Donation Button Clarification

The donation button for this website redirects to the 🔗 Wounded Warrior Project

This website is not an affiliated with the Wounded Warrior Project

My father dedicated over 20 years of his life to the military (Navy), which included a year long tour of Vietnam. He suffered through at least one fused vertebrae. Military (Jacksonville, FL) said it wasn’t their problem. That’s why I am the way I am. And that’s why I’ve included the link.

If anyone has an issue with the donation button please contact me > 🔗 directly.

Also: Da Cubs (Since 1903). Pricey atm, but I’ll catchup eventually.
