Well. This is the way we want to give on this Tuesday (2:55) We're gonna serve y'all beers and y'all can donate money that goes to warrior legacy ranch somebody who doesn't know (3:03) What WLR is what's your what's your uh you know elevator speech the quick version of what y'all do? (3:12) Listeners out there (3:14) Warrior legacy ranch is a multi (3:18) Multi-program facility design (3:21) The long-term goal is to build a facility to do platoon (3:25) Reunions so that veterans can come in for a week and stay and reconnect with people that they served with (3:30) But for a local impact for the Gulf Coast we had the Gulf Coast veterans Community Resource Center (3:37) Which is a lot of different programs, I think it was recently categorized as a mental health facility (3:43) But it's not a mental health facility.It's a place where veterans can go to (3:48) connect with other veterans (3:52) With mental health in mind (3:55) But not there there are no professional (3:59) Psychiatrists and psychologists in fact I would refer you to that's recovering mobile (4:06) Yeah, and by the way to the the groundbreaking has started out on the facility (4:12) But this will be like you said part of what's going on will bring you know (4:16) veterans in from all over the country to beat up, but this is going to be like (4:21) Just a hub. I mean what yeah, I don't want to use the wrong word here, but to me Patrick (4:25) It seems like a hub for for all the veterans in our area to be able to come out to the resource facility (4:32) Yeah, it is exactly that the hub is a great word for it (4:36) I always think back like my vision of it when it when we were first starting to kind of plan (4:42) This was like those old-school (4:46) Gen Xers and myself will probably remember like when cities had community centers, and they did events there for families and (4:56) For men for women for for families all together (5:00) That that's kind of where it is where where people could go in and reserve the facility and use it to carry out you know (5:06) Organizations can can reserve it and carry out that that's kind of missing from now (5:12) from our area so (5:14) I mean I grew up in the north so we had that but (5:19) That that's what I envisioned this this hub for (5:22) You know different military organizations different veterans organizations to come in use the the 20-acre property and (5:29) Do something with other veterans and then we'll fill that time on our own with our programs in the empty spaces (5:37) In military order the Purple Heart needs a meeting facility or wants to do something outside (5:42) Hey sign up reserve the space for the weekend, and it's yours (5:46) It's really cool (5:47) And these are gonna be big demand if y'all heard me talk about in the past the stats here the number of veterans (5:53) Right here in our corner of the world (5:56) there's a lot and (5:57) To have a facility like this long time coming so good good on you, man (6:03) So yeah, you talked about the stats (6:05) I don't have mobiles, but but I have Baldwin County's stat and it is (6:09) 11.2% of the population or 26,000 better than Baldwin County (6:16) And we don't even we don't even have a VA you got to go to Mobile or Pensacola for that (6:20) So we're trying to fill that gap in our community that's missing (6:25) For those 26,000 veterans, I think all of us could sit on the property right now (6:34) It'd be a little tight, but yeah, you know what's good too if you're listening (6:39) The veterans obviously y'all listen to what Patrick's talking about you may be familiar with what's going on there (6:44) But folks that aren't make sure your friends and family that are veterans know about this, right? (6:50) That's what the keys to I've got that many people (6:52) Because that number is actually bigger for Mobile County and then you bring in Southeast, Mississippi and Northwest, Florida and that number (6:59) I think we figured it one day was near (7:01) 80,000 (7:02) You put that through you got to make sure those folks know, you know, this facilities here moving forward (7:08) That's a key too. So y'all are all gonna be profits for us and spread the word.That's that's what I'm it's a job (7:14) I'm giving you on this Tuesday (7:15) So we got to make sure people know what's going on talk about tonight, too (7:19) Could be raising money and this is a if somebody can't make it out tonight (7:23) Which is the most fun most fun the way? (7:26) For giving Tuesday's to have a beer and give a big tip that goes to warrior legacy ranch (7:29) But if not Patrick, how do people make donations to what you're doing or just see more about what you're doing?
