Chaps asked me to blog this because Erika asked him to blog this and he is too humble to do it himself. Didn’t want it to seem like he was patting himself on the back just for doing his job. The fact that he and the ZBT crew just won the 2018 “Moral Courage” Award for the work they’ve done supporting the veteran community and the courage they’ve shown to publicly share their stories about dealing with PTSD.

Everyone’s focused on the Kevin and Nate battle, the Smitty and Nate beef, the rise of the electrifying Clickbait Smits, the hit pieces, the Twitter chirping (that includes me.) Want to know something we should really care about? Chaps, Connor and Kate doing incredible work for the mental health of our veterans.

Kate, Chaps & Connor,

I can’t fully express how excited I am for the three of you to receive this award as I am a big fan.

Listening to your podcast was one of the many inspiration for me to publish an op-ed about Afghanistan last week, and specifically in referencing Tom Brady.

My only input into this process was telling Zach “Just don’t give it to some General.”

Your openness to speak about mental health and Headstrong has led to dozens of leads and veterans in treatment and that’s what this is all about.

I’d like to end on a serious note.

I went to the same high school as Pete Davidson. My brother taught Pete Davidson. He knew Pete Davidson. And Pete Davidson does in fact have butthole eyes.

All the Best,

Joe Quinn
