In response he designed the <a href=\"https:\/\/covidangelofmercy.com\/home\" target=_blank>COVID Angel of Mercy<\/a>, or C.A.M., patch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Neal, 45, of Warner Robins, Georgia, watched hospitals turn into battlefields and medical personnel fight the death and destruction caused by the pandemic. He found it to be similar to his experiences in the Army and got an idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI thought about the fact that we had something to recognize us like a combat badge. I thought it would be nice if they had something similar to that,\u201d said Neal, who works as a civilian at Ft. Gordon in Georgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the start of this project, Neal said he\u2019s had orders from 32 different states, the UK, and Afghanistan. He has personally purchased 3,000 patches and says he wishes that number could be 300,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside the patches, he has set up a scholarship fund for the spouses and children of medical providers and support staff that lost their lives due to COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFifty percent of the profits go into the scholarship fund. The other 50 percent goes to me repurchasing these C.A.M.s, getting them made, shipped to me, and packaged,\u201d he said. \u201cNone of this goes to me getting rich. I am just trying to give tribute to this new set of heroes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Neal designed the patch to apply to any potential wearers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI wanted it to be something that everybody could self-identify with, so I decided to put PPE on the angel, and it took away any objective features and made it more inclusive,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He additionally designed a patch to recognize medical support staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Neal said \u201cthe guys who clean the floor, who sanitize the rooms, take out the trash \u2013 they are at the same risk as the medical providers. But no one seems to acknowledge that. Hence two versions of the C.A.M.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Army veteran Jacob Neal saw hospitals turn into battlefields due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so he designed a
