Boys be what they see. We're going to be one type of man. We're going to be one or the other. We're going to be a good man or we're going to be a bad man. It depends on what's in front of us the most. When I remove them from this environment and I bring them down here, the only speakers at this camp are men. The only counselors at this camp are men. The only military people at this camp are men. What they're used to is women in their lives. What I put to them is men. I've had Nike come down here with shoe design programs. I have two kids that have gone on to Nike and designed two of the new Nike sneakers that's out now. I have kids that have come here that wanted to be pilots that fly airplanes now. My name is Brett Birch and I'm one of the mentors for today's camp. I started in the camp in 2020 as a mentee and I wrote on a piece of paper that I wanted to become a pilot. I wasn't expecting Mr. Harvey to see it, but he actually saw it. I got an email that I got a full scholarship to attend flight school. I got invited back to the camp to talk to the kids about aviation. I heard a couple of guys that are interested in becoming pilots, so hopefully I can get some more guys signed up. I have kids who have come here and met the military men and have gone on to make military a career. I have had men, young men come here and I've had ministers speak here and one of the keynote speakers tomorrow on Sunday at the program is a minister and guess what? He was one of the kids in the program here. All these guys that run the program that are 27, 28 years old, they were campers 11 years ago. Right. So I give them a different look of a different type of man and oftentimes that's the road they take.
