I recently moved to Minnesota from California. In fact, I have been here less than three weeks. But I have already met some amazing people. Just this week, I became a member of an organization that makes me extremely proud. I am now a part of Beyond The Yellow Ribbon - South of the River. What an amazing group of Americans!
Each day, I enjoy the freedoms that the members of our armed services pay the price for. Like most Americans, I have the desire to show my appreciation. Many people would jump at the chance to show their gratitude, but they do not know where to start. I am more than happy to help guide you in the right direction. Our troops need all of the support they can get.
Although my tour of duty in the U.S. Marine Corps ended in 1991, I have never stopped “serving.” I have been a civilian for 20 years now, but it is always my greatest pleasure to help make a difference in the lives of our military service members and their families.

This weekend, I will be participating in an amazing event, hosted by the BTYR - SOTR group. On September 10, at Lion’s Park in Shakopee, we will be having a Military Appreciation Day.
There will be foods, games, and entertainment. All at no cost! Everyone is encouraged to attend: military personnel and their families, and anyone else who wants to come out, have some fun, and show their support for our troops.

I will be joined by dozens of members of the BTYR, who have committed themselves to giving so much of themselves to our troops. Giving back in this way, not only makes me feel great, but it is in complete alignment with the foundation of my book, The GOAL Formula.
I am a firm believer that putting the needs of others at the forefront of your life, will help you to experience a greater life as well. As the new year gets closer, we all have many important goals that we would like to accomplish. This weekend, take some time to show your support for our troops by coming out and participating in our great event.
