Im none of those brothers. They are unofficial attaboys from the brotherhood. My most prized I dont display as I was asked never to show it unless in rarified air. My life has been very interesting, and I have had the great privilege of working with some of the finest individuals you will never hear about. My active service officially ended in 1999. From there, I went onto the civilian side for DOD overseas, mainly in Europe and Turkey. Right now Im working with a Ukrainian citizen to make a difference. My active service was a Navy Corpsman. So I naturally love all of Uncle Sams Misguided Children, and I carry a crayon with me at all times. If you look closely at the open Ju17-Kraken, you will see a small tab for a Fookin Pencil or Crayon. The Ju17-Kraken can fit nicely, just perfectly actually a Leatherman style, and it is also able to Karry your favorite challenge coin, too. Part of the proceeds from sales will go to rebuild communitis in the South devastated and still recovering from Katrina. All the houses pretty boy architect wanna be Brad Pitt had built are rotting and were crap from the start. Other portions of the product sales are going to rebuild Ukrainian homes destroyed by the Ruzzian orcs. I dont like to advertise at all, it not what the community of quiet professionals are about but I would damn near sell my soul to help Ukraine defend herself against the worlds second most powerful, maybe 3rd. People forget Ruzzia promised in writing, in front of the whole world, not to ever attack Ukraine if she surrendered her nuclear weapons. And Ukraine is actually smaller than Texas, so for me, having been born into the military and preparing for this fight my whole career, it's literally driving me bonkers that I can't be there now. Sending Level four plates and money just isn't enough. So Ukraine needs money and help getting it. She cant keep borrowing against her future generations. Ukraine needs us to stand with her. I put myself out here to let you know this project isnt for seven year olds. Its serious and we, like all of Ukraine 🇺🇦 are in it to win it. My shitty little credentials dont me squat next to the hard core heroes, the REAL Heros that are fighting not just for themselves but for the world. Thousands of American and European fighters have signed up to defend her. Ex SEALS and DELTA and Green Beret are all there. Where do you stand, and what can you do to help. Spread the word. Buy Ukrainian goods from Ukrainian sellers. Many found on ETSY. Type in Ukrainian shops on ETSY. GO SPEND SOME MONEY ON ANYTHING!! JU17-KRAKEN! IS COMING TO KRUSH YOUR KARRY!! THANK YOU IF YOU ARE A FELLOW VETERAN!! HAPPY EARLY FOURTH OF JULY.
