time.
Yes, absolutely
it has been really surreal.
The way to put it
America showed up in PA very big
way.
We were actually able to sell
over five thousand flags, donate seventy five thousand
or seventy thousand dollars. Thirty five thousand dollars to various
hospitals here in the Louisville
area-
and you know we were able to do
that in sixty days
we got an overwhelmingly amount
of orders and we were able to
sell a flag, never State
PETE, Amber. You were able to
hire more people veterans.
This improved lives of people
you donated to but grown your
business.
It has.
We were able to help veterans w
the money we donated with me,
like some others. On the front
lines, weve been able to do
amazing things with the money
we created dens relaxation
space. We can go to get a mental
break from this. The money has
been used to feed all of us
during these long hours.
You know it just seems this
virus isnt going anywhere. This
time soon
the generosity of America was
leak. Chris said

to help us give back to the
front line workers.
It has been amazing.
Will Jed brought up the service

Fox AMP friends.
From what I understand, a lot of
money was raised from you,
viewers who watch
Fox, AMP friends daily got
introduced to you
tell me a little bit about that
who is buying the flags who is
helping the cause.
When we received all the
orders, we saw a lot of gift,
giving
it was kind of a trifecta. If
you will of a gift,
people were buying gifts for
health care workers,
one they were giving back to a
fellow health care worker
thanking them for their help.
Then, at the same time they were
helping a veteran owned small
business.
Then we were able to donate so
much money.
So a lot of surprise gifts,
believe it or not.
People were giving gifts in the
mail
Jedediah. Thank you both
