    Episode 227: "PANCAKES!” THE PEOPLE'S PATRIOT PROJECT 17 November 2024 WGY6@6 - Patriot Playtime
    Nov 20 2024
    When you have the drive to move, and the background of a father who was inspiring and supportive, what can you get done? Our guest this week hails from the great state of Missouri, and has found her place in NYC. She owns and runs an insurance company, is a professional witness, has written and book and become a keynote speaker, and is always on the go. Listen in as she shares how her father was an inspiration to her, in words and actions, and she has used that to inspire and coach others, as well as remember and honor her father. Susan Combs will entertain and captivate as she shares her upbringing and the lessons she learned. A new name to the People’s Patriot Project, Allen Hayes brings some depth and fun to the show on this episode. He was fresh off a trip to Camp Southern Grounds where he got to write songs with and meet 11 other veteran musicians for the first time. Allen spent 8 years in the Air Force where he was an F-16 Pilot. He says it’s all fun until you’re in the war. His first song was Over and Over and he said it was about knowing that you can never take that uniform off once you put it on. You will always be a soldier. The next song was Little Things about being a dad. This song was written for his son, Liam. He got the chance to play this song for his son at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville. The last song was called Smoke Show. This is a get up, get out there and dance song. It’s about when a girl walks into a bar and can captivate the entire bar with her dancing ability.

    Episode 226 “The Healing Skills of Fishing” THE PEOPLE'S PATRIOT PROJECT - 10 November 2024 WGY6@6
    Nov 20 2024
    How can you combine fun and healing? During this episode, we find out how Walleye Searchers of Minnesota combine fun with camraderie and turn it into moments of healing. This group has been running fishing tournaments for a long time and when they put on their veterans fishing tournament, there are always surprises throughout the day. From deep conversations out on the water to seeing a buddy you haven’t seen since Vietnam, this group is amazing! The healing skills of fishing are shared by the board members Caleb Buenger, Nick Dennison and Kevin Valento. These are representatives from Walleye Searchers of Minnesota, and they are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. They love to fish, and they have found that by sharing this love, they can help veterans and make them feel cared for. Lack of a musician does not mean we skipped the music this time. We chose of few of our favorites (joke is on you - they are all our favorite!). We started out with Minnesota native group, Lake and Lyndale. The song, Still Here, is a peppy song that has the most amazing vocals. We then played Bury These Bones by David Allen Stone, and that one has a haunting tale of coming home without you Battle Buddies. We then finished with a song by our new friend, Mikele Buck, who’s Irish Road song tells the story of the road dubbed the ‘most dangerous’ in Bagdad that was traveled by many of our soldiers. Mikele does an amazing job giving honor to those who have been there. Next Week's Guests: Susan Combs with Pancakes for Roger Music with Allen Hayes The People’s Patriot Project exists to be the shock and awe when combating the deadly and invisible enemy that is killing our heroes. We will move forward building with new and old friends and loyalty, and with our boots on and ready to serve those who have served. WE are ready to Be a part OF, not apart FROM, and WE will conquer the world of PTSD and #suicide of our service people. Remembering is not enough, and there is #strength in asking for help, Even If It Hurts. While Only You are responsible for your own problems, there is still help and support for you.

    If you have ever been unsure of your excitement, of lack of, for your country and what freedoms we have, please listen to this episode. You will want to Stand Up and let your patriotism shine! The team from THE PEOPLE’S PATRIOT PROJECT visits with two amazing guests this week, and you will leave with no doubt that we live in the greatest place on earth! There are many factors in this conversation that will connect the dots, but no matter where you stand on the road of democracy, the night with these two will lift your spirits and keep you in a positive frame of mind. We start out with Col (Ret) Mikel Burroughs sharing what he has been up to. Burroughs is involved in many projects and events, and he is always lending a hand to help support our military members. One of the most exciting is the news about hyperbaric chambers, not new, but more availability to those who have served. This is a great topic about healing and relieving pain! Mikel is also heavily involved with Victory for Veterans and tells how they are championing their world and reaching out to all. Music on this episode is supplied by our friend, Dave Bray USA! Dave brings the energy and talent that he uses to do good. It is without fail that he entertains, teaches and loves his country with a passion! Dave started out explaining his love for his country, and we listen to his upbeat version of The Star Spangled Banner. This is followed by his explanation of his newer song, Stand Up, written with his passion of supporting first responders and the daily grind as they fight to keep our communities safe. The last song Dave shares is his respectful Halleluja song. He took the liberty to change the lyrics and make them to support our first responders and what they go through on the daily. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers as we enter this hot presidential election and the holidays coming up.

    Episode 220 - THE PEOPLE'S PATRIOT PROJECT -- “What Does the Reflection in the Mirror Tell You?” 29 September 2024
    Oct 3 2024
    It is the end of Suicide Awareness Month, and we will not stop combating this deadly enemy. There is no single answer, no single fool-proof therapy or counseling method that will keep this from happening. It will take all of us and we will need to work together to keep this demon at bay. This is an episode that shares insights from William Stephens. From his beginnings in Desert Storm, with stories of his deployment as a forward observer, to where he is today, William Stephens shares his experiences and what led him to write his book, The Mirror. The Mirror delves into the lives of individuals grappling with various traumatic events, illnesses, and disorders, with the author personally navigating through post-traumatic stress disorder. It serves as an uplifting read for those battling their inner demons stemming from past traumas. Stephens labels this work as therapeutic poetry, comprising simple verses and short stories aimed at guiding readers on a journey beyond the surface. Drawing heavily from personal experiences, particularly within the military and relationships, from childhood to the present day. The Broken Mirror will be out soon - Halloween, which deals with post-service and how he is mending the relationships that were broken while he was gone. Stephens is a persistent person, and his perseverance is driven by the desire to get the word out and help others deal with things he has seen and experienced through service. The help he hopes to accomplish is not just for those who have served … it is for anyone who has PTSD they are dealing with.
