In recognition of the USMC Birthday, November 10th, and Veterans Day November 11th, I’m posting the video, my friend, Kyle Anderson, a disabled Marine Corps Veteran who produced, directed, and narrated his own documentary. It is called “Never Quit The End.”
I first met Kyle in 2019 when I worked in a work program at the VA Minneapolis called Compensated Work Therapy (CWT). It’s a VA program that allows a Vet to have a job while they are looking for a job. Kyle had worked in Vet Mart, the office supply depot in the basement of the VA Minneapolis Hospital before he got his current job.
Kyle would come in after his appointments to see my old boss, Brett Larson, a US Army Veteran who worked at the VA for many years before retiring to become a gun smith north of the Twin Cities Metro area. Kyle is tenacious and despite his obvious physical disabilities he is not mentally deficient at all. Kyle is my favorite Marine and every time I see the video above, I get the waterworks going. Kyle is a hard core Green Bay Packers fan (I am too, I’m a Shareholder), and I knitted him what I call a Bottle Mitt in Packers colors.
Kyle is not affiliated with this website, but he would tell you that I am his friend if you wanted to know who I am to him.
Every year on the Marine Corps Anniversary I think of Kyle Anderson, and the service he gave to his unit, his buddies, and to our country.
Happy Birthday Marines ! Happy Veterans Day!
