It's a love story nearly a decade in the making. James and Deanna were friends for years before they started dating in 2016, after he joined the Army.

"We got married in September, and this is our first deployment together, so we had no idea what to expect," said Deanna Kerr.

James deployed to Europe about four months ago.

"I never really felt like I was dependent, but I kind of learned that I've kind of lost touch of doing things by myself," said Kerr.

But there's one thing she won't have to worry about: the backbreaking task of shoveling snow.

"A lot of times, people want to do those things by themselves because they can and want to know they can do it. But it gets super stressful, and there's so many other things to worry about," said Kerr.

Thanks to SnowCare for Troops, she doesn't have to worry. It's a national effort to connect local snow plow companies with families who either have a loved one deployed -- or a veteran, with a post-9/11, service-connected disability.

"I've been plowing for 40 years. That's a long time. That's a few winters," said Judy Weigand, who owns Judy's Landscaping.

For Weigand, it was an easy decision to help out, even though all services are provided free of charge.

"I feel it's kind of a small thing I can do really, but if it's one less thing that they have to worry about, then that's great. I'm happy to do it," said Weigand.

“They’re serving our country, and we need to do things at home here for them."

And volunteers don't stop with snow removal in the winter—they come back to take care of the lawn and garden when it warms up.

"She is great. The services are great, and it's one less thing that I have to worry about, especially with the spring coming up and having to clean all the gardens. It will be really nice to have that go and help me," said Kerr.
