Swandingo Files | Brian Gibson | Project Diehard

In this episode of The Swandingo Files our host Stephen Swandon interviewed retired army veteran Brian Gibson. Brian (Gunny) Gibson resides in Paducah, Kentucky with his wife, Helene. They have 2 children: Steven (US Army Retired) and Katelyn. He is a member of Free Spirit Motorcycle Ministries. He continues to serve by forming Project Diehard to fight the war on veteran suicide and to assist his brothers and sisters in getting the help they need. A little bit about Project Die Hard from their website... "In dealing with the VA in two separate instances (both personally in beginning this process that took over a year when we began, and in helping our son, who is a wounded warrior suffering from Traumatic Brain Injury), we have seen how overwhelmed and understaffed the VA truly is. Soldiers are lost as they wait for the help they desperately need. Having served this country for 26 years as a Soldier and Combat Medic, I lost more of my Brothers and Sisters to suicide when we got home than I did during our time deployed in combat.I wanted to bring awareness to Veteran Suicide, which led me to start Project Diehard. Project Diehard started as a tribute motorcycle for the Brothers I lost who I served with. I’d go out to my shop and work on the bike. This work is a source of PTSD therapy for me. After long hours of prayers, on April 22, 2018 ProjectDiehard, a Non-profit Limited Liability Company, was formed. The goal is simple, “To bring public awareness to veteran suicide and to assist veterans in coping with the stress and difficulties in transitioning from active-duty military to civilian life.” Help them rise. One lost Veteran is to many. We have no way of getting an accurate number if the stigma attached to suicide exists. What leads to suicide? I wish we knew because if it had not been for the support of my wife, my church, and my friends, I would just be a number today. This knowledge is what led to the concept Project Diehard. our facilities will be a place where a Veteran can come and stay for a day, a week, a month, or even up to a year. With food and shelter provided, whether they come to hang out and talk among other Veterans or they need assistance working thru the VA system, these Veterans will be welcomed and accommodated at no cost to them. Our goal is to have 90% of funds raised go to helping a veteran. At no time will a board member or volunteer take a paycheck from ProjectDiehard. Together we can make a difference."
