The Patriot Guard Riders have been invited to participate in a Community Kickoff event for the new home build for Marine Cpl Zac Dinsmor on Saturday, 9-March, 9:30AM in Mead, CO.

In 2011, Corporal Dinsmore deployed on his second combat tour with the 3rd Battalion, 7th Marines. While serving as a team leader on this deployment, he was instrumental in saving HFOT home recipient Sgt Milan Franklin’s life. Two weeks later, on Oct. 31, 2011, Zac stepped on an improvised explosive device (IED) in Sangin, Afghanistan. The IED partially exploded since it was wet from the rain, but it was enough to shatter Cpl Dinsmore’s leg from the knee down. In 2014, after years of enduring numerous surgeries and rigorous therapies to salvage his leg, Zac made the decision to have doctors amputate the limb. Today, Zachary still copes with skin issues from wearing prosthetics, but his overall pain level has decreased and he has more mobility.
