Last year I made it public that I founded a Veteran’s charity on LinkedIn, even though I had never served in the Military.
I remember writing my headline 100 times until I finally came up with “Founder I Wanna Give Back (IWGB) 501c3 serving Veterans”.
OMG…Had I made a mistake? Was #PatrickMcNamara gonna show up at my door and kick my a$$? Get sum!
Suddenly I felt a million red dots on my cranial ocular cavity.
My mind raced, I heard the voices. What will Veterans think? He must have some agenda! Who the hell does he think he is?
I knew there’d be critics. To me the work done & community served, outweigh opinion.
Thankfully I’m blessed, with support of great people, with Military experience, who assist.
I founded IWGB to literally “Give Back”, inspired by a stranger, now brother, who from Day 1 of training together taught me to shoot w/both eyes open, shared food from the same plate, while bunking together for weeks.
He just returned from overseas, pelican cases filled w/NFA, Class 3 SOT, SBR’s (I had NO idea what that meant back then) The alarms we had just placed on all the windows & doors came down after only one hour.
Why? Flatulence! You want ‘em? Come and take them!
