Okay, it's a poem about World War I, about a field of opium poppies called Flanders Fields and the Battle of Ypres in Belgium. But it's got lots of imagery in it. There's dead people. You know, there's beauty rising from the ashes. There's opium poppies, which is what heroin comes from.

which had originally been an e-commerce company selling parts, is now a company doing advertising for Leviathans in the gun space. And it took off pretty quickly. Well enough that after that little data company was acquired by a Fortune 500, and Robert was acquired in the acquisition with golden handcuffs, I was able to poach him away to bring him over to Black Rifle.

In March of 21, we filed to start Flanders. And the very first thing we did, oddly enough, was fly Sergeant Deaton back to fucking rehab. He had gone out and gotten addicted to crack and heroin just like I was. He went from paying pills to the same shit I did. And was, oddly enough, facing a lot of gun charges, too. It's weird how that one played out.

But anyway, we did our first good deed as Flanders Fields. And we're still waiting on IRS to approve it at this point. And in July of 2021... Um, our Marine Corps intelligence, uh, NCO hits me up about black rifle, about what we're doing. He finds it intriguing. Um, and, uh, so we started dialogue and I don't know, maybe on the 15th, he calls me and it's like, you want to do something crazy? Yeah.

Hell yeah, I do. I'm bored, you know? Um, We had, at this point, moved into our own house. We've got all the kids back. I think two of the kids I shared with Aaron have moved over to Georgia with us at this point. Lily and the twins stayed. And life's good. You know, we've got way more than we need, which is why we started the nonprofit.

Because historically, every time Jess and I have more than we need, we start making bad decisions with the excess. Except this time I'm working a program of recovery. And anyway... My answer to him was, hell yes, I'll do something crazy. And he goes, all right, cool. Well, I'll hit you up the next day or two. We're going to get some people out of Afghanistan.
