The Wounded Warrior Project<\/strong> is one of many phenomenal organizations working hard to make a difference in the lives of those who were injured in combat. We would like to take a moment to show appreciation for the Pilots in the Powered Paragliding Community who continue to be involved in these organizations.

A former Camp Lejeune Marine<\/strong> who lost his leg while serving in Afghanistan got a whole new beginning on Thursday, March 26th<\/sup>. Cpl. Ryan Wightman and his loving Wife Melissa were handed the keys to their paid-in-full, brand-new home. This was courtesy of \u201cOperation Coming Home,\u201d a nonprofit program that builds homes for disabled combat veterans who served our Country in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

During this highly publicized event, Paramotor Pilot Ross Kennedy<\/strong> flew his Powered Paraglider to the residence, delivering the keys to the custom-built 3,000 square-foot home.
