Tom Kilgannon was on Oscar Mike Radio for Number 273 (https://oscarmikeradio.com/273-thomas-kilgannon-freedom-alliance/) almost a year ago. He came back to update me on programs, services, and scholarships for children of deceased Veterans. As you will hear, a lot can happen in a year, and it is an exciting time at Freedom Alliance.

Freedom Alliance has partnered with War Heroes on Water to provide deep-sea fishing experience for Combat Veterans and is looking at more ways to expand on the relationships that have been developed. Relationships are the foundation for successful advocacy, and Freedom Alliance has a long history of success. 

Thank you, Tim, for talking with me and for Freedom Alliance’s continued service to our nation’s heroes. You can go to https://freedomalliance.org/ to learn more and support the work Freedom Alliance is doing.

323 – Tom Kilgannon – Freedom Alliance

I know it is a holiday week but didn’t want to pause. 2022 has been a challenging but good year. I am excited as 2022 comes to a close because 2023 means more improvement and more ways to connect people with the amazing things Veterans and our military are doing. 
A big thank you to my sponsors and supporters, Joyce Asack of Asack Real Estate, and Army National Guard Veteran Mark Holmes of Reaper’s Detailing and Power washing. Your mentorship has helped me grow in so many ways. 
My Veteran Owned Business supporters serve a unique role for Oscar Mike Radio. They have supported fundraisers and their support means people can see the amazing things Veterans do! 
Finally, I must give a big shout to Keith Hayes of Sinista1 Productions. We have known each other for almost seven years, and we still have the fire to improve on our craft. What you have done for OMR can’t be duplicated and I can’t wait to see where we are in seven years! 
Thank you to everyone who has taken time out of their day to listen, watch, share and chime on the live chats. You all make this work, and I am nothing without your continued engagement and support. The mission is in flight for 2023!

324 – 2022 Year End Close Out

I opened the cover to “Time of Flight” and began to read with great interest. I like helicopters and Spencer Emch’s experience of being in the U.S. Army as an Apache pilot captivated me. 
Spencer’s story isn’t a traditional military book sense in many respects. After reading it through the second time, I liked that Spencer took a different approach to tell his story about the relationship with his fellow pilots and the AH-64 Apache.
I feel at its core, “Time of Flight” is about relationships. There is no “Army of One’. We don’t fight alone, and it is those relationships soldiers have with each other that make for mission accomplishment. When Spencer transitions out of the military, making new relationships in a new place helped him immensely. 
Take your time when reading, “Time of Flight”, it is more than just a story about flying a helicopter. 
Go to Tactical 16 Publishing and order Time of Flight! (https://shop.aer.io/Tactical_16/p/Time_of_Flight_A_Gun_Pilots_Story/9781943226689-8314).
 Also, check out Spencer on the Author Page (https://tactical16.com/spencer-emch-author/)! Thank you, Spencer, for talking with me it would be cool to jam sometime!
