At Precision Services Unit (PSU), we believe in giving back to those who have given so much for our country. On Friday, December 6, 2024, we were honored to support the Patriot Empowerment Institute’s (PEI) annual “Toast to the Troops” fundraising event, held at the beautiful “The Lane” Event Center overlooking the San Diego harbor.
The Patriot Empowerment Institute (patriotempowerment.org) is a vital organization that provides crucial support to active-duty military personnel as they transition back to civilian life. From career development to mental health resources, PEI’s programs ensure that these brave individuals have the tools they need to succeed in their next chapter. Supporting such a meaningful cause aligns perfectly with our company’s commitment to strengthening communities and honoring the sacrifices of our nation’s heroes.
The evening was nothing short of extraordinary. Attendees enjoyed a stunning view of the harbor, delicious food and drinks, and the opportunity to connect with others passionate about making a difference for our troops. One of the highlights of the night was a moving speech by actor and former recon Marine Rudy Reyes, star of HBO’s mini-series Generation Kill. Rudy’s captivating stories about his time in the military and the deep brotherhood he shares with PEI’s own Steve Garcia left everyone in attendance inspired and profoundly grateful.
“The ‘Toast to the Troops’ is more than just a fundraising event; it is a celebration of resilience, camaraderie, and the enduring spirit of those who serve”, said Precision’s CEO, Ben Garcia. “The event also serves as a networking opportunity allowing our active-duty military to connect with prominent business and political leaders. PSU is proud to stand alongside the Patriot Empowerment Institute in its mission to empower transitioning service members. Together, we will help ensure that no one is left behind as they embark on their journey to civilian life.” We extend our heartfelt thanks to PEI for organizing such a meaningful event, to Rudy Reyes for his incredible words, and to all the attendees and supporters who made the night unforgettable. At PSU, we remain steadfast in our commitment to supporting our military and their families, today and every day.
