Our Military Community

One, Jerry Talbot with you with another edition of our military community. So many different things going on across the area now, so many events and so many projects across our area and so many things for veterans to do. We just don't have a lot of time to talk about. But today we have a very special program. We're going to talk about how many of you ever thought about disabled veterans in wheelchairs and disabilities being able to golf?

00:00:57:50 - 00:01:21:23
Unknown
Well, I'll tell you, we're going to learn all about that today. Talk about our Florida Panhandle golf therapy allowance. And joining me today, two very special people. First person directly to my left is James Arthur Tipton. He is a retired U.S. Air Force senior master sergeant. And then father is to my left is Raymond Glasgow, who is retired Navy chief petty officer and thanks to both of you for coming in today.

00:01:21:23 - 00:01:38:18
Unknown
But we're going to start out today. First of all, James, what's tell me about your military background and what you did in the military? So 24 years, Air Force combat veteran, I was a munitions superintendent most of my career and then seven years as a first sergeant, traveling all over the place, a great career. So you want me to act up good today?

00:01:38:18 - 00:01:57:03
Unknown
Yes, sir. And when did you retire? January 15th, 2010. So 14 years? Just a few days. Wow. You said I got you beat by a couple of years. I 1st of August, 88 four. Well, very early. Raymond, thank you for coming in again today. Tell me about your background, military and your Navy. But like I said, we don't care.

00:01:57:03 - 00:02:16:59
Unknown
We're all brothers. Well, I was a deep sea diver in the Navy. I did that for about 20 years, was in total 21 years active duty. And then I did 13 years civil service. And now I just played golf. Well, that's good. Let's expand on that. What is deep sea diving? What is that? Well, here in Panama City, it's like the Mecca for divers.

00:02:16:59 - 00:02:36:29
Unknown
If it doesn't matter what service you're in, if you're going to get into diving, special warfare, whatever, you're going to go through school here in Panama City. And it was just it was one of those things that, you know, looked really cool to me. And, you know, not everybody can do it right. You know, it's a pretty select group.

00:02:36:33 - 00:02:58:44
Unknown
You have to qualify and, you know, be in pretty good shape, stuff like that. It was just I had a great time. Good deal. And thank you for doing that. Well, let's get into talking about golf a little bit. First of all, Tip, that's what you like to be called. Yes, sir. How in the world would somebody that's in a wheelchair that can't get out and do like normal people do?

00:02:58:44 - 00:03:29:45
Unknown
How would you or why would you start a golf program for veterans like that? So great question, Jerry. So we have an interesting piece of equipment called a pair of golfer. And it's a an adaptive piece of equipment that stands you up and allows you to play. It's a ADA piece of equipment and it's a $28,000 golf chair that will allow you to stand up, straps you in it, the feet, the knees, the waist and the chest, all the break points, and literally allows you to stand and swing a golf club and play.

00:03:29:45 - 00:03:46:16
Unknown
So and a phenomenal piece of equipment. There's multiple pieces of equipment. There's a solo rider, there's a pair of golfer, there's a vertical. So there are several different types right now that. Let me. Yes, sir. Have you pause for just a minute? I think we've got a picture of you standing. Not sure if that the chair like that.

00:03:46:16 - 00:04:18:34
Unknown
If we could get ready to throw that up there. That's some of those. But let's go to the one that actually shows him on and go to a bunch of the equipment that we have. That's equipment that you use. But there's there's part of it right there. This is amazing. Yes, sir. Amazing. It is it. Let's be honest, just because you teach people that have handicaps, that have maybe wheelchairs and they have limbs missing or whatever, how does that make you feel when you see the look on their face when they hit that golf ball for the first time?

00:04:18:42 - 00:04:39:55
Unknown
It's extremely rewarding. It's it's powerful. It's it's hard to explain. It's heart wrenching. I was introduced to this card myself in 2018 when I went to the National Veterans, which are games and I had been paralyzed a few years myself. And when I got introduced to this by the Stand Up and Play Foundation, I hadn't played golf for five or six years.

00:04:40:00 - 00:04:54:38
Unknown
And they asked me if I wanted to try it, and it was in a simulator there and I got in it and I had trouble swinging the golf club and they scored me a little bit on it and I started swinging and it just came back to be a natural and they asked me to play in a nine hole tournament there.

