The White Heart Foundation, in collaboration with Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys and the Veterans Charity Ride, teamed up with Jay Leno to surprise one wounded veteran with a well-deserved gift.
Every now and then, we like to switch it up and film something a little different. Laura is a friend of ours, and she contacted us a few weeks ago with an awesome idea in mind.
Her husband, Jimmy, is a CW4 in the U.S. Army and had been overseas for 400 days. The day he was deployed, was also the day his daughter left for her first day of college. So when Laura got the call that her husband was coming back home, she wanted to make a big deal about it. He landed in Tulsa on May 10, but had to keep quiet because he had a long day ahead. He was going to surprise his three daughters, and his mother all in the same day!
There was definitely a lot of emotion in each surprise. It was actually a little hard for us to film, as we had to stay focused and try to not get emotional ourselves! All we can say after spending just one afternoon with this family, is that they are amazing. The strength and love that they have for one another is something we would film every day if we had the chance. We are extremely grateful to have been a part of this exciting day, and even more grateful to have Jimmy fight for our country.
