Gordon Lundgren Funeral Information

On Thursday June 1, 2017 the Shenandoah Elks Lodge hosted Tyson Scott from Wounded Warriors in Action Foundation.  Tyson brought the hunting blind that was purchased with funds from the Freedom Grant through the Elks National Foundation.  Tyson reported that in 2015 82 events with 300 Wounded Warriors were held in North America and one Wounded Warrior was able to attend an African Safari hunt as well.  Tyson reported that $.93 of every $1.00 donated to WWIA goes to support the activities involving Wounded Warriors.

Tyson Scott joined the United States Marine Corps in July of 2003 and served just under 10 years. As a Staff Sergeant, Tyson held various positions at Camp Pendleton, California, as well as a recruiting duty tour in South Houston until late 2012. During Tyson’s first deployment to Iraq in 2006, in support of the CASEVAC mission, a 120mm mortar landed a couple feet away, causing injuries for which he received his Purple Heart. Since leaving the Marine Corps in late 2012, Tyson moved home to Amarillo, TX. He worked for Bell helicopter building V/CV-22’s for the Marine Corps and Air Force.

Tyson became a WWIA Associate in 2015 and travels the country serving his fellow Wounded Warriors. He is an avid outdoorsman who loves to hunt and fish whenever he can.

A nice crowd of Elk Members were present to view the hunting blind at the Lodge.
