Wounded Warriors at Ft. Sam Houston Team Up With PET San Antonio
On 10/24/09, PET San Antonio took PET wheelchair parts to the Warrior & Family Support Center at Ft. Sam Houston and enlisted help from Wounded Warriors, family members, and volunteers in assembling PETs.  Pictured here is what we started with. 
Soldiers undergoing medical treatment and rehabilitation at Brooke Army Medical Center drilled holes . . .
Assembled wooden components . . .
And added foam and vinyl sheeting to make seats . . .
Once completed, the PET wheelchairs were field tested by children of the Wounded Warriors.
Twenty PET wheelchairs were assembled in just 5 hours.  They were banded for shipping and made ready for delivery to 20 disabled people living in developing countries.  Thank you, Wounded Warriors, family members, and volunteers of the Warrior & Family Support Center!
