Carrie’s Army career abruptly ended because of an automobile accident that left her an amputee.  Carrie was medically retired in November of 1995, leaving behind a Military career she greatly enjoyed.

With a passion to continue to serve her former military family and others, and with no expectation of any personal benefit, Carrie volunteered to be a test subject helping DEKA Research develop and design the most advanced robotic human-controlled prosthetic arm in history.

To Carrie’s great surprise, Independence Corps reached out to her and told her she was our first candidate for her own Luke Arm.

Our (Marcia and Gary) beloved older son, Seth David Lawson, Born Sept 19, 1978, Died too young, April 20, 2014.Seth stood behind our mission, volunteering countless hours and he helped design all of Huey 091’s communication and marketing materials. He scripted the iBOT Restart video voiced by our dear friend Gary Sinise and filmed by Bob Vincent. We will miss you son more than you could imagine. All of the work I continue to do, I dedicate to my wife and our two loving sons, Seth and Aaron. Gary Lawson, Co-Founder.

Come on, join us and help restore independence and dignity to disabled veterans and first responders that comes with greater mobility.

We thank Dean Kamen, & DEKA Research for reinventing the iBOT and putting their new iBOT into production through Mobius Mobility  http://mobiusmobility.com/.

You can still be part of the solution, helping us restore a veteran or first responder’s Independence. We gave Army Veteran Daniel Miller who lost both lower legs in 2009 in Iraq his brand new iBOT and Daniel and Ed Beesley threw out the first pitch at the June 12 Veterans and Celebrity Baseball games at Texas Rangers’ Globe Life Field. Please make a donation today.

If you are a civilian, contact lmerrow@mobiusmobility.com about getting a new iBOT.

If you are a veteran or injured first responder, contact gary.lawson@independencecorps.org about being considered by Independence Corps for a new iBOT.

Independence Corps, in concert with one of our donors, Warfighter Hemp, a largely veteran owned and operated vendor of CBD products, tasked its Hemp farm to produce CDC compliant Hand Sanitizers. Independence Corps is accepting donations earmarked exclusively by donors to buy and distribute to fire, police departments and medical facilities in a number of U.S. Cities to help protect these first responders on the front line of this war with Covid-19.
