“You're never going to be able to scratch that itch, that service, and comradeship that we got that satisfaction from while in uniform. So if that's important to you, then find a way to keep that alive. Fallen Patriots is my calling from that perspective. I think that's important to almost all veterans is to keep that sense of purpose and service alive.” — David Kim
