Bobs last trip to Iraq and Afghanistan was late 2011. Since 2012, (in between surgeries) Bob produced many videos with Military Support and Veterans Groups from across America setting aside politics and locking arms when it comes to Honoring, Thanking and Supporting those who serve and have served and their Families. Watch our Videos at: www.youtube.com/bobc9246

Founder, Bob Calvert is a member of a military family. His dad was a WWII Veteran who served in the Navy on an aircraft carrier. Bob’s brother and sister-in-law also served in the military. Bob’s daughter and son-in-law served in the Army. Bob’s son-in-law is an Iraq veteran, with two deployments to Iraq. Bob’s Brother and Sister N Law both Served in the Air Force and his Brother also Served in the Army with a Deployment to Afghanistan.

Breathing programs helped with an inhaler, memory loss and less energy all as of mid June 2022 improved by Neumi Swish and Skin www.neumi.com/bobcalvert  For Months now Bob has been talking with and met some Veterans and I am excited about what we will announce soon.
