YOU.
DAVID: HISTORY COULD BE MADE
ONCE AGAIN.
JUSTIFY IS LOOKING TO TAKE HOME
THE TRIPLE CROWN TOMORROW NIGHT
AT BELMONT STAKES.
AFTER WINNING THE KENTUCKY DERBY
AND PREAKNESS.
ONLY WOULD BE 13th HORSE TO
EVER DO SO.
THERE IS PURSE OF 1 1/2 MILLION
DOLLARS ON THE LINE.
JUSTIFY HAS EARNED ROUGHLY
3 MILLION BUCKS IN FIVE CAREER
RACES, TAKING FIRST PLACE IN
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.
MELISSA.
MELISSA: THAT IS A GORGEOUS
HORSE.
ONE HORSE GIVING JUSTIFY A RUN
FOR HIS MONEY.
TENFOLD IS A 3-YEAR-OLD COLT WHO
FEET FINISHED THIRD IN MAY.
IT REPRESENTS A LARGER CAUSE,
HOME FOR OUR TROOPS.
AN ORGANIZATION THAT BUILDS
ADAPTIVE HOMES FOR OUR COUNTRY'S
INJURED VETERANS.
WE HAVE THE PRESIDENT AND CEO.
LUKE MURPHY IS UNITED STATES
ARMY VETERAN.
THANKS TO BOTH OF YOU FOR
JOINING US.
LOOK, LET ME ASK YOU FIRST, TALK
TO ME ABOUT THIS ORGANIZATION
AND THE MEANINGFUL WORK THAT IT
DOES FOR OUR VETS?
>> WELL, THANK YOU, FOR HAVING
US, MELISSA, AND THANK YOU TO
JETS FOR SPONSORING US.
THIS ORGANIZATION TAKES CARE OF
WORST WOUNDED VETERANS WE HAVE,
AMPUTEES, PARALYZED, THE BLIND.
IT IS UNBELIEVABLE ORGANIZATION.
THEY DON'T JUST GIVE YOU A KEY
TO HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE HOME FOR
FREE.
THEY SET YOU UP WITH FINANCIAL
PLANNING.
YOU BECOME A FAMILY MEMBER OF
THIS ORGANIZATION.
IT'S FOREVER.
NEARLY 90 CENTS OF EVERY DOLLAR
GOING TO IT, I THINK OUR
PARTNERSHIP SPEAKS VOLUMES TO
QUALITY OF BOTH ORGANIZATIONS.
>> WHAT HAS YOUR EXPERIENCE BEEN
WITH THE ORGANIZATION IN YOUR
OWN LIFE?
>> IT HAS BEEN THE BEST.
SINCE I WAS INJURED 12 YEARS AGO
IN IRAQ DUE TO A IRANIAN-MADE
IED, I HELPED A LOT OF
ORGANIZATIONS BUT HOMES FOR OUR
TROOPS HAS MADE THE BIGGEST
IMPACT TO ME AND, AT LEAST 253
OTHER VETERANS THAT I KNOW.
I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE CARE
ABOUT ALL THE VETERANS BUT IF
YOU TRULY CARE ABOUT THE WORST
WOUNDED, HOMES FOR OUR TROOPS
CERTAINLY MAKES THE BIGGEST
IMPACT IN MY OPINION.
MELISSA: ANDREW, WHY THIS
ORGANIZATION AN WHY THIS WAY OF
SPONSORING?
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THIS RACE
AND THIS HORSE IS THE BEST WAY
TO GET THE WORD OUT?
>> WE TRY TO BE A VERY
THOUGHTFUL COMPANY.
I THINK WHEN IT COMES TO
PARTNERSHIPS AND SPONSORSHIPS
YOU CAN SLAP A LOGO ON SOMETHING
AND HOPE YOU GAIN EXPOSURE OR
SOME THINGS LIKE THAT.
AS THE LARGEST PRIVATE AVIATION
COMPANY OR ONE OF THEM IN THE
UNITED STATES, WE'RE OFFERED A
LOT OF THINGS TO GET INVOLVE
WITH.
WE'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN THOROUGH
BRED RACING 10 YEARS NOW.
A FRIEND OF OURS HIGHLIGHTED
WINCHELL RACING WAS DOING
SOMETHING FOR ORGANIZATION,
HOMES FOR OUR TROOPS.
AS SOON AS WE HEARD ABOUT IT WE
THOUGHT WE SHOULD BE INVOLVED IN
AND REPAY THE DEBT THAT OUR
VETERANS ARE DO AND JUMPED AT
IT.
COULDN'T BE HAPPIER WITH THE
GROUP AND MANY OF THE FOLKS WE
ARE ENGAGED WITH.
MELISSA: LUKE, FOR PEOPLE OUT
THERE THAT WANT TO GET INVOLVED,
WHAT CAN THEY DO?
>> LOOK US UP.
I HOPE YOU A AMERICANS WOULD BE
GOOD STEWARDS WHAT THEY HAVE
BEEN GIVEN, DO THEIR DILIGENCE.
WE'RE NOT JUST A LOGO.
WE'RE SPENDING 90 CENTS OF EVERY
DOLLAR.
WE'RE IMPACTING SOLDIERS LIVES.
OVER 253 COMMUNITIES WERE
TOUCHED IN THIS COUNTRY.
OVER 253 MAMAS HAD RECEIVE OR
WORRY ABOUT THEIR SOLDIERS OR
MARINES SITUATION.
AND I TRULY BELIEVE THIS IS
PROBABLY THE BEST VETERAN
PHILANTHROPY IN THE COUNTRY.
MELISSA: ANDREW, ARE YOU EXCITED
ABOUT THE RACE ITSELF?
WHAT DO YOU THINK OUR HORSE'S
CHANCES THERE?
>> I THINK TENFOLD HAS A GREAT
CHANCE.
I'M A BIG FAN OF JUSTIFY BUT AT
THE END OF THE DAY I'M PULLING
FOR TENFOLD.
WE LOVE HOMES FOR OUR TROOPS.
WE HOPE BECAUSE IT IS TRIPLE
CROWN STAGE, BRINGS A LOT OF
VISIBILITY TO HOMES FOR OUR
TROOPS.
WE COULDN'T BE MORE GRATEFUL TO
BE INVOLVED WITH IT.
MELISSA: LUKE, DO YOU FOLLOW
HORSE RACING AT ALL?
THERE IS A LOT OF BUZZ AROUND
JUSTIFY, BUT I GOT TO TELL YOU
YOUR HORSE LOOKS PRETTY GOOD
THERE.
>> OH, YEAH, NEVER BELIEVE THE
BUZZ, THAT IS FAKE NEWS.
TENFOLD WILL WIN HANDS DOWN.
I'M SO HAPPY THEY HAVE CHOSEN TO
PARTNER WITH US.
THIS HAS GIVEN A LOT OF WOUNDED
GUYS HOPE AND A PLATFORM TO
REALLY LAUNCH AND ACHIEVE THEIR
TRUE POTENTIAL.
WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT TAKERS.
SOLDIERS, MARINES, ALL
SERVICEMEN ARE GIVERS.
I GAVE MY RIGHT LEG TO THIS
COUNTRY.
IT DOESN'T STOP THERE.
I WANT TO KEEP GIVING.
I'M SO PROUD TO BE PART OF IT.
MELISSA: BLESS YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR
SERVICE AND FOR EVERYBODY OUT
THERE.
IT IS HOMES FOR OUR TROOPS.
