EXCITED ABOUT COOKIES

I've never seen someone so excited about cookies in my life, but I truly believe that he really does like THESE cookies more than any other out there. The thing is; they are made with SPAM.  Just watch the video below, as Kenny receives a special birthday gift.  I'm wondering if I need to find the recipe.

AN IDEA IS BORN OUT OF A BREAKDOWN

In 2021, Kenny's mobility scooter broke down. With the help from generous donors from TikTok, He was able to get a new mobility scooter. There were some funds left over so Kenny decided he would start giving back free mobility scooters to vets.

He is the president of the Patriotic Kenny Foundation, which is how he gives back scooters to as many vets as he possibly can.

Recently, Kenny was surprised with a special treat and I think you'll be able to enjoy the joy that Kenny exudes when you watch the video.

NOMINATE A VETERAN

If you know of a veteran who has mobility issues, you can nominate them to receive a free mobility scooter. You simply fill out a nomination form, and their scooter selection committee will make considerations. The committee promises that they read every single entry very carefully. The form asks for general information about the veteran, things like their physical needs, their location, and why you decided to nominate them
