GRANITEVILLE, N.Y. (WABC) -- Michael Solsona of Graniteville, Staten Island, is a veteran who lost his legs above the knee after stepping on a land mine in Vietnam. Solsona has been confined to a wheelchair since the incident, and even after repeated inquiries to the Veterans Administration office, he has still not been provided a new chair.

Solsona depends on his wheelchair to get around but it's always dependable.

Last week, he was shopping at the Lowe's home improvement store on Forest Avenue when he felt it give way.

"I said, 'Oh no Michael, what are we going to do? We don't have any tools. And he said, 'Hello are you crazy? We're in Lowes. We're in the tool capitol of the world!'" said Frieda Solsona, Michael's wife.

The Solsona's planned to fix the wheelchair themselves at home.

But three Lowe's associates weren't having it.

"They tore the wheelchair apart. They tried all different types of bolts," Michael Solsona said, "I was thanking them and they said you're not leaving here until the wheelchair is like new."
