The Jacobetti Home for Veterans has received a top-of-the-line electric wheelchair. It was the gift of a VFW member from Crystal Falls.

The chair belonged to Richard Wheeler Jr., and according to officials at the home, a chair this expensive is a rare donation. His son wasn't able to personally deliver the chair, but his fellow VFW post members filled in.

Marvin Hill from Post 2891 says, "Well, we have a life member at the post, his name is Mike Wheeler, and his father had this chair and he passed on and his wishes were that this chair would go to a veterans home."

The chair will actually go to a vet at the home whose insurance won't cover this type of chair or who doesn't qualify for certain benefits.
