Travis Mills

On April 10, 2012, Travis Mills of the U.S. Army 82nd Airborne was critically injured on his third tour of duty in Afghanistan. While on patrol, an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) blast unfortunately took portions of his legs and both arms. Travis is one of only five quadruple amputees from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to survive his injuries. In 2013, Travis retired from the U.S. Army.

Thanks to his amazing strength, courage and will to live, as well as the heroic actions of the men in his unit and the healthcare providers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Travis remains on the road to recovery. Every day is a battle, but he continues to astound friends and family with his remarkable progress and indomitable spirit.

Travis Mills is a true American hero. For his incredible sacrifice, our nation will remain forever in his debt.

“It is a true honor to serve as an Ambassador for the Gary Sinise Foundation. The Gary Sinise Foundation has provided my family and I with so much more than a home. It is our duty to continue to support our wounded service men and women and provide them with the necessary freedoms to continue life without limitations. I am honored to play a small part in such an influential organization.”
