“I was going through an extremely difficult phase in my life and your comeback story after losing everything inspired me…wow…you know you are a champ when you get knocked down hard but still get back up…I am truly happy for you brother…(other veterans) need to know your story and what it took to get back. I am really proud of you for having the courage to do this. Even though you are a squid, we are brothers. Keep the press on!” – United States Army Infantry, West Point Graduate
