I'm gonna piggyback on I'm gonna piggyback on Ellen.
1:18:24
She said to customer of Maserato.
1:18:26
You see how what we do, we will provide this type of training to anyone, any place, anytime.
1:18:31
So if you have existing groups in your district that you'd like to go through this, reach out, and we're happy to support.
1:18:38
I just wanna call about it.
1:18:39
And then something else too is sometimes I feel as though folks think I've I've I've I've got to only give this money to a veteran organization.
1:18:45
You know, if they are working to help our people, they yeah.
1:18:48
We do not discriminate.
1:18:49
You know, just just just my advice too.
1:18:51
So not think of it only as Who are the veteran organizations in my district?
1:18:54
Let me just work on them, but just who will be right by these veterans, period?
1:18:59
Who do I know who's good with anything that normalized help seek seeking behavior amongst those groups?
1:19:04
And then, you know, that I would just advise that.
