July 6, 2021

Wounded Warriors Family Support presented Mark Zambon of Carmichael, California, with a 2021 F-150 XLT Ford mobility-equipped vehicle. Mark was born and raised in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. In January 2011, Mark was in Afghanistan, on his sixth combat deployment as an explosive ordnance disposal technician, when he took a step and heard the ominous click. His legs were severed above his knees, his arm was shattered. Within days he was airlifted to the military hospital in Landstuhl, Germany. Mark was medically retired from the U.S. Marine Corps, where he served on active duty from 2003-2014.
