Breaking News...Thanksgiving 2010...New Denver Hero!
On Wednesday, December 1st, Fox 31 News reported a story about Gabe Martinez, a 2007 FCA Graduate, who was serving in the Marines in Afghanistan when he lost both of his legs on Thanksgiving. He was initially transported to Germany and then to a hospital in Maryland for treatment.
The news media met his mother, Kay, and her family at the airport on Wednesday morning before they left for Maryland to meet Gabe.
They call Gabe our New Denver Hero! In the story, Kay mentions a choice that Gabe said God had given him. God specifically asked Gabe a question immediately after the explosion. You will be very blessed to see her interview! Kay, even in the most difficult circumstances, tells the story like it is with pain close to her heart but no complaining or anger, just a mother's relief to hear her son's voice on the phone.

Gabe should fully recover, but it is uncertain exactly when he will be returning home to Denver. When he does return, please consider coming to the Denver International Airport to welcome our new Denver Hero home. The media will be following his story and will let us know the date and time of his arrival. CBS News has also asked for an interview when they return home.
CBS News would like to announce contact information for any fund that has been set up to support the Martinez family. As of today, there has been a fund set up in Gabe's name at any Wells Fargo Bank. Contributions must be written to the Gabriel Martinez Fund.
God is certainly hearing our prayers! We will submit this entire situation to the hands of God and our ongoing prayers will be a constant covering for God to do His work, completing wholeness back to Gabe even in greater measure.
In His Love,
FCA Partners In Prayer
