Speaker 1: it right now with Joseph with one leg before the other?
Speaker 1: And this is an organization in Sioux Falls. You guys
Speaker 1: are like about a year old now right, Yeah, there
Speaker 1: we are, and this is a really cool thing. Let's
Speaker 1: talk to folks about what one leg before the other
Speaker 1: is and then we'll chat about a fun event you
Speaker 1: guy coming up here in just a couple of months.
Speaker 1: But where did the concept come from for this organization?
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, our veterans have fined a blank check
Speaker 2: with their life and when they come back over here,
Speaker 2: oftentimes they fall into either some mental, emotional or physical
Speaker 2: obstacles and they don't have the proper equipment to face those.
Speaker 2: And one of those big things is a pair of pants.
Speaker 2: As you know, we've all put a pair of pants
Speaker 2: on the first thing this morning, and we don't wear
Speaker 2: proper payer of fitting pants. We probably are going to
Speaker 2: function very well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you guys have this organization, one leg before
Speaker 1: the other helping get pants for people, which you think
Speaker 1: that sounds like a simple thing. It's not as simple
Speaker 1: as it sounds, though, is it.
Speaker 2: No. I mean, we try to equip every veteran that
Speaker 2: we come across with seven pairs of pants, and so
Speaker 2: if they're going to be in a nursing room, we
Speaker 2: provide them with sweatpants. If they're a houseless, then we
Speaker 2: provide them with genes so they can maybe get a job,
Speaker 2: to get back to work, and we put a deceased
Speaker 2: name of a soldier in each pocket to hopefully bring
Speaker 2: them back to a mentality of wanting to get better.
Speaker 1: That's amazing. Where did the idea come from for one
Speaker 1: leg before the other? How in the world? Because it's
Speaker 1: a thing now, but at one point it was a thought.
Speaker 1: Whose thought was it? And where did this come from?
Speaker 2: Well? I am the founder of it. I was doing
Speaker 2: a different thing with a different organization, and I just
Speaker 2: didn't really feel like my values and where I wanted
Speaker 2: to go in life lined up with theirs. So I
Speaker 2: prayed hard, and this is what God for me to do,
Speaker 2: and so this is here we are doing it.
Speaker 1: I love that I love that you listened and you
Speaker 1: said I'm gonna step forward and do this. And again,
Speaker 1: this is unique. I've never heard of anything quite like this.
Speaker 1: One leg before the other beyond the uniform again started
Speaker 1: about a year ago, and in that last year, you've
Speaker 1: provided a lot of pants for a lot of amazing people,
Speaker 1: haven't you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have. Actually we go to the nursing homes
Speaker 2: like I said, and the shelters, and we're really trying
Speaker 2: to make this just out as like as soon as
Speaker 2: we get our geographic area taking care of, we really
Speaker 2: have a desire to take this nationwide and help everybody
Speaker 2: in every city we can. It's a veteran.
Speaker 1: If somebody wants to help, how can they help? Do
Speaker 1: they donate pants? Do they not donate funds that you
Speaker 1: buy pants? Do they donate their time? What is the
Speaker 1: thing that you need the most right now?
Speaker 2: Joseph, I mean really all three of those things. If
Speaker 2: you want to donate some pants, we have a location
Speaker 2: at the Shriver Building on the second floor downtown here
Speaker 2: in two Falls, or you could visit us on our
Speaker 2: web page at one Leg before Theother dot org, where
Speaker 2: we can connect you with some volunteer opportunities, or there's
Speaker 2: an opportunity be on the web page two to donate
Speaker 2: some monetaries.
Speaker 1: So it's kind of up to you. If it works
Speaker 1: better for you to say, hey, here's the money, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna let you guys do it, that's great. If it's
Speaker 1: easier for you to say, hey, instead of money, I'd
Speaker 1: like to donate pants, that's great. Whatever works best for you.
Speaker 1: Sounds like you guys will find a way to make
Speaker 1: it work.
Speaker 2: We will. We will again.
Speaker 1: Joseph, You've got a fun event coming up in August,
Speaker 1: and I know that sounds like it's a long way away,
Speaker 1: but it's going to be here before you know it.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about this bike and bruise two. Let's chat
Speaker 1: a little bit about what this is, where this is,
Speaker 1: and again we'll remind them when it is.
Speaker 2: So in August twenty third, it's going to be at
Speaker 2: Big Bar on West twelfth Street. There. It's our second
Speaker 2: annual event. Last year we drew about five hundred people
Speaker 2: in and this year we hope to double that. We
Speaker 2: have a Harley Davison stunt show, some food trucks, some
Speaker 2: great event for your whole family. It's all aged, welcome,
Speaker 2: We encourage everybody to come out and hang out. We
Speaker 2: have some great vendors that are going to hand know
Speaker 2: some free stuff. We're going to have a fifty to
Speaker 2: fifty and some silent auction stuff. So it's just a
Speaker 2: good way to get involved. And all the money that
Speaker 2: we will raise, we will turn around and put pants
Speaker 2: on veterans. So I mean we're not sending anybody's money
Speaker 2: off or anywhere. Everything We're going to do everything we
Speaker 2: raise face here in the Sue Empire.
Speaker 1: I love that. And again that's coming up in August.
Speaker 1: It's the twenty third of August. That's on a Saturday,
Speaker 1: three pm till seven pm, and it looks like it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a great event. It's a free event for
Speaker 1: all ages. But when you get there you can say, hey,
Speaker 1: I want to make a donation, I want to help,
Speaker 1: and you'll get a chance to see firsthand what the
Speaker 1: amazing people at one leg before the other are doing.
Speaker 1: And thank you for doing what you guys are doing.
Speaker 1: I think it's really neat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you guys for having us on here and
Speaker 2: help spreading a word to this great cause. And hopefully
Speaker 2: by this interview we could help get some more pants
Speaker 2: to some veterans.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, if you again, if you're just tuning in one
Speaker 1: leg before the other, what they do is they donate
Speaker 1: pants to veterans. If you would like to financially help,
Speaker 1: you can do that. Or if you say, hey, I'd
Speaker 1: like to donate pants, you can do that as well.
