Sam Ubl of Chase Nation joins us on a very special episode of The HHAUSA Podcast to discuss what he says is the most meaningful work of his career.
Twenty two Veterans a day take their lives in America. Before I started HHAUSA I was aware of this fact and it weighed heavily on my heart. It was decided early on that we would donate our first 22% each year to other organizations to help combat PTSD. But I wanted to do more.
After meeting retired 82nd Airborne Paratrooper David Wootten and hearing his struggles and how he overcame them through the sport of archery, an idea was born. David’s willingness to share his story led him to Warrens Wisconsin in May of 2021 for Mission 9 of the HHAUSA Veterans Archery Shoot Tour. Sam and his talented team were there to document the shoot but more importantly, David’s story. We all walked away from that weekend forever changed by the power of his testimony and knowing that the film we were about to produce was not only going to change but save lives.
Mission 22 is being created to raise awareness for the 22 men and women we lose each day to suicide and to let Veterans and First Responders know that they are not alone. There is a network of like minded people around the country who care about them and want to offer help through archery and the outdoors. The first of an ongoing series, Mission 22 features David Wootten and myself, your host and founder of HHAUSA, Chris Hamm, sharing our stories and heart for this mission. The film will debut on February 2nd, 2022 (02/02/2022).
I’d like to thank David for his friendship in the short time we have known each other, for the man that he is and the lasting impact he has had on my life. I’d also like to thank Sam for his heart for this project and using his God given talents to shine a light in the darkness and offer hope to those who need it most.
