One Month…
One month later. Families are still torn apart, loss of life has still happened Israel is still in pain from October 7th. I watched most of the House of Representatives Time with actual Israeli Families suffering. One mother mentioned the head games she has had to deal with. Several phone calls of people saying they…

Veterans in Congress
Did you know we have more Representatives in Congress that have served in Combat? In the past decade who knows best how the world views America more than our own Veterans?

Listening to Uncle Tom
Interviewing Veterans was still a new experience for me. One of my teachers from high school gave a few of us a graduation gift.

Hoosiers Everywhere Are Mourning
Growing up in Southern Indiana there aren’t too many of us who don’t know the name Bobby Knight. This coach is legendary and my Dad just happens to also be a high school basketball player back in his day. I have seen the video of him throwing the chair multiple times in my life even…