00:04:54:38 - 00:05:11:34
Unknown
And after a week of practicing, I won a nine hole tournament, won a gold medal there at the National, was your game So it inspired me. That is that is super. Speaking of inspired Raymond, have you been golfing with this guy and everything? How do you feel seeing what's going on with this this is the Panhandle Golf Alliance.

00:05:11:35 - 00:05:34:40
Unknown
It's it's a really good time for a lot of us guys because most of us are retired military. like you said, it doesn't matter what service we run. You know, we all got that bond that, you know, only service members can have. it just to me, it, it golf just released so many frustrations. You know, if you're frustrated about some go hit 100 golf balls.

00:05:34:40 - 00:05:53:49
Unknown
You won't be frustrated after that. You'll be tired, but you're going to be frustrated and you've got to feel proud when you do well out there that you're actually able to do this. Yeah, absolutely. And you watch him golf and you he golf's really, really good. hits the golf ball like losing money all the time. I mean, just I've, I've seen does it.

00:05:53:56 - 00:06:11:43
Unknown
If you look at his scores and watch him play you wouldn't think he was a handicap guy at all. Yeah, but, you know, I think maybe we need to check the names scores a little bit. They may be maybe inflated just a little bit. But you're right. I mean, it's it's just amazing to see your attitude and everything and you're in a wheelchair, but who cares?

00:06:11:44 - 00:06:44:27
Unknown
Yes, sir. Who cares what kind of problems these these veterans that come to you with these where they need the therapy, what kind of problems are they dealing with? A lot of it. Imagine PTSD and, yes, traumatic brain injury, PTSD, amputees, paraplegics, there's a multitude. And they come to the clinic for multiple reasons. You know, primarily what we're doing in our goal is to improve the overall health and the mental mental, conditions dealing with PTSD.

00:06:44:32 - 00:07:14:40
Unknown
You know, basically what we're trying to do is help people get grounded again, get them out of the house, get them off of opioids, benzos, and help them. First of all, we can't fix and get rid of PTSD. Right? But ultimately, what we're trying to do is help and spread the awareness and prevent suicide. And then we can aid in the help of PTSD.

00:07:14:45 - 00:07:44:45
Unknown
Right. So bringing people to the golf course, getting them grounded, teaching mindfulness, working with meditation, getting them back in nature is all a part of this whole goal to help people that are suffering with PTSD and learning the game of golf. People think that golf is frustrating and that it's difficult and it's hard. And the few years that we've been doing this at Bay Point and we did it a few years that other golf courses in the community and Bay Point wound up being our home.

00:07:44:50 - 00:08:06:12
Unknown
I have never had anyone leave the golf course saying that they were frustrated with the game of golf. So it's amazing how well they meld and come together and learn that the game of golf has become relaxing and helps them get through their struggles with PTSD. It doesn't cure their PTSD, but it helps them get through their struggles.

00:08:06:17 - 00:08:35:09
Unknown
And our ultimate goal is to aid them through the struggles of PTSD and help with the awareness and the prevention of suicide. If we can save one life, we're successful. And that's that's and that's what's sad. There's over what, 20 some a day, 20 veterans a day, 2022 a day commit suicide. I mean and you stop and think you put that over a 12 month period, 365 days.

00:08:35:09 - 00:09:01:15
Unknown
That's a lot of people. Raven, let me go for you for a minute. What has this done for you and Wilbert? We're being honest here today. What is this done for you mentally? it gives me something to really look forward to every week. you know, we were. We were helping some special Olympic kids through the summertime, and, you know, I wouldn't have got to do that unless we met, too, you know?

00:09:01:15 - 00:09:24:36
Unknown
So it just, you know, gets me out of the house, gets me out of my head. like I said, it's just it's a it's a really great sport. It just really is. You just can't take it too serious and you can't get attached to your golf balls because you're going to lose golf balls. Right? but otherwise, it's a this is the best thing that I've ever had coming out of retirement.

00:09:24:41 - 00:09:45:47
Unknown
It's really helped me. And when you cope with everything, when you stop and reflect on what happened to you, the military, and now you see all of this and everything, does it not reinforce that that doesn't make any difference what kind of problems we have mentally or physically? We're all one people. We all need love and respect and we need it.

