 Jerry Padgett, enlisted in the U.S. Navy, deployed multiple times to Iraq and Afghanistan. While on patrol in Afghanistan, Jerry was injured by an improvised explosive device blast, suffered a spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, and audio and visual impairments. He lives today thanks to a long recovery. Nothing can reverse the damage done to Jerry's body, but through the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, we can honor heroes like Jerry for their tremendous sacrifices.
