Seeley started the post in his home until the group moved into its current location, 315 Pauls Drive, Brandon. The group, in its parade entry, noted that it "prides itself in helping veterans who have and are serving in the U.S. military, in giving us the freedom we have today."

His plates on his struck signify the Purple Heart he received in the line of duty. "One medal I didn't want, but now that I got it and it's all over, I'll take it," he said. As for the continuing war in Iraq, Rodriguez said, "No matter what happens we should keep on supplying our boys out there because they need it. They need it. They need as much funding as they can get. They need it right now, they need it yesterday. Guys are hurting out there. They need care boxes that let them know we care about them."
