The Maui County Veterans Council meets the warriors and their families at Kahului Airport and provides them with a bag of Hawaii treats. The organization also sets up dinners and excursions, all donated by Maui vendors.

The veterans are being brought to Maui by the nonprofit organization Vacations for Warriors, based in Colorado. Since 2014, the organization has been sending wounded warriors on once-in-a-lifetime dream vacations to various destinations including Hawaii. Travel, lodging, activities and even spending money are included, according to the organization’s website.

Kruthoff did two tours in Iraq, in 2003 and 2005. In the last tour, he was severely injured by an improvised explosive device. As a result, he is blind in one eye and he suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, according to Vacations for Warriors.

Kruthoff has received the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart. His father served in Vietnam and he had a younger brother, Paul, who was in the Army. Kruthoff’s brother took his own life in November 2016 as a result of PTSD, the organization said.
