The United We Roll World Tour show on June 10th was another two hours filled with information from and for our Heroes of Freedom. We heard about the Unmanned Air Systems (UAV) Operations – and folks, not too long ago, this would have sounded like a Saturday morning Science Fiction show. But it is very real, it is way ahead of projections and it is saving lives.
First up was Col. Chris Chambliss, Commander of the 432nd Wing – home to the Predator & Reaper Unmanned Air Systems Operations. It is from the 432nd, that pilots and sensor operators fly the MQ-1 “Predator” and its newer brother, the MQ-9 “Reaper” by technology and science. Following this extremely interesting visit, we heard even more from Col. Trey Turner, who is the commander of the 451st Air Expeditionary Group and who told us about the UAV operations from the point of view of the line-of-site pilots and sensor operators who operate these incredible craft on take-off, landing and on some local missions in the MidEast. The 451st is also involved in some other major operations such as Medical Evacuations, Special Agents and more.

Our next guest, Dr Sam, has overwhelmed our country with a new song called “Before You Go” by himself and John Melnick. This song says "Thank You" to those who fought for our freedom in past wars in the most complete and beautiful message I believe I have ever heard. This song is also accompanied by two beautiful videos, version one dedicated to Veterans of WWII & Korea and version two dedicated to our Vets from Viet Nam. Many of you are probably already familiar with Dr Sam and his music, but the story of "Before You Go" is one that will stay with you. Listen to the song and see the videos at www.beforeyougo.us
Are you looking for a way to help our wounded Vets and their families? Peggy Baker, President and Founder of Operation First Response, has found many ways to do just that – including no pay back financial help with mortgage payments, travel to medical appointments, groceries, etc., and with great events like the Walk for The Wounded. Ninety per cent of all incoming financial donations to this group go to benefit our wounded Vets and their families. Join Peggy and all the wonderful volunteers at OFR to make a difference in the lives of our neighbors & loved ones who have given so much so that we can continue to live the American life we love and enjoy everyday. www.operationfirstresponse.org
Tune in next Tuesday, June 17th, for more real news from our deployed military members and on what is happening to support our military members, families & Vets here at home.
God Bless Our Military Members, Families & Vets! God Bless Those Who Support Our Military Community! God Bless America!
