11/17/07 Point. Your eyes are straight ahead, left, right, up, down…looking for any motion, anything that is out of place, any shape that shouldn’t be there. Your ears are tuned to every sound…or silence. Your vision is that of a hawk and your hearing like that of a deer. Your senses are as acute as any animal; and in order to survive the next moment, they must be. You are walking…Point

Join host Gary Lillie as he interviews a man who walked point in the jungles of Vietnam and lived to share his stories with us.

11/24/07 Pride and Honor Flight. Pride and Honor Flight is an organization dedicated to transporting World War II veterans to visit their memorials in Washington, D.C. Many veterans of that era no longer have the energy or the money to make the trip on their own, so volunteers raised the funds, arranged the details and flew the veterans to Washington and back on a single day. The veterans were shown soaking up the experience and discussing how grateful they were for the opportunity to finally see the monument to their service, which opened in 2004. These trips are free of charge to the veteran. Join Ken Rogge and his guests, Earl Morse, the originator of The Honor Flight program in Ohio and, Faye Wiseley, originator of the Pride and Honor Flight program in Dexter, Michigan. The stories you will hear will bring tears to you eyes. Maybe you’ll end up as a volunteer with the Honor Flight program in your hometown.
