CHICAGO, Sept. 22, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SoldierSocks, one of the fastest growing veterans' organizations in the nation, will be honored by the Chicago Cubs for its work to provide advanced rehabilitation technology to help post-9/11 injured veterans take their next steps forward back on America soil. The organization, together with a local injured veteran, will be recognized at the Cubs/Brewers game on Tuesday, September 22 at Wrigley Field. During the game, Chris Meek, co-founder and CEO of SoldierSocks, will join Matt Ross, an injured war veteran who has gone through rehabilitation using an Ekso GT™ robotic exoskeleton, which has ultimately helped him relearn to walk on his own again.
