"Jacob is hands down the motivational speaker you want if you desire to have an 'in your face' reality lesson on the cost of our freedom and what the great men and women of our military sacrifice and endure to provide us that freedom. Through his humor and real life stories of sacrifice, he reminds us all what makes America great and that we are all worth fighting for."
