Being part of the Ally Foundation means a lot to me because it allows me to give back. After over 20 years in the military (USMC/Army), I witnessed the toll conflict takes: many service members return home without the support they need and are often overlooked by society. Sharing a meal with them each week brings me joy, knowing they are seen, valued, and not forgotten.

I am honored to support my dear friend Azalea Ally and the Ally Foundation in continuing their important work both in our community and around the world.