00:09:45:47 - 00:10:05:27
Unknown
That sense of companionship or that sense of getting along, being part of the family. Right, Right. Yeah. I just I've got a lot of brothers, a few sisters, but a lot of brothers. And it's, you know, you'll hear us military guys. We always call each other brother. Hey, brother, How you doing? Hey, brother. Hey. After whatever, Because that's the way we.

00:10:05:27 - 00:10:32:04
Unknown
We are. You know, the military is a pretty close knit, you know, group. And, you know, even though we're from different services, we got each other's backs all the time. Exactly. Now, a lot of times when it comes to disabilities, to people think, yeah, these these guys over there in the wars and all of this, but a lot of them don't realize that there's females out there also that need their help.

00:10:32:09 - 00:10:57:38
Unknown
Absolutely. Are they different to work with and install on this program than they say a man is? No, not at all. 100%. No. I deal with just as many females as I do males. And the the differences is just how we speak to each other. We all went through the same conflicts. We all went through the same struggles.

00:10:57:43 - 00:11:31:29
Unknown
And it's just learning each other's nuances, if you will, and how we talk to each other. But we fought the same war. So no, there's there's no difference. We're the same. We we fought the same, We bleed the same and we have the same sufferings. So it's just how you speak to each other. And sometimes I will sometimes have to have a female speak to another female one on one, depending upon what the situation may have been, or refer a female to a different counselor.

00:11:31:42 - 00:11:51:37
Unknown
But I have several females in my group and I'm grateful. And we welcome females. We welcome all the males. We welcome anybody to come to our clinic. But I love it when I have females coming to my clinic. And the caveat to that is, is some of these females swing the club better than our males because of their tempo and we get in, they're better looking than us.

00:11:51:41 - 00:12:09:18
Unknown
Well, their egos not as big as ours. Exactly. And they swing the club so well in their tempo is so good and they just come with it. Not overly high expectations on how they're going to play the game because they just have a great, great tempo. But we have quite a few females in our group and we're grateful.

00:12:09:22 - 00:12:35:49
Unknown
I wish we had more. I hope that this word gets out to our military community that females are welcome because we want we would like to have equally as many females as we do males, but it doesn't always work out that way in a lot of sports. But I wish that we had a plethora of females in our in our military community here, in our veteran community that would come to my clinic, whether they want to volunteer or participate.

00:12:35:54 - 00:12:53:53
Unknown
But I really hope this word gets out and that we get overwhelmed with people and need more volunteers to help. That would be awesome. You know, one thing that I would like to add with that, with what you just asked me, whether it be males or females, people say, I'm not ready. Right. I'll get there when I can get there.

00:12:53:53 - 00:13:13:13
Unknown
I need to prepare myself. Let me think about this. Let me prepare myself. That's Jerry, the word I want to get out. And this is of the utmost importance. And I will I will tell you why. You don't have to be ready. You just have to come and be around like minded people. And why do I say that?

00:13:13:18 - 00:13:35:18
Unknown
Because if you wait to get ready, you're not going to come right for two reasons. One, you're just not going to come and you're going to procrastinate. Or two, you're going to make that ultimate sacrifice that you're never going to be here and you're going to be upstairs. And we had that happen with a couple of veterans. We had people like Raymond or some of our other volunteers who were trying to bring veterans.

00:13:35:23 - 00:13:58:44
Unknown
And the day before they were coming to our clinic, they they they committed suicide or they went into alcohol rehab program or whatever the case may be. So the bottom line is, is you don't have to be ready. You just have to come to the clinic and we will help. We will get you the resources. We have a plethora of resources other than just our golf therapy clinic.

00:13:58:55 - 00:14:21:40
Unknown
We're here for you. We're here for our brothers and sisters. And that's the thing. I mean, like you said, people say, well, you know, I think maybe I'll think about my future tomorrow. And I always stop and look at them and say, you know, your future actually starts right now. Absolutely. They don't understand. That's profound. But then they start thinking about it.

00:14:21:40 - 00:14:41:53
Unknown
But the big thing is talking about. Raymond, I want to jump over to you for a second here. You're out there with some of these veterans playing golf. What is the response from the the other members, not with the alliance, but other people out there playing golf? What is their response when they see you out there with a man or a lady in a wheelchair playing golf?

00:14:41:53 - 00:15:05:00
Unknown
What are they saying or what are they doing? Well, a lot of people, you you know, they just they don't realize that you can still play golf and wheelchair. You know, just I didn't realize that you do that until I met Tipp. But like I said, you watch him hit a golf ball. He ain't hurting for anything. I mean, he's got great distance, you know, He just he doesn't swing a club like he's a disabled man.

