Veteran Suicide Trauma Fpl And Task Force Dagger

but I'm doing this stuff live. You're your own producer. Yeah. Yeah. And I do, I blame some of this stuff on getting blown up. You know, like I struggled to see mistakes. It's my excuse, but I'm not sure it's an excuse. No, I get the same thing. And then frustration happens. Yeah, it's plain as day when I come back and look at it. I'm like, how the hell did I do that? But anyhow, that aside, FPL, it sounds like a good resource. I'll be getting a copy of it. And if you need a copy, let me know. I'll always give you my copy and I'll buy another one from Boone. And like you said, the revenue from this, at least some of it goes to charity. And that's a good thing. Which charity are you sending it to? Dagger? Yeah, it's Task Force Dagger Foundation. Great group of guys, do a lot of stuff. A lot of stuff on the health side. You know, I work with Jeff Dardia. He's the co-author on the book and he runs Task Force Dagger, their special operation forces health initiatives. So they're looking for different ways for war fighters to be treated for problems like heavy metal toxicity, which is never even acknowledged most of the time. So, you know, it's a big deal. It's a good thing. So we want to put money towards them so they can keep doing the, you know, finding the information, getting the information and putting protocols together to help people get healthy again. I saw a picture of you getting a hunk of money from the VA. Is that the VA? Or is it, what was it that you were doing? Is the VA that you guys got? Money, I didn't get any. I didn't get any money, but. All right, some kind of backing then, like from Spartan Pledge or something. What was that? Yeah, we became official partners with the VA regarding suicide prevention. So, you know, the Spartan Pledge and specifically Soldier Heart, the Spartan Pledge being used through Gallant Few is now in partnership with the VA to work with them regarding suicide prevention. Man, you know how that, this is one of the things that folks don't know. You know, obviously Scott and I do Save the Brave, same kind of mission, you know, different approach and all that, there's plenty of room for all this, but I'm really sick of getting that call or seeing that post from a friend of mine whose friend has killed themselves. You know, it's just during this pandemic, it's like we forget that there are other people suffering right now every day, day to day, and the pandemic only exacerbates it. So first off, thanks for working on it, man. What makes you positive about our combined approaches across the veteran spectrum for suicide? And then also realize that suicide's going up in society in general, you know, among different ethnicities. So talk a little bit about the goal and the mission and the progress. Well, what we do with the Spartan Pledge, you know, basically brings self-awareness to somebody. And then also it gives that outlet because you take the Spartan Pledge, you don't take it because yourself, you might have a bad day. You know, that's not why you take the Spartan Pledge. You take your Spartan Pledge because you care about somebody else.
