Toby Keith, Independence Fund Donate All-Terrain Trackchair To Wounded Pittsburgh Veteran

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Before country star Toby Keith hit the stage at Highmark Stadium Friday night, he had a surprise for a local veteran.

Brandon Rumbaugh, a Marine veteran, was wounded in Afghanistan when he stepped on an IED and lost both of his legs. Rumbaugh has since been fitted with two prosthetic legs and has become a motivational speaker.

In coordination with the Independence Fund, Toby Keith presented Rumbaugh with an all-terrain trackchair. The $16,000 adaptive wheelchair will help him get around much easier.

Rumbaugh was also commended by the Marines with a commendation medal for valor.
