A Hero’s Welcome — Army Captain's New Home Thanks to Gary Sinise

This Veteran's Day, we were honored to welcome U.S. Army Captain (Ret.) Tyson Quink home to his mortgage-free, specially adapted smart home built by the Gary Sinise Foundation. 🇺🇸 While deployed to Kandahar - one of the most dangerous regions of Afghanistan - Tyson was leading his platoon when an IED explosion took both of his legs below the knee. He was transported through multiple surgeries and a long, difficult recovery that tested not only his body but his spirit. “I had just left a combat zone where I was responsible for my soldiers’ lives, and now I was dependent on everyone around me,” Tyson recalled. Yet through every challenge, he’s continued to lead with strength, returning to West Point to guide and mentor the next generation of soldiers. Today, we’re proud to give back to this remarkable hero. “What Gary’s done for this Foundation for so many veterans and family members is amazing. There’s not enough words I can say to say thank you,” Tyson said. Tyson’s specially adapted smart home will give him and his wife, Tera, the independence and peace they deserve. 💙 Welcome home, Tyson, and thank you for your service.
