Our Why
Mitch Lundgaard E.O.W. 15MAY2019
In honor of our fallen brother Mitch Lundgaard who was killed in the line of duty during an Active Shooting Event in 2019, we attempt to save lives through education. It is our belief that with wide-spread, standardized, and hi-fidelity training, we can minimize the loss of life to these tragic events. We say his name, tell his story, and try to make it mean something!
