    November 19th marks two years since a gunman unleashed gunfire on the Colorado Springs, Colorado Club Q nightclub, tragically killing five people and injuring nineteen others.

Benjamin looks back at his conversation with Richard, as he recounts the moments that unfolded that night and shares why in a choice of fight or flight, there wasn’t any hesitation on what he should do.

  • Veterans Day: Saluting The Nation's Heroes

    Veterans Day: Saluting The Nation's Heroes
    2024/11/11
    This Veterans Day, we honor those who dedicated their lives to protect our country at all costs. Derek McGinnis is a prime example. US Navy veteran Derek McGinnis was serving in Iraq when he was severely injured by an IED explosion — losing a leg, suffering a traumatic brain injury, collapsed lung, and other intense shrapnel injuries. When adjusting to his new normal, it wasn't just the constant pain that plagued Derek, but the loss of identity and direction that made recovery insurmountable. However, through the vital support Derek and his family received from Semper Fi & America's Fund, Derek realized though his life was different now, it was still incredibly meaningful.
