FOX 11's Marla Tellez spent Memorial Day Weekend jumping out of a plane with two Navy veterans who are dedicated to raising money for the family of fallen and disabled servicemembers through their organization Legacy Expeditions.I recently went skydiving for the first time, but the men who accompanied me have skydived thousands of times.
"It's a form of post-traumatic stress that is not talked about often, said Sarraille. "The booms and the bangs and dealing with the enemy that's not what bothered me. It's the fact that so many good women and men didn't come home."That's what inspired the two to turn their pain into purpose. In 2021, Sarraille and Kusk, along with retired Navy SEAL Andty Stumpf, formed Legacy Expeditions to honor those who gave their lives.
The veterans each year tackle what, for most, would be a mission impossible — like skydiving from the highest points in the Himalayas, or jumping across Iceland in 2022. This year, the group broke world records when they completed. The expeditions raised money for Folds of Honor, a non-profit that provides scholarships to families of America's fallen or disabled military and first responders.
Their goal is to raise $7 million to fund 1,400 scholarships. So far, they've raised almost half a million dollars.
