Actually, you have special forces with Air Force.

And so it's always kind of unique to get to see the interactions between everybody and the appreciation for one another.

And so, yeah, definitely.

Because of Brian stepping in here a couple years ago and really increasing the impact or the footprint on social media, we're starting to get folks from all over the place.

And in fact, last year we had veterans from the Midwest, I think from Florida.

Had a sniper platoon that's trying to come back.

They're from all over the, you know, Boston, New Mexico City, again, Florida.

And so we get folks from all over the place that we just tell them, get to Gray Falls, Montana.

We'll take care of the rest in regards to how much money that we can, you know, afford to put towards the program because we pay for, you know, zero cost to the veteran.

other than travel.

And sometimes we can help out with that as well, depending on the budget, you know, we've got our scholarship program, um, and depending on the needs of the veteran.

Um, but yeah, we, um, males, females, any MOS, uh, and this year we're going to be doing our first year where we take, uh, spouses as well, um, which is a underserved cohort of the veteran community.

We can pull it off.

I'm excited to do this.

Yeah, there is importance with ritual.

There is importance with ritual, right?

Generally at the end of our trips, there's a component in which feelings are shared, right?

Like you tell me about your trauma.
