Last year in Bellevue, WA, Joe, a Navy combat veteran, who lost his hearing while serving in combat, received his fully funded service dog thanks to the American Warrior Initiative and the generous folks of the local Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation, hosted by regional manager, Bob Rankin and his amazing team.

Now, a year later at the American Warrior Real Estate Professional event in Woodinville, WA, Joe shared how “Pepper” has become his “ears” and changed his life! Pepper stands on patrol at night when Joe takes off his hearing devices and has given Joe a sense of security he would otherwise not have.

It was a big surprise to Joe today when AWI, the #FairwayNation, along with the patriot real estate agents who purchased RED Friday shirts, presented Joe with another gift – a $5,000 family grant to help with any expenses he might have – along with a year supply of Purina Dog Chow – thank you, #Purina!

Special Thanks to all of those who helped make this event possible!
