“All proceeds will go to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation who do an amazing job providing full college educations to surviving children of Special Operations personnel killed in combat and also provide immediate financial assistance to Special Operations personnel severely wounded in combat. Please join me in supporting these talented and dedicated individuals who sometimes risk everything to keep our country safe.”
