Zackary Trissell is a part of the Air National Guard and was deployed to Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait for nine months. He has returned back home Feb. 3 from deployment. While a soldier is deployed, they can send a message or a short video back home to their families.
Trissell thought of a way to do something different from the typical message. He has three step children and before leaving on the deployment, he was given three Lego people by his child Matthew. Matthew has muscular dystrophy.
Muscular dystrophy is a genetic disorder that weakens your muscles making it hard o do everyday tasks. Walking is a task that is hard to do for them so most people with MD are in wheelchairs.
Using Legos, Trissell took pictures of them with pilots in a cockpit and in front of a Humvee.