00:15:05:05 - 00:15:27:56
Unknown
But, you know, clearly he's in a wheelchair, but he does pretty good. And, you know, other people see us doing that. I golf with four other guys that are all retired military, two retired Coast Guard guys and another retired Navy guy. So, you know, for all of us, it's the best therapy that we could ever have. It just really is.

00:15:28:01 - 00:15:48:39
Unknown
And you know, something else to a lot of people, when we start talking about this, they're probably saying, you okay, these are these veterans that have been 25, 30 years in the military. They're now retired, getting old. But you got some 20 or 25 year olds that need this help. Absolutely. You know, I have some statistics here that talk about the PTSD.

00:15:48:43 - 00:16:30:10
Unknown
20% of the veterans with PTSD are Iraqi. And our our Afghanistan veterans, that number is seems high, but actually 30% of Vietnam veterans. Right. So there's a huge number out there that are still our Vietnam veterans. Our youths are 15% are youth girls, 6% youth boys, 41%. I saw it victims. So the numbers are high. And so even though our clinic says that we deal with veterans with PTSD, we've opened up to adults and children with mental and physical disabilities and fire, police and EMS.

00:16:30:14 - 00:16:51:56
Unknown
So we have a plethora of people that we work with. We just want to help anyone in the community, even though we're veteran based. I just want everybody to know the statistics are here, the numbers are there, and we're here to help whomever we can. We are a veteran based organization, but if you have a PTSD issue and you want to use golf as therapy, come see me.

00:16:52:01 - 00:17:11:27
Unknown
And we have other resources that we can help you with. So and that's the thing, too, is a lot of people are starting to realize because they're hearing more and more and more about this in the community. Now, is that your family, Believe it or not, they're veterans, too, because they were with you when you were in the military doing what you did.

00:17:11:32 - 00:17:41:32
Unknown
And that's something that I believe that I read and might correct me if I'm wrong. But you also if if the veterans say the male veteran wants to bring his wife and kids out there, you welcome them with open arms. Absolutely. Absolutely. The interesting thing, too, you know, this is this is a Bay County based program. And I'm glad you said that if somebody came to me and said we would like to do a program, I do this on Tuesdays, Tuesday mornings for the veterans, Tuesday afternoons for the for the Special Olympians or Rotary Community Corps.

00:17:41:37 - 00:18:03:34
Unknown
I've actually had a family come from Bastrop, Louisiana, and I did a four day program for them. I have another gentleman that I met. I drove to Iowa and did the National Disabled Veterans Golf Clinic for a week, and I took five cards there. And I have two or three folks who are organizing now to do a private clinic with me in the spring to come and spend a week with me.

00:18:03:39 - 00:18:26:01
Unknown
I just spoke to a gentleman this morning who's waiting to get some equipment from the VA, and then he's going to drive from Milwaukee to come spend a week with me and do a clinic. So it's amazing. And I don't mind branching out to do that. And if he's going to bring his family and if people want to come from anywhere, I don't mind anywhere in the country.

00:18:26:06 - 00:18:51:01
Unknown
Granted, I'm a Bay County based program, expand to Walton County. Eventually I want to go from Mobile to Jacksonville. But if people want to come from anywhere in the country, I don't care. I'm here to help whomever it takes. But again, you know, we're a Bay County based program. But if somebody called me up from Jacksonville and said, hey, I want to bring my family, I have a veteran or I have somebody, you know, that's been abused in our family, can you help them through golf therapy?

00:18:51:05 - 00:19:15:44
Unknown
Bring them on. Right. We're here to help anybody. And that's the thing that the veteran needs, that support from the family. Also, they to know that they understand what's happened. Absolutely. I understand what I'm going through. So it's so important to bring these kids around. Raymond, as you go through this now and do this golfing and all of that, you just don't say, okay, you finish the program next.

00:19:15:58 - 00:19:35:18
Unknown
You just you don't turn them away. They're there for life if they want to be sure. Sure. And anybody, anybody and everybody's welcome. You know, like Chip was saying, you probably don't have to be in the military to have some form of PTSD. Right. You know, there's lots of ways you can get PTSD, and most of them are pretty traumatic.

