So I was in and out of Afghanistan and Iraq from 2001 to 2014.
And I am very happy to support and celebrate veterans.
And for all those who served in every branch of service,
living and dead, and also the families of veterans who sacrificed so much when the veterans went off to war.
The families, I don't think they get thanked enough for the sacrifices they've made for being home alone and not knowing that their spouses are going to come home from these wars.
I'm just happy to be here and happy to celebrate this.
Of course, on the coffee, we're having a Veterans Day sale, but that's not...
The reason I'm here, I just wanted to celebrate veterans and celebrate the sacrifice for all the men and women.
I agree with you a hundred percent, Steve.
Last week I was out at Salt Lake city.
I was part of a veterans group called warrior rising and they, it's basically like a shark tank for veterans.
I went through their program a few, few, few years ago, but they invited me out to pitch shields in Salt Lake city.
I did that last Friday, but we need more groups like this that support veteran entrepreneurs.
And not only that, but like you were saying, the PTSD stuff, guys are still killing themselves in record numbers.
And,
there's not enough help out there.
And the, the veteran, the VA, the veterans administration, you know, they're still throwing these antidepressants and all this stuff at guys.
And, you know, I did hyperbaric oxygen therapy that helped with my, I had a lot of brain injuries that helped with that a lot.
Like it was like night and day difference.
And then for the PTSD stuff, I didn't even know I had that.
