We’ve got another outstanding episode for you today as WWIA Founder and CEO, John McDaniel proudly introduces us to a man who has gone above and beyond in his passion and pursuit to honor and serve America’s combat-wounded veterans. Today, we welcome Mr. John Everett, affectionately known as “Jello" John to the WWIA Podcast. John has been a central figure and member of Team Erie for 11 years, which hosts the Lake Erie Trophy Walleye Fishing Event for our Heroes each year in Ashtabula, Ohio. With the assistance of his family and friends, John has also graciously spearheaded an annual fundraiser over the past six years which has been a massive success in support of Team Erie’s annual event. John is a perfect example of how Patriots across North America can come together and make life-changing impacts on America’s veterans.

John McDaniel

Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) John J. McDaniel founded Wounded Warriors in Action Foundation in 2007 and established its corporate headquarters in Apollo Beach, Florida. A retired Army officer, John felt that his service to the nation was not yet finished. He started as a concerned citizen taking a few Wounded Warriors out on hunting and fishing trips, but quickly saw that the need for this kind of healing was greater than he could support on his own. In 2009 WWIA was granted 501(c)(3) nonprofit status and has been changing the lives of American Heroes and American Sportsmen and women across the country ever since.
