American Airlines Partners With SoldierSocks to Help Veterans Walk Again
July 10 2014 - 7:00AM
Not-for-profit SoldierSocks announced today that American Airlines
has become the official airline of SoldierSocks. American Airlines
will support the transportation needs of a representative
from SoldierSocks and a veteran with spinal cord injuries to fly to
Veteran's Hospitals across the U.S. to demonstrate how an Ekso™
(OTCQB:EKSO) robotic exoskeleton can help veterans living with
spinal cord injury, stroke and other neurological conditions walk
again. Ekso™ is a ready-to-wear, battery-powered bionic suit - or
exoskeleton - which enables individuals with lower extremity
paralysis to stand up and walk.
"We are honored to have American Airlines as a corporate
sponsor. Their contribution will play a vital role in helping
SoldierSocks assist our nation's heroes," said SoldierSocks
founder, Chris Meek. "Together, we can help our service members
literally take their next step forward."
About SoldierSocks
SoldierSocks was founded in 2009 to provide basic necessities
such as baby wipes, socks and sunscreen to American soldiers
fighting for our country in the trenches of Afghanistan and Iraq.
As more of our soldiers return home to the U.S., SoldierSocks
continues to assist our nation's heroes in re-acclimating to
civilian life by offering scholarships for colleges and trade
schools and offering paralyzed soldiers an opportunity to gain
mobility outside of a wheelchair.