00:19:35:23 - 00:20:02:05
Unknown
So everybody's welcome. It's just it's a great release from everything playing golf. It just really is You're out in nature that, you know, it's just it's the most fun sport that I've ever participated in. And it really is. Tipp Tip If someone wants to sign up with Panhandle Florida Panhandle Golf Therapy Alliance, how they go about that and what do they have to have any special qualifications or anything to actually join with?

00:20:02:05 - 00:20:24:22
Unknown
You know, they can call the phone number on our on our brochures that we have in our fliers. First, they can go to the website that would be full Panhandle golf dot org or 3038822443 which is my phone number and just call and let me know that they're interested in the program. I can ask them a few questions.

00:20:24:27 - 00:20:45:10
Unknown
Again, they don't have to be a veteran Again, we're a veteran based program. We would like you to be a veteran via CMS or someone that has a daughter or children with special needs. But we can assess and go through those questions. But if someone has PTSD or a need that we think that, you know, you would qualify for the program, we will invite you.

00:20:45:15 - 00:21:12:13
Unknown
But you can look on the website, get the details or call. But our clinic is Tuesday mornings at zero 800. We do a coffee social from 9 to 1030. We do. Our program generally goes slightly longer. We might go out and play three holes, six holes, or we're in the driving range, the pitching putting green and then do the clinic in the morning and then in the evenings at 630, 430, we'll go out with the Special Olympians Rotary Community course.

00:21:12:13 - 00:21:30:14
Unknown
So you're welcome to just come to the clinic. There is no application process. There's no sign up. This is a free clinic, so you are welcome to come if you need a special clinic or we can clinic a couple of day clinic on your own, then you call me, and then we just set that up and schedule it on the side.

00:21:30:19 - 00:21:53:02
Unknown
Now, if someone comes in for the classes to and they need that special chair and they're hard to come by. Yes, sir. In anger. Spencer, do you have available chairs that they can use so they can get up and stand up out of that wheelchair like that? I do. We have transfer boards because not everyone has the mobility to just be able to slide over.

00:21:53:02 - 00:22:17:45
Unknown
So we're transfer boards, we will do classes, we will some people, we can just do a 15, 20 minute class or we can just explain to them how to transfer over, will sign waivers for for medical waivers and injuries will sign media waivers for photos and videos. We have several things that we do, but we make sure that everyone is trained.

00:22:17:49 - 00:22:38:36
Unknown
We make sure Raymond comes in one. Raymond came as a PTSD veteran, but also Raymond's been there for quite some time. And then he also volunteers to work with my Special Olympians and my Rotary Community Corps. So Raymond is trained to get someone in and out of the para golfer now. So we make sure that we have people that are trained to help folks get in and out of the out of the equipment.

00:22:38:41 - 00:23:02:37
Unknown
We also make sure that people are trained to handle folks with PTSD. You just can't walk up behind somebody that has PTSD and touch them. You can't just walk up to somebody that's a special Olympian or somebody with any type of a disability. And just you have to you have to know how to approach them. So we make sure that everybody's trained and able to address anybody with these disabilities.

00:23:02:41 - 00:23:22:54
Unknown
We want to make sure that when we get somebody into one of these special pieces of equipment, that they're able to be able to use it before we just send them out on the golf course. So all of that is taken care of before we just release somebody. They can also come once they're trained and they can use it and sign it out and use it for a couple of days on their own afterwards.

00:23:22:59 - 00:23:40:38
Unknown
We've got a couple other things that I want to talk about, but I know we're going to run out of time here shortly. But one thing I do want to get in and people that watch this can get all the good information out of it. On March 8th, 2024, you've got a big therapy alliance, your second and annual charity Golf tournament.

00:23:40:43 - 00:24:03:20
Unknown
Tell me about that and how can I get into it? So this is our second, which is amazing. Last year was phenomenal. We had such great community support. John Lee Nissan is our our presenting sponsor this year. Again, it's $600 for a team we have last year we had 144 players. We hope to do that again this year.

00:24:03:24 - 00:24:36:02
Unknown
You can call my phone number again 3038822443. Or you can call bay points phone number and I should have that on the bottom of the flier. If not, I'll look that up before we go and then we can call and get that out there. I just have mine on there right now. So 3038822443. Or you can email me at FL Panhandle Golf at gmail.com and let me know that you want to sign up a team for the second annual charity golf tournament at Bay Point.

