Vernola - War Fighter Made Award |
“When one little thing happens it could be all
gone in one second. That’s all it takes. Today,
and every day of my life I always know to never
give up. No matter how hard it is, no matter how
many people tell you that your not good enough,
your not capable, your not cut out for this, it
doesn’t matter. As long as you set yourself out
for it you can achieve it. I never thought in
a million years I would be here. I am very honored
and privileged to accept this,” said Vernola upon
accepting the War Fighter Made Award.
The next round of the BITD series is just a few
weeks away with the Mint 400 in Las Vegas, NV
on March 10-13th.
