However, in recent days, the 20-year Army retiree and his wife have persevered and received a resounding amount of local and national support after the unexplained fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two days after the fire, they set up a makeshift food stand to grill hot dogs and garner support and donations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Squatchy\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SquatchysBBQ\/?fref=mentions\">BBQ Facebook page<\/a> highlighted the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FSquatchysBBQ%2Fposts%2F416785695487064&#038;width=500\"\nwidth=\"500\" height=\"707\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\"\nscrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowTransparency=\"true\" allow=\"encrypted-media\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That day, friends of the Lorraine family and Squatchy\u2019s BBQ starting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/squatchy039s-bbq-rebuild-campaign\">GoFundMe page<\/a> to raise a goal of $25,000 to help make up for the loss of the trailer. In the days following, multiple local media outlets reported about the misfortune, and they were interviewed live July 19 in a national news segment on <a href=\"http:\/\/video.foxnews.com\/v\/5811101996001\/?playlist_id=1484128321001#sp=show-clips\">Fox and Friends<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe received so much support. I am shocked and floored that we were able to meet our goal,\u201d said Jason Lorraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The GoFundMe fundraiser raised slightly more than its intended goal and donations are still being accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The comments section of the page is filled with supportive messages, including notes from veterans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMSgt. USAF ret. Here. \u201cNever give up, never quit,\u201d wrote Tony Doering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jason Lorraine retired from the Army after 20 years of Military Police service. He completed four deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan during his time in uniform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His teenage daughters are following his footsteps. Kelsey, 19, is in the Air Force and Courtney, 18, is headed for Army basic training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Business was going well for the co-owners of Squatchy\u2019s BBQ until the trailer was destroyed. Now Jason Lorraine expresses a positive outlook and growth plans for his BBQ business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI am currently in the process of acquiring a venue for a brick and mortar location for Squatchy\u2019s,&#8221; he told Military Times. &#8220;Despite what happened, having a Squatchy\u2019s home-base will be great. We absolutely plan to have another food trailer or truck to send out to events.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Lorraine\u2019s are looking to open a location \u201cASAP,\u201d said Jason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His major concern though is maintaining a reputation of quality BBQ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy smoker was completely lost. You can\u2019t use something that is cheap and produces poor quality,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So if anyone out there knows of a quality smoker for a good price, that would greatly help!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Army retiree is rebuilding his BBQ business after a devastating
