It’s actually incredible to see that after sacrificing so much while serving the country — veterans still find it in themselves to support their fellow soldiers.
Jamie Willis, 50 is a Desert Storm vet who suffered a back injury during his eight years of service.
After the Veterans Affairs hospital gave him a diagnosis of 100-percent disability, Willis has since relied on a cane to walk — and it has inspired his non-profit, Canes for Veterans Central Texas.
Willis started making canes out of recycled Christmas trees back in 2016. Since then, he’s made more than 200 and given them all away.
