🇺🇸🏆⛳ WE HAVE A NATIONAL CHAMPION IN OUR RANKS! ⛳🏆🇺🇸
Please join the entire Wounded Warriors in Action Foundation (WWIA) family in extending a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to WWIA Guide, Event Host, and Board Member, Mr. Matthew Brannon, on winning his division and flight and earning the prestigious title of Veteran Golfers Association (VGA) National Champion! 🇺🇸 👏🏻
Matt's leadership, determination, resilience, and never-quit attitude are a testament to the character and heart of the man we've come to know and respect. We are honored, privileged, and blessed to have him as part of the WWIA family! 💜
But behind this incredible victory is an even greater story of perseverance, grit, and the unwavering support of those who believe in him.
❤️ We couldn't tell that story any better than Matt's biggest supporter, his wife, Candace. We're honored to share her heartfelt words about the journey, the comeback, and the champion she knows best.
🇺🇸 IN THE WORDS OF CANDACE BRANNON: 🇺🇸
Everyone loves a good comeback story… and this one is Matt’s. ❤️ 🇺🇸 ⛳️
After a tough first day at the VGA National Championship, Matt was discouraged… well.. he was mad at himself more than anything. His golf game wasn’t going the way he had hoped, and he was really hard on himself. And now with a hurt hand (his own fault 🙄—haha)
But he didn’t quit.
He showed up the next day, put the first round behind him, and fought his way back to become a VGA NATIONAL CHAMPION! 🏆
That’s what makes this victory so special. It’s not just about the trophy and all the other gifts given to him. It’s about the comeback. It’s about getting knocked down, choosing to get back up, and believing you still have something left to give.
And now, as the VGA National Champion, he (we 💁🏼♀️)gets to go to The Masters and be recognized for this incredible accomplishment. 🥹 💚 ⛳️
I couldn’t be prouder of you, Matt. Your story has always been one of perseverance, courage, and overcoming. This is just another chapter.
What a comeback. What a victory.❤️ 🇺🇸 🏆
