How are you Still Serving?

I own a business and collaborate and serve veterans among other clients. I've also started writing songs. One of the songs was in response to challenges my friends are facing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Bf6zW5k6NA

Why do you do it?

Back then, the nation was at a point where it seemed as if we were strongly united. I grew up in the 80s and wanted nothing more to serve my country. It was a family tradition that went all the way back to the American Revolution. But, times have changed.

I was blessed with serving with some of the most remarkable people you will ever see. I had some experiences I would have never otherwise had, and it made me a better person. I served to help keep our nation strong, and hope we will all come back together.
