Story summary

Woody Johnson, the owner of the New York Jets, is being honored at the annual gala of the organization Tunnel to Towers. This recognition comes after a decade-long partnership between Johnson and Tunnel to Towers, which was founded in 2001 to aid 9/11 first responders, veterans, and their families. Through this partnership, six catastrophically injured veterans are now living in specially adapted smart homes thanks to donations from Johnson's Betty Wood Johnson Foundation. Johnson donated $1 million to the group's Building for America’s Bravest program in 2014, and recently surprised Command Sergeant Major William "Bud" McElroy with a new mortgage-free smart home. Tunnel to Towers also provides housing for homeless veterans.
