Welcome Stardust Listeners and thank you for joining us on United We Roll this Tuesday, the 17th day of August, as we once again take time to honor those who serve our country and who protect our freedom!

Now on to our show for this week. We have five new visits with five of our deployed Heroes of Freedom. The show Today will actually end at 5:05pm CDT, approximately one hour beyond our normal 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, August 11th at 6:30pm Central. In addition, after the shows have been broadcast, 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

(2:08pm) During our first visit, we will be talking with Air Force member SMSgt Anthony "Tony" Staut, who is currently deployed with the 332nd Expeditionary Operations Support Squadron as a Medevac EMT on fixed wing aircraft such as the C-130, C-17 and KC-135

(2:50pm) Our next visit is with Army Sgt Bonnie Clark, currently on duty in Iraq with the HHC, 1-3 AAB, 3rd ID. As a Human Resource member with the 1-3 Advise and Assist Brigade, Sgt Clark wears more hats and handles more tasks than most stateside personnel offices would ever hope to see and the draw down is adding to the work load.

(3:21pm) During our third visit, we will be speaking with Army Sgt Arttory Benson, who is on his second deployment and is serving with F Co, TF 2-7, 1-3 AAB, 3rd ID. Sgt Benson is assigned as a truck driver and is part of the unit that delivers supplies to the smaller FOB's(Forward Operating Bases) that are around them and/or belong to their brigade.

(3:46pm) For our fourth visit, we will be hearing from Army 1LT Rachel Adair who is deployed as the Company XO (Executive Officer) with G Co. TF 1, 41st FA (Field Artillery), 1st AAB (Advise & Assist Brigade), 3rd ID (Infantry Division).

(4:22pm) Our fifth and final visit for today is a unique treat as we visited with Army Sgt Troy Ruffin (Medevac/EMT) in April, during the early part of his one year deployment and we are catching up with him again to see how things are changing with his unit as the draw down is impacting more and more units in Iraq. (B Co. 2-7 IN, 3rd ID)

Before we wrap up, we want to acknowledge and thank 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 your 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!
