Hey guys just checking with everyone. Well wow, I’ve had my eyes opened. I spent the day on the bay having a blast. I went waterskiing, tubing, jetskiing and a whole lot more with SDASF (San Diego
Adaptive Sports Foundation) and it made me realize that there are too many veterans just sitting at home watching TV and letting life slide by. There are too many programs out there for us there’s dancing, shooting, racing and various sports programs all over San Diego. So get out there and live. Life is too short to let it pass us by while we’re watching TV so let’s get out there live my friends don’t let memories pass us by.
