CAMPBELL COUNTY, Tenn. We first introduced you to Gary Polk - also known as Chops - in May. Despite being homeless, the Purple Heart U.S. Marine Corps veteran continued to make sacrifices for his community by way of his farms feeding those who cant feed themselves. Having that extra means a lot. I don t really know what else to tell you, it means more than I can even describe, said Stacey Wilson, a mom of four benefiting from the farm.
Purple Heart recipient Gary 'Chops' Polk, knows all about sacrifice. Now he's taking those lessons from war zones to the farm fields of East Tennessee.
