For children right forum for all children of people of fallen Navy SEALs explaining -- what the foundations about what's the mission behind what you guys do well.
My brother didn't have children but he loves children and his family members and his teammates and their families were all very important him.
He went above and beyond.
For his for the important people.
And it was this that I consciously thought after I lost him and reflecting -- outlining which is something that Bryant case -- there.
Comment was where I felt closest to him after his loss was when I came up the idea that.
Why not give back to people he loved so much give them a chance to learn and experience adventure as -- Monday and that's their dads -- it.
And navy seal as we know a lot of really gets out there and and does so much I think we have some photos of bill we want to show used to give you a feel for his personality.

To kick off the little warriors we did a fund raiser as our first venture.
And we did a tough minor.
Tough night you know -- -- we had a little luck.
Set up outside of the Fox News studios last year to let people get a very short part of the course this is hard tell apple for people who don't know -- -- matter is tell people what it is.
I think it's about thirteen miles.
25 obstacles.
You're either wet or money in -- entire race I can't -- up and had its really its heart -- it's it's intelligence it definitely is intense it takes several hours to finish.
But we had a team of fifty people.
It's grainy which is pretty incredible we originally signed up hoping for ten or fifteen -- members and by the end mid fifty people came out to remember my brother.
That is that is so amazing.
So what what's up next for you guys so great now we're working and a fund -- -- the wind turned round and right now we're getting our person and drop for the kids in the spring.
