Lance Corporal Peterson and Den 12 Cub Scouts at the Build Brigade
We need your help!
While on his second deployment, Marine Special Forces, Lance Corporal Daniel Peterson was left a double amputee after an explosion in the Southern Helmand Province of Afghanistan on July 24, 2010. Returning from a classified mission, the Special Forces Team was making their way along a tree line while returning to base when a bomb exploded, hurling LCpl Peterson more than ten feet into the air. Landing in the crater created by the explosion, Daniel immediately knew he was seriously injured. Suffering traumatic amputations to both of his legs, LCpl Peterson also had a
fractured pelvis; the broken bones and shrapnel from the blast causing further internal injuries as he awaited aid. Placing tourniquets on his own legs, LCpl Peterson was then treated by the Corpsman as his team carried him away from the tree line and prepared him for the MEDEVAC. Initially transported to Camp Dwyer, a twenty minute helicopter ride, he was later airlifted to Landstuhl, Germany before beginning his treatments at multiple hospitals state-side including: Bethesda Naval Medical Center, Palo Alto Rehab Hospital, Balboa Naval Hospital, and Brooke Army Medical Center where he continues receiving therapies at this time.
While Homes for Our Troops provides a home, it will be empty. That’s why Cub Scout Tiger Den 12 and Rolling Thunder® TX2, a non-profit organization, have teamed up to raise $20,000.00. We will use these funds to furnish Lance Corporal Peterson’s home and stock his pantry. Your Donations will help us help Lance Corporal Peterson! Den 12 knows that with your support we CAN and WILL furnish his home and stock his pantry.
