What's Leo's story?
There once was a guy. Goofy looking. Blonde buzz cut. Blue utility navy uniform.
There was also this girl, with a walking boot and crutches. Both were standing in formations ready for names to be called for the next class for technical training.
Both names were called.
Classes came and went. On a rainy April day under a now-removed pavilion on an abandoned section of Naval Air Station Pensacola, a wedding proposal was made. Both departed: one going east, one going west.
They waited six months for a wedding. The engagement was a test to see if the relationship remained strong through distance and time.
GoFundMe

Leo's Merch
...is still on the family storefront for the original price he picked.
