Montgomery welcomes home soldier with free LASIK

Montgomery welcomes home soldier with free LASIK

MONTGOMERY, Ala. – An army of friends deployed for Lt. Col. William T. Reeves Jr.  They made sure he would receive the free LASIK laser vision correction he always wanted, when the soldier of three wars returned home to Montgomery.

            Reeves won Primary Eyecare Associates' LASIK giveaway for "Hometown Heroes" late last year, when he still was serving in Afghanistan.  The Montgomery eye care practice has been donating LASIK to community heroes for three years.  Reeves received an unprecedented number of 330 votes from the public to be chosen.

            Now, Reeves is home and just received his LASIK surgery.  As a result, the veteran sees 20/10 – which is better than perfect 20/20 vision – without glasses or contacts, for the first time in 40 years.

MONTGOMERY, AL (WSFA) - A Montgomery boy has his friends to thank today for saving him from drowning.

According to the Montgomery Police Department, three 11-year-old boys were walking home from school near the Brewbaker Complex after they missed the bus when they attempted to cross a ditch with moving water. One of the boys lost his footing and fell into the water where he struggled to climb out.

One boy took off running back to school to call 9-1-1 for help. The boy on the bank was able to pull his friend toward a patch of debris in the ditch with a large branch which allowed his friend to get out of the water.

Police say the boy who fell into the water was not injured.
