as a corpsman in the Navy. On May 2, 2009, during his first combat deployment, Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Rohn was serving with the 2nd Marine Headquarters Group in Fallujah, Iraq, when his vehicle was struck by an RKG-3 grenade. HM3 Rohn sustained severe damage to both his legs in the blast. After two years of limb salvage, Max made the decision to have doctors amputate his right leg.
