SSG Arthur (Bunky) Woods


Warren County, VA

Bunky Woods Home

SSG Arthur (Bunky) Woods was returning to his base in Iraq when his platoon stopped to investigate suspicious activity in August 2006. As SSG Woods was directing his platoon, a sniper’s bullet entered the back of his neck, exiting out through his jaw. During the next surreal moments, SGG Woods’ men worked desperately to save his life. He watched the world happening around him as he was loaded into a HUMVEE for evacuation; hearing his platoon members begging him to hold on.

SSG Woods’ next recollection is waking up at Walter Reed, his family by his side; not yet knowing he had first been taken to a hospital in Iraq before being flown to Germany where he was stabilized at Landstuhl and then airlifted stateside. The attack left Bunky paralyzed from the shoulders down.

SSG Woods enjoys watching sports, reading, attending church, and spending time with his family. He presently is enrolled in three college classes and looks forward to graduating, getting married, raising a family and living a more normal life.

When asked what he would like to say to his supporters he replies, "It is people like you who make America great!", and then quotes Adlai Stevenson, "Patriotism is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime."

Homes for Our Troops is proud to have presented this beautiful home to SSG Bunk Woods. A home that he can call his own and that will allow him to move freely and become more independent.
