RICHARD CHILDRESS: We got a letter from the defense minister of Ukraine thanking us, and we were one of the first ones to jump out there…AMMO, Inc., did, and to be able to do that and see -- it's just pitiful to see what's going on today. All we can do now is pray for them and send all the support we can for them. I'd love to see our government get behind and go do something. We really need it bad.