00:24:36:06 - 00:24:58:46
Unknown
And we are going to have a multitude of vendors all over the golf course. We are going to have a helicopter ball drop. Wow. It's going to be amazing. You can buy a golf ball for $25. And I think that we're going to sell 200 golf balls. And then whichever golf ball gets closest to the hole, I think you win like $2,000.

00:24:58:51 - 00:25:24:45
Unknown
There's just a multitude of prizes and gifts of 6 hours making a donation. It's going to be a wonderful golf tournament. So Friday, March 8th, 730, registration, 830 shotgun start. There will be a multiple hole in one prizes. There will be vendors all over the place doing food. It's going to be a great time. We're gonna have an after party where there will be oysters on the back patio with our music and several things happening back there.

00:25:24:45 - 00:25:55:36

There's drawings and gifts and prizes, a silent auction. It's going to be a really good time. Before we run out of time here, I want to start with you, Raymond, and give me the best success story that you can that you've experienced out there with these veterans. Well, they're still around. They haven't put a gun in their mouth and a lot of them think about that.

I think we all thought about it a little bit. But some people really think about it a lot. And, you know, to see them out there playing golf and not worrying about anything and, you know, don't even don't have a care in the world just out there having fun hitting a golf ball. That's what's rewarding knowing that someone has their back.

Yep. They're not alone. Not alone. Never alone. Never alone. Tiff, what's your favorite story? So I'm opening this because I want to. I want to share that line with you one more time before we go. But Gerri, I have a Vietnam veteran that came to my clinic over a year ago and he said he needed help and he wanted to come to my clinic to volunteer.

And after about a month, he says, I really need to be a part of your clinic because I'm struggling with life. He came to me and stood aside and said, I'm struggling with life and I'm struggling getting out of bed. I'm struggling, getting off the couch. I can't relate to my grandchildren. And the list went on. And as he continued to come to my clinic and get back into golf and play, he came to me months later and says, I can now relate to my grandchildren.

I can play golf with my grandchildren. My wife wants to know why I need to come to this clinic every week because I always have a smile on my face. And he said, Life is good. I can continue and I have purpose. And I really enjoyed being a part of this clinic. Not only now am I sincere about volunteering, but I have to be here every week and I have purpose in life.

00:27:36:55 - 00:27:54:56

So when you get someone like that, come to you and tell you how successful not only wanting to be a volunteer, but how success will be in a part of this clinic was and how much purpose his life is. It just goes back to the point of you don't have to be ready. You just have to come and be around like minded people.

00:27:55:01 - 00:28:26:03

And that's what's so good about this is because again, it's like you have your family there and I don't care, like you'd mentioned earlier, Raymond, about military, how they know one another. I can guarantee you that you can put 100 people in a room and you and tip and I can go in there and probably within two, we can name our point to the people that have been in the military because there's just that you give off that attitude that we can and we can accept that because we've been around it and we know what's happening.

We got a minute and a half to go. 30 seconds. Final thoughts, Raymond? Come out and join us on Tuesday morning at 8:00. It's a blast. We have coffee and always something to eat. Breakfast, go out and play a little golf. It'll save your life. It really will if you come join us. We don't have all the answers, but we have the resources.

00:28:51:13 - 00:29:14:14

We have a great time. We have camaraderie. We're in a non-clinical atmosphere, come out, hit some golf balls, stress free environment, non-clinical environment. Come and join our brothers and sisters. Just like Raymond said, we've got coffee, we've got breakfast sandwiches. We have a great atmosphere. Bay Point has opened their arms to us. I have all the equipment that you need.

This is a free clinic. I know. It's during the week. If you need something on a weekend or evening and you can't make it because of work, just call me up. We'll make something happen. I want all my brothers and sisters to come again. Like I said, we save one life. That's important. 22 veterans a day commit suicide, and we're here to save lives.

00:29:31:08 - 00:29:46:02

You're doing. And you don't need golf clubs. We've got plenty of golf clubs to do. All right. We're about out of time here. Raymond, Thank you so much for coming in. We appreciate what you're doing. And tip, God bless you for what you're doing out there. You are showing the life thanks to all desert. I can tell you it saved my life.

So don't forget that golf tournament, March 8th, 2024, called Point. If you have any questions, that'll do it for this edition of our military community. Have a great day.
