If a veteran comes through my door and has a need, then everything stops and they can shop in here and get whatever they need. I have a long history of military service. I'm a veteran. My father was a veteran.

the electric on, but we're here primarily to make sure these guys get what they need. Okay, so the footlocker is a room that we built in our first store and it was out of necessity because we kept stuff squirreled away for our homeless veterans that were in need. We put all the toiletries, we put all the camping gear, we put all the first aid supplies, we also put all manner of military uniforms or uniform pieces, military gear such as canteens. We even have some military issue cots. We put all that in there and locked it up. Nobody can go into the footlocker. Nothing is in there is for sale.
