The Prideful Ones
The West Coast Tun Tavern - Bastards Canteen - 026
In episode 26 of The Prideful Ones, we sat down with Nick Velez of Bastards Canteen in Downey and Temecula California. Nick shared with us the origin of Bastards Canteen named after the 2nd Battalion 4th Marines "The Magnificent Bastards" and how the city of Downey gave him some grief on the name. He also shared how having the bar birthed their annual Marine Corp Birthday block party and from that the need to create a non profit to help veterans with PTSD and TBI called Save The Brave.
In all this Nick also mentions creating an event called Vetwork to help veterans network and make connections with local business owners.
We also touched on them partnering with one of our former guests, Veterans Stand Together. Listen in on this empowering episode on Nick's passion to help his fellow brothers and sisters from the military.
