NMS: I’ve been telling many of you about The Bridge since it was started this past summer. It cannot be fully described, but once experienced, it can never be forgotten. The men in this program have all fallen, hard, but are learning how to get back up, and we are their support system. We are inspired to lead, but in truth, they lead us. They show us what it is truly like to face struggle and, in most instances, overcome it.
I was extremely honored to share this experience with you all, and humbled by how many of you came today. In speaking with each of you after the workout, I know you now fully understand what this, much bigger than all of us thing, is. Jay James, the Director, told me today was the most inspired he’s seen these guys, and it’s all because of each of you supporting such a great and meaningful cause. The men at the Bridge are diamonds in the rough. It is our job to help them get polished up and on the other side of The Bridge.
Thank you all for being there today – it meant the world.

Man, what a morning! I am so proud and humbled to a part of this brotherhood. Y’all do amazing things, and today was a prime example.
Thanks for leading Vinny, and props to Grappler for getting this partnership rolling.
Glad you all were able to get to the bridge!
Get some!
Great Q Vinny, that is such a good beatdown with lots of good mumble-chatter. It’s both good to see those guys again and hard to see at the same time. I was talking with Sauce about the small margin of error we all have in our life choices that determine our coarse in life.
That was great. I am looking forward to my next visit in a couple of weeks.
Well worth the trip. Thanks for the invite and looking forward to going back. And not a bad Q either;)
Big thank you Vinny for bringing us out. I got so much out of that.
