Brandon Long Honored with Mobility-Equipped Ford F150
Brandon Long, USMC (Ret) of St. Augustine, has been honored with a mobility-equipped 2021 Ford F150 XLT truck in gratitude for his service to the United States military. The recognition was bestowed on Long through donations to the independent nonprofit organization “Wounded Warriors Family Support”. Long was deployed to Afghanistan where he served on active duty from 2009-12.
On December 21, 2010, he stepped on a 40-pound Improvised Explosive Device while he was conducting a foot patrol in preparations of relocating his unit. The extent of his injuries was “severe” according to first reports. However, before reaching home, his family was told the chances of his survival were “extremely slim”.
