Travis Mills is at it again. The retired staff sergeant and quadruple amputee announced last week that his organization -- the Travis Mills Foundation -- purchased the Maine Chance Lodge in Rome, Maine, and plans to convert it into a retreat for veterans with disabilities and their families, WCSH 6 News reported. The Travis Mills Foundation Retreat (TMF), which will be able to accommodate up to 10 families at a time, allows for veterans with disabilities to "recover, relax and enjoy a wide range of adaptive sports and activities" -- like kayaking, fishing and swimming -- Mills told the outlet, helping them heal physically and emotionally. "We just really want to give back to the veterans," Mills said.
