After getting injured in the Middle East, receiving disability, and then serving 21 years in the police department, I know what it's like to struggle with things that we have all seen during our times in service. I met Roy right when he moved to town and we became fast friends. Roy was a lot like me when I was younger. My sole reason for being part of this foundation is to help young men and women deal with issues and provide them hope.
