A note from CEO Mark J. Lindquist (02APR20)
Aloha my friends,
I am here in quarantine doing what I can to help my fellow Citizen in this time of great need. My concern is not who you vote for, I have voted for both. I served under Presidents of both parties and I serve the United States of America still. I and my companies are not so much concerned whether you are a Republican or a Democrat or anything in-between. I care that you are a human being, on planet earth, who may need our help.
I have issued a statement that my companies are not interested in bookings right now. Please direct all resources to your local American Red Cross, Food Bank, Homeless Shelter, United Way or your favorite social services nonprofit. We are working 20 hours a day to find solutions for our healthcare workers and our fellow Citizens. I have a global coalition of hundreds and soon to be thousands of Veterans all over the world from many of the countries in the world. We are standing up to serve once more. I have already been speaking out in the media against price gouging at this time of National pandemic.

My call for all Americans to do their part while in quarantine:

Story that Pulitizer Prize Winner for Investigative Reporting, Bill Dedman and I broke about pallets of N95 masks that sold for $26,000 on March 17, 2020 and before the pandemic they were selling for $100-500 per pallet:

I am doing what I can from quarantine to keep our population healthy. I'm not a doctor, but I did play one on tv. But that doesn't mean that I don't listen to the doctors who are telling me from all over the world that I should stay home.
Please tune in for free to our 16 hour a day streaming tv channel at the tab above: TheVets Media
The Vets Media is a philanthropic division of Mark J Lindquist Enterprises that 5 USAF Veterans founded in response to the global pandemic. What we are creating is a professional fundraising network with a streaming channel. Us Veterans know logistics and we have partnered with some of the most inspiring entrepreneurs in America to deliver face masks and PPE to healthcare workers Nationwide. We are a bunch of Veteran buddies who are bored at home just like you so we're delivering engaging content with Mark's network of entertainers (Broadway, Nashville, LA, Vegas, Motivational Speakers, Trainers, Magicians, Illusionists, Emcees, etc.) Engage with us at @TheVetsMedia on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. Please understand that this is just a bunch of Veterans serving the communities of gig economy workers and this is Mark's way of using his company to employ workers in MN and ND who lost their job. Be nice. We're just trying to help and I'm not making any money from donors. I lived a life that was neat enough that National brands are trusting me to represent their product to my audience, so I hope nobody faults me for finding a creative way to make a living now that I don't have a job just like many gig economy workers.
Mark does not take one single dime of donated dollars. He has endorsement deals with National brands that are making up for his lost income as a gig economy performer. **NOTE I'm just an entrepreneur doing what he can for his community. I'm using my company to help. BNG (Fargo Based Payment Processor) is partnering with me to provide real time hourly updates to the donations that come in and Mark J Lindquist Enterprises has made a public pledge that I will personally make zero dollars from donations given during this "Jerry Lewis Telethon" type event. Will I help my friends and give them jobs as a part of this campaign? Yes. Absolutely. That's the whole point. I'm doing what I can for my industry, and I hope this sparks a movement so others do similar campaigns for the causes and people they believe in.
So you're really helping support displaced workers in our area. I'm just a catalyst. I know these are trying times and it's hard to know who to trust, but I'm here for people. I have the integrity to ask 10 of our local Mayors around the Red River Valley to oversee this effort and I'll open my books to any Mayor who asks. I'm just trying to help and my friends and I stand ready to serve the country.
As a result of a bootstrapped and fast-tracked grassroots effort to serve from quarantine, I am not offering a tax-deductible donation. This is just for giving from the heart because it's the right thing to do. With me, you can trust that 100% of the public's donated dollar goes to the cause. Again, I have endorsement deals for awesome brands who are keeping my rent paid (I lost my job too).
During this time of crisis, I am serious about serving the country. I have offered to over a dozen mayors in the upper midwest (my former home) my support and many of them who were gracious to step away from their crisis management (I assume) have thrust their support behind my fundraising efforts. I have also offered for any of those local mayors to look at my books to make sure that the money is going to where we said it would go. Now is not the time to pull back and not help because you fear the worst... now is the time to serve, and serve while being a responsible Citizen at home.
You may be a client or a Citizen who stumbled upon this webpage and are really turned off by this posting on my website. I only care that you are healthy. I have too many friends in Italy on ventilators and friends in NYC who are scared and have tested positive.
Please. Stay. Home.
Health and happiness,
Mark J Lindquist

P.S. This is a crazy time. I have no idea if this is the right thing to do... but I am a believer that if I'm trying to help people, I can't go wrong. Please join me and my Veteran buddies as we try to help people, especially healthcare workers in Minnesota and North Dakota.
