(8:05am) Greg Doolin from the TheFreedom13.org joins us to discuss Veterans Day and shares info on the Veterans Recreational Retreat project. They've purchased land in Bourbon, MO, about 80 miles southwest of St. Louis, for their first Freedom Camp retreat center. The Missouri Freedom Camp is also known as Jared’s Camp. Mark Schmitz's son, Lance Corporal Jared Schmitz, was one of 13 Marines killed in the Kabul, Afghanistan bombing. Their goal is to open 50 camps in 50 states on over 50,000 acres with a total of 650 homes to be built for veterans and their families to stay in for 1 week.

You're also invited to help Kevin & Marie Jackson and their family by contributing to the Meal Train® for their family. Kevin is recovering from brain trauma that happened during his cyst removal surgery. Meals and financial donations are very helpful as Kevin will be off work for approximately 6-12 months, and possibly indefinitely. Marie is spending most days at the hospital while still taking care of their kids. More info on how you can help their family is here: https://www.mealtrain.com/trains/17ve3q
