Welcome Stardust Listeners and thank you for joining us on United We Roll this Tuesday, the 8th day of June, 2010 as we take time to honor those who serve our country and who protect our freedom!!

We have three great visits with 4 guests who are currently serving in Iraq and Kyrgzystan. The show will stay within our normal 2 hour period, ending at 4:00pm. Remember, if you are not able to stay with us through the show this afternoon, it will repeat again tomorrow evening, Wednesday, June 9th at 6:30pm Central. In addition, an MP3 copy will be placed on our show archive site for listening and downloading. You can reach our archive site at www.stardustradio.info or on the United We Roll page at www.stardustradio.com.

(2:07pm) During our first visit today, we will be talking with Army PFC Paul Montis who is currently deployed with the HHC 2-7 IN 3ID (2-7 Infantry of the 3rd Infantry Division). Having reached almost the halfway point in his 12 month deployment, PFC Montis just returned from his 2 week RnR (vacation) and faces the rest of his tour of duty as his unit will participate in the draw down process in Iraq. Trained to be in the driver seat of a Bradley, but working in radio transmissions because the Bradley had not arrived, PFC Montis had not received a day off since his arrival last December. This young Iowa native has a lot to share with us today, and we thank him for protecting our freedom.

(2:31pm) During our visits with members who are deployed to Transit Center Manas, we have learned about a variety of the jobs that are there in conjunction with the services for the members who travel through the base on their way into and out of Afghanistan. Today we are going to have a much closer look at this area as we visit with MSgt Jerry Molina and TSgt Juan DeJesus of the 376th ELRS/ETDC (Expeditionary Logistics Readiness Sqdn/Exp Theater Distribution Center). Both of these airmen work in an area that requires a strong but very caring heart, as they provide equipment to those men and women going into Afghanistan and receive the equipment back from those who are on their way home. This is a visit that clearly shows how our members in uniform look after each other.

(3:24) Our third and final visit for today is with Col James "Lindy" Linder, who is currently deployed as the commander of the 407th Air Expeditionary Group at Ali Base in Iraq. Col Linder is very involved in the draw down process, especially as it effects Ali Base, and he shares a wealth of information that will help us to understand more about the draw down, the changeover of bases to the Iraqi government and some of the steps that are being taken even as we speak. This is an incredibly informational visit and we do hope to visit with Col Linder again before he heads home, time permitting.

We would like to thank some folks without whom these visits would not be possible. Our deepest appreciation goes to SrA White, SSG Viss, MSgt Habisch, Mr Conning & CPT Schultheiss. We also want to wish a Happy Homecoming to SMSgt Alford and to Maj Conway, both of whom were instrumental in bringing us wonderful visits with many of our deployed Heroes of Freedom. We thank you for everything you did to help us, and for everything that you and your families do on behalf of our country and freedom.

Ladies & Gentlemen, we wish to thank all of you for joining us today and we hope that you will be with us again next week when we will have more great visits from our Heroes of Freedom.

Our hearts and prayers go out to all of our military members, families, Veterans and to all of our first responders & their families - everyone who puts their lives on hold and on the line for us and our families.

We would like to remind our Veterans, active duty members, family members and anyone who is interested in health and legislative issues that affect those who protect our freedom to tune in to our other broadcasts – OFFE with Gene Simes and Jere Berry at 8pm Central on Tuesday nights and also with Rick Townsend and Firebase Network Sundays at 6:00pm Central.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL & MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA!
