It's an honor and a privilege to be able to talk about something near and dear to my heart.
Let's talk about some of the more recent operations that occurred.
You have guys going to Venezuela, taking out one of the most prolific drug dealers of our time.
These guys have a sense of purpose.
And when they leave military servitude and they no longer have that sense of purpose,
They sometimes are leaving with ailments, physical and mental.
But I believe it's that sense of purpose that you lose, that loss of community that often ends with my friends finding themselves on the street.
And a lot of them have proven themselves to have the capability to be independent and to be leaders in our organizations.
But when you lose that sense of purpose and that mission-driven ideology,
People do end up turning to drugs.
They do end up turning to alcoholism, lose their social support, and find themselves on the street.
I mean, there is a bravado within the military that we can take care of ourselves and we can take care of protect other people.
So when you find yourself down this path of drugs and alcohol and you find yourself in the street, it's hard to ask for help, right?
And what we try to do is offer a hand up
not a handout.
There's so many organizations out there that they're relying on government funding.
And someone who used to manage hundreds of millions of dollars in budgeting, there is this idea in the government that if you don't spend your budget, you'll lose your budget the next year.
So whether you are successful, you're efficient with those fundings,
That's one of the biggest detriments of government intervention.
I had the honor and the privilege to work here in Savannah, Georgia with a nonprofit called Union Mission.
