text: My good friend, Eric Marts ÛÒ a blind veteran who hosts Heroes of the Heartland on WDAY 970 radio (you can tune in Saturday mornings at 11:00amCT) -- has overcome obstacles that I canÛªt begin image. Seven years ago, Eric was hit by a roadside bomb while deployed in Iraq and soon after lost vision in both of his eyes. He is a great man, who is working hard to support fellow veterans, and discuss the challenges facing veterans today ÛÒ whether itÛªs issues with the VA health care system or adjusting to life after deployment. IÛªm thrilled that Eric and his wife, Bobbie, will soon be able to move out of their trailer and into a house big enough for the two of them, and with features to help Eric do things on his own courtesy of Homes for our Troops. Watch Eric and BobbieÛªs inspiring story below.
