Odys served over 11 years in the U.S. Army National Guard. He went on active duty February 2009 where he then spent 10 months overseas duty in Iraq. After returning home and being Honorably Discharged, Odys started showing symptoms of injuries received in a blast of an enemy munition. The cost and time of travel to and from Womack Army Hospital has caused Odys' wife to be unable to work. This has caused a financial hardship on the family. While the Army and VA are working to get Odys into Warrior Transition, the NC Heroes Fund was honored to help this family with some of their immediate needs.
