He and his brother are Air Force pararescuemen and his mom, dad, and stepdad are Air Force veterans. So the family knew the risk of getting the call that no one wants.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThey all remember where they were when they got the news that August, while attempting to pull a wounded soldier out of a firefight, suffered leg wounds from a burst of machinegun fire in Afghanistan. His mom, Deborah, got the news first and called her oldest son, Robert, to try and get news of what was happening.\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4ge-ezbSwFk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen title=\"Fisher House Serves Air Force Special Operator and His Loved Ones\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Robert was already on his way to his unit headquarters. \u201cI\u2019m backing out of the driveway. I see my mom calling on the cell phone. I knew something was wrong. I answered the phone. She was crying &#8230; \u2018Something\u2019s happened to August. I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on. Nobody\u2019s telling me anything.\u2019 Which is not how the process is supposed to work. And I just said, \u2018Stop. I\u2019m going into work. Those people will be able to get answers. I\u2019ll call you when I know something.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Robert was able to get news that his brother was alive, but it was bad. His unit immediately got him a flight to Landstuhl, Germany for him to be with August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo I packed a 36-hour bag. I had two children, and my wife was pregnant at the time. So I told her, \u2018Hey, I\u2019m going to meet Augie.\u2019 And you know, my wife was fully supportive. And I got on a plane.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He had medical knowledge and, when he saw the leg wounds, knew that August was in for a tough recovery. He sent news back to the family and, exhausted, settled into the hospital room to be close to his brother. He stayed there for about two days, sleeping in the chair, before being told about Fisher House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m sitting there, concerned about what August\u2019s life is going be like after this. When I initially heard Fisher House, I didn\u2019t know what that was.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Robert found convenient food, a safe place to stay near August, and comfort at the Landstuhl Fisher House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He was only the first member of the family to stay at a Fisher House and find comfort with the other families staying there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1709\" height=\"1140\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/22-10211-FHF_ONeill_0211.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-106189\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/22-10211-FHF_ONeill_0211.jpg.jpg 1709w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/22-10211-FHF_ONeill_0211.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/22-10211-FHF_ONeill_0211.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/22-10211-FHF_ONeill_0211.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/22-10211-FHF_ONeill_0211.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1025 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1709px) 100vw, 1709px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">August\u2019s injuries were bad enough that he spent three years attempting to rehabilitate his leg before opting for an amputation. Through about 20 surgeries, his mother, sisters, father, and stepfather all came to support him at hospitals in D.C. and Texas, usually staying at a nearby Fisher House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">August even got to join them in a Texas Fisher House. Knowing that his family was taken care of helped him focus on healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s comforting knowing that you are not a burden on people because that\u2019s the initial thought, right?\u201d August said. \u201cYou\u2019re used to being the savior, not the person that everybody\u2019s trying to fix.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2100\" height=\"1500\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ONiell-Dinner-02.png.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-106191\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ONiell-Dinner-02.png.png 2100w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ONiell-Dinner-02.png.png?resize=300,214 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ONiell-Dinner-02.png.png?resize=768,549 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ONiell-Dinner-02.png.png?resize=1024,731 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ONiell-Dinner-02.png.png?resize=1536,1097 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ONiell-Dinner-02.png.png?resize=2048,1463 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2100px) 100vw, 2100px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThem being [at Fisher House] where there were constantly people coming in and bringing food, there was constantly that community there, where they were able to talk to other family members that had been there a while.
