A Story That Truly Made a Difference
In 2019, David encountered a homeless combat veteran whose benefits had been stolen, leaving him without resources, stability, or support. Faced with a situation that many might have walked past, David chose to step in and help.
Through determination and advocacy, David assisted in securing the veteran a place at the Georgia War Veterans Home in Milledgeville, providing access to care, structure, and dignity at a critical moment. When the COVID-19 pandemic later created additional challenges, David continued to support the veteran through the uncertainty.
Ultimately, the veteran was reunited with his family—an outcome made possible because David chose compassion and action over indifference.
A Reflection of Aggressor’s Values
“David’s story reminds us that real impact often comes from one person choosing to act,” said Wayne Brown, CEO of Aggressor Adventures®.
“His willingness to step in, advocate, and follow through reflects the very best of human character. We are honored to recognize David for making a true difference in someone’s life.”
Honoring Meaningful Impact
The Making A Difference Award celebrates individuals whose actions create lasting, positive change. David McDonough’s story is a powerful example of how empathy and perseverance can transform lives—and why stories like his deserve to be shared. As part of this recognition, David will receive a complimentary liveaboard trip for two aboard an Aggressor Adventures yacht in the Caribbean destination of his choice, allowing him to experience the same spirit of connection and exploration that defines Aggressor Adventures.
