***We sincerely apologize for the technical difficulties that impacted the audio quality of our recent podcast episode; despite these challenges, we have employed artificial intelligence editing tools to salvage the audio to ensure that our listeners can still enjoy and benefit from the content.*** Karl Monger is a remarkable figure with a solid commitment to serving veterans and their communities through his multiple roles and initiatives. As the founder and Executive Director of GallantFew, Inc., a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization established in 2010, he has dedicated himself to addressing and mitigating the challenges faced by veterans, including unemployment, homelessness, and suicide. Under his leadership, GallantFew has launched several innovative programs aimed at supporting veterans in their transition to civilian life and promoting their overall well-being. One of the cornerstone programs of GallantFew is The Darby Project, which connects Ranger veterans with those transitioning from active duty, facilitating mentorship and guidance. The Run Ranger Run initiative brings awareness to the arduous journey soldiers face when becoming civilians. Descendants of Sparta is a powerful peer anti-suicide program that provides vital support to those in need. Additionally, the Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) training program educates law enforcement on veteran issues and conflict de-escalation tactics. Karl's commitment to this cause is evident in his speaking engagements, having addressed nearly a thousand officers at six conferences in the past year. Karl's dedication to supporting veterans extends to his role as the owner and CEO of DriPowder, LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) specializing in business development and veteran care and support issues. His company's recent recertification by the Veterans Administration is a testament to its ongoing commitment to serving the veteran community. Karl also contributes his expertise as a consultant for the Kansas Small Business Development Center, helping veterans establish or expand their small businesses and advising corporations and agencies on veteran-related activities. His efforts were recognized in 2012 when he was named U.S. Small Business Administration Region VII Veteran Small Business Advocate of the Year. Karl's military service has been equally distinguished. He began his career as an Army ROTC scholarship cadet at Wichita State University, achieving the rank of Major and earning the title of Distinguished Military Graduate. His service record includes numerous leadership positions and deployments, including parachuting with the 1st Ranger Battalion into Kuwait in 1992. A graduate of various military schools, his commendable service has earned him several awards and decorations. Beyond his professional commitments, Karl is actively involved in the community, serving in leadership positions within various organizations and mentoring both veterans and young people in challenging situations. He lives in Texas with his family and is eagerly anticipating the arrival of his first grandchild. His story and the impact of his work serve as an inspiration, highlighting the power of dedication, leadership, and community in making a meaningful difference in the lives of veterans and their families.

All the details we discussed are in this link http://bit.ly/F3Darby F3 Darby Challenge Think you can run 565 miles #notanotherBRRx2? What if you had a month #notovernight? What if you could do it on a bike #gears? Want to try help those that have deployed more times in the past 15 years than any other unit #tipofthespear? Then welcome to the 2018 version of the F3 Darby Challenge. The 3rd annual F3 Darby Challenge is F3 Nation’s contribution to Run Ranger Run, an event held every February throughout the country. Run Ranger Run is GallantFew’s annual fundraiser, and it is the collective goal to raise as many funds as possible to do the work we do to transition veterans to civilian life, and benefit the communities they live in. Last year, the F3 Nation came through BIG TIME and raised over $10,000 for Run Ranger Run. This year we are aiming even higher, but your responsibility is less #notfakemath. The goal for this year is for multiple regions to form teams and each knock out the 565 miles. That’s. It. $28 of your $35 registration goes to GallantFew. That means each team of 10 raises $280 by just, signing, up. For those of you looking for a little extra? Participants that complete 56.5 miles each for Running, Rucking*, & Riding** will see a special identifier on their finishers patch. What is the Event A team of up to ten individuals will pledge to walk, run and/or ride bicycles a combined total of 565 miles in the month of February (usually 28 days). Teams may be formed from anywhere in the world and your miles can be logged from the comfort of your own home. What Can I Do There are two ways to participate: 1. Form your own Team: Form your own team in your region or sub-region. Use your BRR or Palmetto 200 team #yourealreadyrunning. a. Make sure your team name has F3 at the beginning of the title. b. Register under the F3Nation Corporate Team, that way we can track our own leaderboard. c. The total 565 miles must be finished in order for individuals who completed their 56.5 to receive the Finishers Patch. 2. Donate to a team. Whether it’s your regional team or one of the other teams that you support the funds all go to the same great cause. Click the link to donate to the F3 Corporate team(its tax deductible).

In 2013, 3rd Ranger Battalion combat veteran Cory Smith highlighted the difficult transition so many veterans face by making a very difficult, public and personal transition. Cory ran from Columbus, GA to Indianapolis, IN – 565 miles - to his daughter. His example is now a national movement called Run Ranger Run where individuals and teams from around the country raise funds and awareness to assist in the transition from active military to civilian life. You can join Cory to make a difference right where you are, and bring awareness to the difficult transition many of our honored military veterans face. A team of up to ten individuals will pledge to walk, run and/or ride bicycles a combined total of 565 miles in the month of February (usually 28 days). Teams may be formed from anywhere in the world and your miles can be logged from the comfort of your own home. As a collective, all participants will raise funds for GallantFew and increase awareness for veteran issues surrounding the transition from active military service to civilian life.
