DOESN’T HAVE TO BE TOLD TO PAUSE
AT 3 * MONDAY.
FRANK SILLER, THANK YOU.
MANY AMERICANS LOOK AFTER THE
FAMILY OF A FALLEN SERVICE
MEMBER. MY NEXT GUEST WANTS TO TAKE CARE
MY NEXT GUEST WANTS TO TAKE CARE
OF THOSE TAKING CARE OF OUR
NATIONS FAMILIES OF FALLEN VETS.
THE CEO AND FOUNDER OF FIELDS OF
HON YEARS WITH US NOW.
IF I DON’T GET YOU ON THE GOLF
COURSE I CAN LOOK UP IN THE SKY
AND IF I SEE A FIGHTER JET YOU
MIGHT BE FLYING IT, RIGHT?
>> WHEN I WAS 12 YEARS OLD I MET
MY FIRST FIGHTER PILOT.
IT WAS MY FIRST MAN CRUSH.
I AM NOW IN THE RECRUITING
COMMAND FOR THE UNITED STATES
AIR FORCE AND SPACE FORCE.
TRYING TO PAY THAT FORWARD AS WE
LOOK TO MEMORIAL DANE CELEBRATE
THE FACT THAT THERE IS A HALF A
PERCENT OF THIS COUNTRY THAT
WAKES UP EVERY DAY WILLING TO
SACRIFICE FOR OUR FREEDOMS.
WITHOUT THE AIR FORCE IN MY
LIFE, BRIAN, NONE OF THIS IS
EVER POSSIBLE.
IT’S BEEN SUCH A BLESSING TO ME,
AND TO GET TO PAY THAT GIFT
FORWARD FOR THE MEN AND WOMEN
WHO ARE NEXT GENERATION OF THE
SPACE FORCE IS GREAT.
AND WE ARE TAKE CARE OF THESE
FAMILIES.
BRIAN: WE KNOW THE STORY OF
LOOKING OUT TO SEE A CASKET
BEING TAKEN OFF A COMMERCIAL
JET.
YOU SAW PEOPLE NOT PAYING
ATTENTION AND YOU SAID THAT’S
NOT RIGHT.
IT’S AS IMPORTANT AS ANYTHING IN
THE COUNTRY.
I FOUND OUT BETWEEN 1% TO 2% OF
THE MILITARY SERVED.
42% OF THOSE WHO SERVE ARE
LEGACY FAMILIES.
I WAS STUNNED BY THAT STAT.
WHAT BRINGS IT HOME IS THE FACES
YOU HIGHLIGHT.
LISA SUFFERED A TRAGEDY.
>> WE KNOW THAT THERE IS A HALF
PERCENT OF THIS COUNTRY THAT
WAKES UP WILLING TO LIVE THAT
SCRIPTURE JOHN 15:13, NO GREATER
SACRIFICE THAN TO LAY DOWN ONE’S
LIFE FOR ONE’S FRIENDS.
BUT COME AROUND AND TAKE CARE OF
THOSE FAMILIES, GIVING THEM THE
GIFT AN EDUCATION.
I’M THE FATHER OF FIVE DAUGHTERS
WHICH I CAN SEE LOOK AT ME, BUT
MY GREATEST FEAR IS IF ANYTHING
HAPPENS TO ME THAT THEY WOULD BE
TAKEN CARE OF.
SPECIFICALLY GETTING AN
EDUCATION.
THAT’S WHERE FOLDS OF HONOR
STEPS IN.
THAT EDUCATION IS THE FORCE
MULTIPLIER THAT SEPARATES THIS
COUNTRY FROM OTHERS.
>> THIS WAS SPURRED BY THE DEATH
OF HER HUSBAND JOHN HALLETT WHO
WAS KILLED ON HIS TRIKER.
HE WAS ATTACKED BY AN I.E.D. IN
AFGHANISTAN.
SHE SPURRED INTO ACTION SO MANY
TIMES.
THE BEST WAY TO GETOVER YOUR
GRIEF IS TO TAKE ACTION TO HELP
OTHERS.
>> THESE MILITARY SPOUSES ARE
HEROIC.
THEY JUST NEED A HAND-UP, NOT A
HAND-OUT.
LISA IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF
JUST HOW SPECIAL THESE SPOUSES
ARE.
WHEN I RAISED MY RIGHT HAND AND
JOINED THE UNITED STATES AIR
FORCE, MY FAMILY GOES ALONG FOR
THE RIDE.
AND TO BE ABLE TO EMPOWER LISA
AND HER THREE KIDS IS SUCH A
GIFT.
AND WE CAN ALL STEP UP AND
REMEMBER AS FRANK SAID, FREEDOM
IS NOT FREE.
AND DO SOMETHING MEANINGFUL TO
SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR FREEDOM
BIZ TAKING CARE OF THESE
FAMILIES.
>> AND GOING TO FOLDS OF HONOR.
BECAUSE YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO
BE ABLE TO REPLACE THE SPOUSE OR
FATHER OR MOTHER IN THAT FAMILY,
YOU HAVE TO DO THE BEST YOU CAN
TO MAKE SURE THE FAMILIES GOES
ON AND GETS THE EDUCATION IF
THAT THE WAY THEY WANT TO GO.
NOW YOU ARE RECRUITING FOR THE
SPACE FORCE AND AIR FORCE.
COMPETING IN THE JOB FORCE
EVERYBODY WANTS TO HIRE.
THEY ARE HAVING TROUBLE
RECRUITING.
DAN, THANKS VERY MUCH.
APPRECIATE IT.
