Disabled Veteran Converts Wheelchair into Snow Plow to Help Town (WATCH)

Disabled Veteran Converts Wheelchair into Snow Plow to Help Town (WATCH)
This wounded warrior turned his off-road wheelchair into a snowplow, clearing sidewalks and paying it forward to supportive neighbors.

A one-legged, Iraq War veteran has taken it upon himself to clear sidewalks in his snowy Nebraska community — and he does it with his wheelchair.

But this is not your typical wheelchair.

The motorized monster, with tank treads instead of wheels, was supposed to be for off-road adventure but Anderson decided last year to turn it into a machine of goodwill.

He added a snow blade that he can adjust to different levels and he says it only takes a couple of hours after a typical Omaha snowfall to blaze a trail along the sidewalks to the local elementary school.

The easy-going vet, with a personalized license plate on his pick-up reading "HOPALONG," brushes aside the praise as easily as his snowplow-wheelchair clears the slush.

He calls the chore "very gratifying," because it gives him a chance to pay it forward to a community that supported him as a wounded warrior coming home.
