Cahill was deployed to Afghanistan in 2010 and during his deployment he was wounded in action and received the Purple Heart. He was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army in May 2019. Cahill currently resides in Andover, Minn. with his family.

He was chosen to receive this life-changing gift after applying to our Transportation4Heroes program. The application has a rigorous vetting process to ensure that the veteran chosen to receive a vehicle is the best recipient to participate in the program. We work with the veteran to ensure that the gift of a payment-free vehicle assists them in their successful transition out of the military and into their new civilian life.
