Hi, my name is Jason and I'm the Founder/President of Wheelers For The Wounded. You can read more about that at www.wheelersforthewounded.org or www.myspace.com/wheelersforthewounded or in a thread here on this site: http://www.militaryjeepers.com/community/showthread.php?t=786
I served in the Army from 1989 to May 2001, at which time I was medically discharged (1 fractured vertebrae in my neck and 2 fractured vertebrae in my back). Through a massive amount of physical therapy I have healed for the most part, but still have constant pain that will be with me for the rest of my life.
I am a veteran of the 1st Gulf War and served 2 tours in Bosnia ('95/'96 and again in '98) and 1 in support of the Kosovo peacekeeping mission. I was stationed in Ft. Myer, Virginia and in various places throughout Germany.
I'm currently a private contractor for the U.S. Department of State in Fallujah, Iraq and am assigned to various Army and Marine units. I've been here since June 5, 2007 and just signed an extension to stay until January 4, 2009. After that, I'll extend my stay again until mid-March of 2009.
I've owned 3 Jeeps in the past...a red 1995 Jeep Wrangler SE, a red 1998 Jeep Wrangler Sport, and a red 2001 Jeep Wrangler Sahara. My most recent Jeep is a black 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon which is currently going through a massive customization process. I think one of the toughest things about being in Iraq is how much I miss my Jeep! hahahaha :D
Anyhow, I'm proud to have been a member of our countries military and am just as proud to be a part of this website where fellow military members, past and present, can enjoy our love of wheeling and Jeeps.
