[WRE | SPOTLIGHT]
Sformo: Tat’s right. I’ve utilized many of my connections I’d established in sales and radio to create a network around the country, from medical experts to pro sports trainers to politicians, who are willing to invest in this organization so that American service members can get the specialized care they deserve, without the complications or the costs. I truly believe that if you have the resources and the talent around you, you should use it to help people that don’t have these opportunities. And that’s what Operation Backbone is trying to accomplish every day. y
Sformo: I did. After the injury to my neck and back, I realized how costly, stressful, and overwhelming some of these medical processes can be on our wounded soldiers and their families. I created Operation Backbone as a way to help our active duty and veterans get the specialized care they need for brain and spine injuries—without the confusion and uncertainty, the bureaucracy, or the costs.
WRE: You’ve worked tirelessly since 2012 to create a non- profit that allows for this specialized care, free of charge.
— Operation Backbone’s focus is to provide possible alternatives by collaborating with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, as well as the active military branch commands around the world, to assist and treat battlefield injuries sustained in the defense of freedom. Operation Backbone is currently looking to add crane and wire rope companies to their corporate partner family—to further the level of support they can provide to our wounded servicemen and women.
