On Dec. 14, the 43rd season of “Survivor” ended with heart valve specialist Mike Gabler declared the “sole survivor.”

At 52, he is the second-oldest contestant to win the show. And while he didn’t serve in the U.S. military, he decided to donate the entirety of his $1 million winnings to veterans charities in honor of his father, Robert Gabler, a former Green Beret.

“While I’ve never been in the service myself, to have the honor to serve them is pretty profound to me,” Gabler told host Jeff Probst during the after show. “We’re gonna save lives, we’re gonna do something good. ... Million dollars is going to them. We made history guys.”

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Gabler said he made the decision before his stint on the show even began.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
