Welcome Stardust Listeners and thank you for joining us on United We Roll this Tuesday, the 27th day of July, as we take time to honor those who serve our country and who protect our freedom!! It is amazing to realize that this is already our last show for the month of July in this year of 2010!

For those of you who are planning to make cards or small gifts for Christmas Care Packages for our troops, you should have your list of materials made out and be ready to go, unless you are waiting for school to start and are going to make this a class project. In that case, you should try to have your class projects completed by the end of October to allow adequate mailing time.

Now on to our show for this week. We have three fresh new visits with four of our deployed Heroes of Freedom. The show today will actually end at our usual time of 4:00pm Central, which puts us within our usual two hour period. Remember, if you are not able to stay with us through the show this afternoon, it will repeat again tomorrow evening, Wednesday, July 28th 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.

(2:07) During our first visit, we will be talking with Air Force members TSgt John Holloman & SrA Jonathan Killebrew who are currently deployed with the 532nd ESFS (Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron). Unlike many iof the other security members with whom we have spoken, these airmen work mostly off base or "outside the wire" as the term goes. Though they carry snacks and water with them, they are currently in temperatures of 120+ degrees and wearing 75 pounds of gear, which leaves feeling little like eating until they get back and cool off. This is a great visit with two very dedicated service members who ask only that we keep them in our prayers.

(2:48) Our next visit is with Army CPT Robert Leonard who is currently on deployment as the Signal Company Commander with B Co, 1-3 BTSB, 3rd ID. The Signal Company, as you will hear, is in charge of all communications within the Brigade and, as the commander, CPT Leonard manages the personnel and equipment that support the Brigade communications network. This job keeps everyone busy, including the commander and all of the "excellent soldiers" (as CPT Leonard proudly refers to his unit members). This is a very inspirational visit and one that I hope you all will not miss.

(3:27pm) Our third and final visit is with another Army member who is on deployment. We will be speaking with Army SPC Nicholas Piere of D Co, 2-7 IN, 3rd ID, where he continues his work as a CBRNE
Specialist and as a COIST Assistant. SPC Piere trains soldiers in his unit as on how to react to and handle chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and high-yield explosives. As a COIST Assistant, he also works with Iraqi Intelligence in preparation for the draw down. This young Hero of Freedom expresses his True American Pride and military family heritage as reasons that encouraged his service and protection of our freedom.
We would also like to thank some folks without whom these visits today would not be possible. Our deepest appreciation goes to TSG Jennifer Buzanowski, Mr Tom Conning and Capt Curt Schultheis.

We want to acknowledge Talking Communities, the Veteran owned service that brings us our Chat Star Teleconference Facility with state of the art private rooms and audio visual supports. If you need a place to host business seminars, display products or have a craft demo, or maybe you need to have a family celebration with members who are scattered around the US or the world. This is the place to see, hear, speak, show and text each other. For more information, contact the Stardust Radio business office at 319-648-3201.

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

To all of our Veterans and all military family members who are listening, thank you for your service and for our freedom. To all of our First Responders and family members, thank you for watching over our families, homes and communities.

Once again, we would like to remind any of our listeners who are 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.

Please remember, it is up to us at home to help our troops, not only with letters and care packages, but also by being aware of legislation in our states and in DC that will impact them and their families. We must do our part to insure that our Heroes of Freedom receive the benefits and health care that they deserve for keeping our country safe and free. It is the least that we can do for them and it is part of what we must do to help insure freedom for our children.

We wish you all a good, safe and healthy week.
May God Bless You All And May God Bless America!
