Operation Homefront is an organization dedicated to supporting military families by creating strong, stable, and secure environments for them. They recognize the short-term financial hardships that military families can face and strive to prevent these from turning into long-term struggles. To shed light on Operation Homefront’s vital mission and their heartwarming initiative, “Holiday Meals for Military,” we’re joined by Brigadier General Robert “Bob” Thomas, a distinguished Air Force veteran who has been an integral part of the Operation Homefront team since 2015.
Operation Homefront understands the unique challenges faced by military families, especially during the holidays. While most people are celebrating with their families, many service members are far from home, on deployments, or are separated from their loved ones. To make the holidays a bit brighter for these military families, Operation Homefront organizes “Holiday Meals for Military.” This initiative provides them with the warmth and comfort of a holiday meal and serves as a heartfelt thank-you for their service and the sacrifices they’ve made for our nation.
Operation Homefront’s “Holiday Meals for Military” is a wonderful example of the organization’s commitment to enhancing the lives of military families. They offer opportunities for individuals and organizations to get involved, whether through donations or volunteering their time. By visiting their website at https://operationhomefront.org/, you can learn more about how you can contribute to this noble cause and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who protect our freedom.
As we approach the holiday season, let’s remember the men and women in uniform and their families who make sacrifices year-round. Operation Homefront’s mission to create strong, stable, and secure military families is a testament to their dedication to those who serve. Join us in showing our appreciation by supporting “Holiday Meals for Military” and helping make the holidays a little brighter for these deserving families.

Carroll Harris served in the Marine Corps and retired as a Lt. Colonel before joining the US Postal Inspection Service.
I learned a lot about how The US Postal Inspection Service works to keep Americans safe. Operation Protect Veterans is a way to ensure our nation’s heroes are not scammed out of their benefits.
The US Postal Inspection Service & AARP worked together to create Operation Protect Veterans, ….” and provide valuable information and resources that veterans, their loved ones, and their friends can use to help protect against scammers.”
According to Carroll, all Americans need to be vigilant in protecting others from scammers and bad actors who would take advantage of Veterans and other Americans. I liked how the Marine has never quit protecting against enemies foreign and domestic.

April 23rd, I was at the Middleborough VFW filming with Richard Fitts Jr. and Arthur O’Callaghan for, “A Letter to M.I.A.s”. Setting up to film I was checking my gimbal when Richard Fitts Jr. asked me to meet this woman at a table. What was interesting was she had brought a lot of framed photos and documents to the filming.
She introduced herself and proceeded to tell me the story about her father, U.S. Navy Veteran Ron Villareale. Ron served during the Vietnam War. After the Vietnam War Ron was compelled to do something to bring attention to the fact that Americans had been left and forgotten as P.O.W.s and M.I.A.s.
Ron decided to ride his horse from across New England to Washington D.C. on his horse, American Thunder. The news clip heading says, “Ghost Riders for Forgotten of Vietnam. He didn’t want them to be forgotten. “No Man Left Behind”, meant something to him as he talked to those who came back from Vietnam.
After riding to Washington D.C., Ron decided more action was needed to keep the issue of his lost and missing brothers alive in people’s minds. He set out from New England and this time rode to California. Along the way, Ron met with politicians and other Veterans who all pitched in to help with the cause.
Watching Dawn show me Ron’s Paul Revere get-up, newspapers signed proclamations and letters, it became clear that a daughter’s love for her father has carried over into everything she does. Dawn cares about our active-duty service members, Veterans, and fellow Americans. Children watch what their parents do and we as parents set the example. We can all learn from what Ron did for us. Many of us are still looking for the 86,000 ghosts who have not been found.

Gina Alderman has come on Oscar Mike Radio as an author. She wrote in Veterans Unchained Anthology and put together Veterans Unchained 2.0.
This time she is talking with me about her Rugged Warrior Healing Coalition Retreat. Gina talked about how the retreat went from an idea to reality. One of the interesting parts of the conversation is how other female Veterans came together to work with her as co-facilitators in their area of expertise. Instead of listening to class lectures, female Veterans will leave the retreat with something that they have made and experienced. It is Gina’s hope that these experiences will allow other female Veterans to connect and grow. The Crystal Blue Lagoon is a perfect setting for these female Veterans to come together and renew themselves emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
On behalf of Gina Alderman, and the co-facilitators who are all Veterans, we would like to extend our sincerest thanks to Lynn who provided Crystal Blue Lagoon Bed and Breakfast as the site for the retreat.

One part of the retreat that Gina Alderman wanted to focus on is the mind and body working together. To do that, Gina connected with Juanita Terry who participated in the “Veterans” Unchained Anthology. The anthology is how Gina and Juanita got connected, and their friendship grew.
Juanita served in the Army working in aviation and then military police. After getting out of the military, Juanita found a sense of peace and purpose in doing martial arts. She began to study under Sensei Ken Wentz. He is a seventh-degree Black Belt, with almost 50 years of Martial Arts experience.
Juanita will be teaching about situational awareness and how to have a security mindset at the retreat.
