Hello and welcome, Friends. 

My name is Joey Patterson. About me, most people know three things; I've been on duty with the Army for 21 total years (Active and Reserve), I'm a devoted family man, and I'm a Lacrosse Guy for the past 32 years (despite growing up outside of the big three markets).

Please support Shootout For Soldiers, my portion of it if you'd like. At my age (and mileage), a large part of the reason I returned to playing and stringing sticks is for the ones who didn't make it. Either they went down in the war or they went down from the wounds, seen or unseen, that followed them home.  

The Creator's Game is good medicine, I still believe that. So we must all keep playing for the Game's own sake. 

See you at X. Play on. 

-Joey P.
