Wanting to be on active duty after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, he re-enlisted as a Soldier to serve his country in a more meaningful way. Munoz completed training at Fort Sam Houston and became a combat medic. He has had three deployments from 2004-2012, serving in Iraq and at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base. He has earned multiple awards including an Army Commendation Medal with Valor and a Combat Medic Badge. He medically retired from the U.S. Army in August 2015. Munoz is rated 90 percent disabled by the VA and suffers from nerve damage, post-traumatic stress and other combat-related injuries.

In addition to partnering with military service organizations such as Freedom Alliance, U.S. Bank supports veterans and military family members through Proud to Serve, an employee-led business resource group. Through Proud to Serve, each new hire is personally welcomed by leaders who are also veterans. Employees are also encouraged to use internal social networking forums to connect, network and share stories. U.S. Bank hired more than 500 veterans in 2016 and currently employs approximately 2,000 veterans.

"Javier Munoz is an incredible young man who loves our country and loved serving in our military. He has seen and been through a great deal, lost friends and made tremendous sacrifices. This home donation will help him build a strong foundation for his future and provide security for his family. We're thrilled to assist Javier in his transition to a fulfilling civilian life, in which he pursues new dreams and aspirations," said President of Freedom Alliance, Tom Kilgannon. "We are proud of our partnership with U.S. Bank," Kilgannon added, "we could not do this without them, a great company committed to America's veterans."
