RALEIGH, N.C. — Quinn King makes sure every board, cut and screw is just right on his ramp projects, but it's not because of money — he's got another motive.

“A love for the veterans for sure," King said. "And that’s what we do it for, for handicap veterans.”

King works with Military Missions in Action, bringing accessible options to veterans' homes. 

He has been doing this kind of work for more than 30 years, and he has no plans of slowing down.

“I’ll be 81 in July, 81," King said. "If the good Lord lets me keep going, I’m trying to mentor one of my guys that accepts this job and take over for me.” 

King doesn’t think the spotlight should be on him during these projects, but rather on the men and women he’s building these ramps for. 

Charlie Stroud, a six-year Air Force veteran, used to build ramps like these for others, but now Military Missions in Action is building one for him. 

“When they said they wanted to do it for me, I couldn’t put my arms around it," Stroud said. 

Stroud says at 84, he’s still in good shape, but he admits he might need to slow down just a bit.

“I try to go to the gym and work out three times a week and keep in shape a little bit better," Stroud said. "But this is, to me, just amazing. It’s absolutely amazing.” 

These volunteers show up for projects big and small. 

King says they don’t stop until the job's done right, even if the sun is setting after hours of work.

“We had one the other day that was a 52-foot one," King said. "We worked from 8 o’clock in the morning to after seven at night. We were all pretty well give out by that time.” 

With every board set, the final product comes together. The 34-foot ramp is going to make Stroud's life much easier. 

“I really appreciate what they’ve done," Stroud said. "I’m most undeserving, but thank the good Lord it’s done.” 

The ramp even passes the walking tests, according to Stroud.

“Absolutely man, it doesn’t shake," Stroud said. "It’s solid as a rock.”
