Homes for Our Troops is a non-profit organization that provides specially adapted homes for severely injured veterans at no cost to them. They assist severely injured Servicemen and Women and their immediate families by raising donations of money, building materials and professional labor and then coordinating the process of building a new home or adapting an existing home for handicapped accessibility.

"Cobra has been a proud and long time supporter of our armed forces and our servicemen and women," said Jim Bazet, CEO and Chairman of Cobra Electronics. "This is our opportunity to give something back to them for all the sacrifices they had made for us."

"Homes for Our Troops is honored to be the beneficiary of this tremendous fundraising effort by Cobra Electronics. Our success in providing severely injured veterans with homes specially designed to give back the freedom and independence they once knew, relies on the support of our corporate friends across the country. Cobra Electronics is one of those friends that understands the importance of supporting our American heroes and we thank them."

Cobra has a long history of supporting our troops through product donations as well as employee driven programs such as bake sales, raffles, and care packages for our soldiers. In August of 2009, Cobra introduced its 29 LTD ARMY radio, a U.S. Army co-branded CB radio and officially licensed product of the U.S. Army as a salute to our American troops.
