I am sad to say that I am ending my 22 push-ups a day all November mission to bring awareness to veteran and active-duty military suicide. It’s not that I do not care about this important and critical issue. I do. However, tonight while bench pressing as part of my chest workout, something in my shoulder felt like it ripped. I am still in some pain an hour and a half later. I think it is from when I injured my right shoulder a couple of weeks ago while apprehending a theft suspect. I never gave it a chance to heal. Now is the time to start letting it before it gets any worse. As I said, I am sad that I have to end my mission. All I ask at this point is that people look into the issue, help where and when you can, and donate to one of the two organizations I have been linking to if you can. Our military heroes deserve the best! Let’s give it to them.

Veteran’s Day!
Thank you that have served, continue to serve, and those that have made the ultimate sacrifice.
“Our debt to the heroic men and valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid. They have earned our undying gratitude. America will never forget their sacrifices. Because of these sacrifices, the dawn of justice and freedom throughout the world slowly casts its gleam across the horizon.” ~ Harry Truman
