I don't whats wrong, but I think this is guy is doing a great JOB! I would like to do an interview if he comes out to California!

Being a Veteran myself I truly wish I had the money to spare so I could donate.. but I am struggling with cash and barley getting by supporting my wife and myself with the GI Bill and the money I get each month from the reserves. I know what its like to struggle after returning from a deployment, it was only due to friends and family that I feel i was able to work through the most difficult times, but I know so many other Veterans don't have that.

Good luck Troy, I hope you make 10x your goal.
