HONOR FLIGHT TAKES OFF


Honor THE “Greatest Generation”
Honor Flight of Southern Colorado launched with the intent of sending our
Southern Colorado Veterans to Washington D.C. With NORAD and USNORTHCOM, Fort Carson, the United States Air Force Academy, Peterson & Schriever Air Force Bases all located in Southern Colorado, it just made sense. We are dedicated to transporting as many of our approximately 23,000 Veterans to their memorials.

Their Mission
Honor Flight Network is a non-profit organization created solely to honor America's Veterans for all their sacrifices. We transport our heroes to
Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect at their memorials. Top priority is given to the senior Veterans – World War II Veterans, along with those other Veterans who may be terminally ill.

WE MUST ACT NOW!
Of all of the wars in recent memory, it was World War II that truly threatened our very existence as a nation—and as a culturally diverse, free society. Now, with over one thousand World War II Veterans dying each day, our time to express our thanks to these rave men and women is running out.

Plot Summary;
Terrorists are entering the United States through all of its borders, the US-Canadian border, US-Mexican border, through its waterways and private airports. This documentary pieces together many stories never before revealed to the public by undercover federal agents, the senior council to the 9/11 Commission, local and state law enforcement officials, and terrorism experts. Combining their expert testimony and stories with my personal story of why I made the this film, America's non-war on terrorism will be revealed and how each of us is affected everyday.

READING OF NAMES OF THOSE KILLED IN COMBAT


I will be part of this event. I be reading names for an hour either Sunday or Monday morning. I have done it in the past and can tell you it is a very simple, respectful and powerful event. It is neither pro-war, nor anti-war. It simply remembers all of those who have given their lives for our freedoms.

MY MOTHER



This is my mother.
Almost every single thing inside of me that is good can be traced back to her.
She died early, way too early, but I still try to make her proud.
Have a ways to go, but am working on it every day.
Richard

QUOTES ABOUT MOTHERS


The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new. ~Rajneesh

I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life. ~Abraham Lincoln

Some mothers are kissing mothers and some are scolding mothers, but it is love just the same, and most mothers kiss and scold together. ~Pearl S. Buck

If you have a mom, there is nowhere you are likely to go where a prayer has not already been. ~Robert Brault

The real religion of the world comes from women much more than from men - from mothers most of all, who carry the key of our souls in their bosoms. ~Oliver Wendell Holmes

The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness. ~Honoré de Balzac

He is a poor son whose sonship does not make him desire to serve all men's mothers. ~Harry Emerson Fosdick

Thou art thy mother's glass, and she in thee
Calls back the lovely April of her prime.
~William Shakespeare

An ounce of mother is worth a pound of clergy. ~Spanish Proverb

When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child. ~Sophia Loren

Motherhood is priced
Of God, at price no man may dare
To lessen or misunderstand.
~Helen Hunt Jackson

Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain they are their own. ~Aristotle

~William Goldsmith Brown

What are Raphael's Madonnas but the shadow of a mother's love, fixed in permanent outline forever? ~Thomas Wentworth Higginson

The formative period for building character for eternity is in the nursery. The mother is queen of that realm and sways a scepter more potent than that of kings or priests. ~Author Unknown

I love my mother as the trees love water and sunshine - she helps me grow, prosper, and reach great heights. ~Terri Guillemets

[A] mother is one to whom you hurry when you are troubled. ~Emily Dickinson

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts. ~Washington Irving

That best academy, a mother's knee. ~James Russell Lowell

A mother's arms are made of tenderness and children sleep soundly in them. ~Victor Hugo

Grown don't mean nothing to a mother. A child is a child. They get bigger, older, but grown? What's that suppose to mean? In my heart it don't mean a thing. ~Toni Morrison

There is an instinct in a woman to love most her own child - and an instinct to make any child who needs her love, her own. ~Robert Brault

A mother's happiness is like a beacon, lighting up the future but reflected also on the past in the guise of fond memories. ~Honoré de Balzac

A father may turn his back on his child, brothers and sisters may become inveterate enemies, husbands may desert their wives, wives their husbands. But a mother's love endures through all. ~Washington Irving

A mom forgives us all our faults, not to mention one or two we don't even have. ~Robert Brault

One good mother is worth a hundred schoolmasters. ~George Herbert

A little girl, asked where her home was, replied, "where mother is." ~Keith L. Brooks

Youth fades; love droops; the leaves of friendship fall; A mother's secret hope outlives them all. ~Oliver Wendell Holmes

Most of all the other beautiful things in life come by twos and threes, by dozens and hundreds. Plenty of roses, stars, sunsets, rainbows, brothers and sisters, aunts and cousins, comrades and friends - but only one mother in the whole world. ~Kate Douglas Wiggin

My mother had a slender, small body, but a large heart - a heart so large that everybody's joys found welcome in it, and hospitable accommodation. ~Mark Twain

The desolation and terror of, for the first time, realizing that the mother can lose you, or you her, and your own abysmal loneliness and helplessness without her. ~Francis Thompson

All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel Mother. ~Abraham Lincoln

Women who miscalculate are called mothers. ~Abigail Van Buren

One lamp - thy mother's love - amid the stars
Shall lift its pure flame changeless, and before
The throne of God, burn through eternity -
Holy - as it was lit and lent thee here.
~Nathaniel Parker Willis

No one in the world can take the place of your mother. Right or wrong, from her viewpoint you are always right. She may scold you for little things, but never for the big ones. ~Harry Truman

God could not be everywhere, so he created mothers. ~Jewish Proverb

Because I feel that in the heavens above
The angels, whispering one to another,
Can find among their burning tears of love,
None so devotional as that of "Mother,"
Therefore, by that dear name I have long called you,
You who are more than mother unto me.
~Edgar Allan Poe

The best conversations with mothers always take place in silence, when only the heart speaks. ~Carrie Latet

FORMER NAVY SEAL ON TODAY'S PROGRAM


Today's guest was retired Navy SEAL Don Shipley
He runs Extreme Seal Experience

NAVY SEAL TRAINING...

As a retired Navy SEAL of 24-years service, I train, direct, supervise, and I'm responsible for every aspect of the Navy SEAL BUD/S Preparation Training conducted here.

All my friends are Navy SEALs, family members are Navy SEALs, all our Training Instructors are Navy SEALs, and when you get through BUDS Training in the Navy, you'll be stationed in San Diego or "here" in Norfolk, Virginia at a SEAL Team.

I work my ASS OFF to show you guys, younger or older, what Navy SEAL, BUDS Training and ALL US Military Special Forces training programs are like.

I keep the prices as LOW as possible, and provide BUD/S Preparation Training here that is only second to actual SEAL Training in the Navy.

Guys come here to better themselves through adversity, they come here to “WIN.” Nobody pays for a course to lose or feel bad about themselves, nobody comes here to take last place, get embarrassed, or be humiliated.

There is NEVER a good reason to lower someone’s self esteem or confidence.

There is NEVER a good reason to destroy someone’s dreams.

Running a “Proper” training course requires skill, YEARS of experience, and die-hard motivation to get it right and show guys what SEAL Training in the Navy really like.

Grab a weapon; get on the Helo… I’ll show you what Special Forces Training is like… and you'll have a HOOT...
Call 757-572-7203 to sign up...
