Tyler is one of those, you know.
In fact, Tyler Vargas Andrews, when he β
When he was first wounded in that stupid withdrawal, I reached out pretty quickly to the hospital to find out what was going on with our wounded.
and talked to his mom and started communicating with his mom because he couldn't really communicate.
And I wanted her to know that there were services that we could provide should he need that.
And I'm glad that eventually he came around to applying for the program.
You know, he sacrificed a lot.
And we want to do something to give back to them.
So we have a couple of our wounded from the Abbey Gate
uh mess that um we're building for um we probably have 20 in the queue right now i mean we thought maybe this was going to start to wind down a little bit we wouldn't there wouldn't be as much of a need for us to build these specially adapted smart technology houses for badly wounded service members but
There are a lot of needs out there.
So I don't want to be somebody who says no a lot.
So we have a pretty vigorous program and we're trying to provide those services on multiple fronts to help a lot of different people.
We've had World War II programs for World War II veterans.
We just β we're taking a bunch of Rosie the Riveters down to the New Orleans to the National World War II Museum.
Wherever we can serve those who have served and defended and protected us, that's where I want my foundation to place its efforts.
and i'm uh i feel blessed that the american people have kind of uh put their trust in us uh you know send us their donations or you know they help us if we have a special project or something like we'll we'll have a a disaster a hurricane or something like that our national guard starts going in helping well we we back them up
We'll go in with disaster relief stuff to help them help the people.
So we're operating on a lot of different areas, mainly focused, of course, on supporting first responders, supporting our veterans, supporting our active duty, supporting our families of our fallen, you know, wherever we can place our hands and wrap our arms around these people.
That's
