Our BB Featured Image is of USMC Staff Sergeant Jesse Cottle and his two daughters. In 2009 while in Afghanistan during his 4th deployment Cottle was hit by an IED. In the aftermath, Cottle survived the blast but underwent multiple surgeries and lost both legs from mid-thigh down. In 2019, Cottle and his family received a specially made home on behalf of Gary Sinise Foundation’s Restoring Independence, Supporting Empowerment (R.I.S,E.) program.

“They carried all they could bear, and then some, including a silent awe for the terrible power of the things they carried.”
― Tim O’Brien, The Things They Carried
5K run with each PAX carrying an American flag.
Each of us physically and mentally carried the thoughts & symbolic representations of the Veterans who God has placed in our lives. My 5K was for both Darla Seitz and her Step-Father Don Funk. Don recently passed but proudly served us as an Air Force Flight Engineer deployed during the Vietnam War. Don carried many ailments with him for the remainder of his life, which were a result of exposure to Agent Orange.
To all our Veterans, we take time on this day to thank you for the commitment and sacrifices that were made selflessly to serve us. Know the burdens you carry are not yours to carry alone. WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE YOUR 6.
‘TILL VALHALLA
“It’s a hard thing to explain to somebody who hasn’t felt it, but the presence of death and danger has a way of bringing you fully awake. It makes things vivid. When you’re afraid, really afraid, you see things you never saw before, you pay attention to the world. You make close friends. You become part of a tribe and you share the same blood- you give it together, you take it together.”
― Tim O’Brien, The Things They Carried
