Warrior Family Advocates For Others With Veterans Charity
DENVER, Aug. 23, 2018 -- Matt and Tracy Keil are not your typical veteran family. The parents of bubbly seven-year-old twins enjoy their life in a Denver suburb. Little Matt and Faith enjoy school and playing with foam dart guns. But the family has spent many days as strong advocates for the veterans community.
They had to.
Six weeks after Matt and Tracy married, a sniper bullet struck Matt's neck. His left arm is the only thing he can move from the chest down.
