The National Defense

The National Defense hopes you and yours enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend and have a great show for you this week!  First, Randy and Jerry welcome Patrick Leitch from Ford Motor Company, their Manager of Primary Brands and Truck Activation, to talk about a really great partnership with the Dallas Cowboys, the Detroit Lions, the USO, and The Mission Continues.  Ford surprised military families with special Thanksgiving wishes from their favorite players and more! Lanette Kovachi, the Global Dietician from Subway, joins the show to discuss making good food choices (something we all likely have top of mind after Thursday) with Randy and Jerry.  Finally Billy Brimblecom from Steps of Faith, a group that provides prosthetic limbs to those in need wraps up the show by talking about a recent benefit concert, Thundergong!, held in K.C. with the help of his friend, actor Jason Sudeikis and many others.  Happy Thanksgiving from The National Defense!

The National Defense welcomes Joe Wimberley, Director of Projects for Team Depot and the Home Depot Foundation to discuss their 7th Annual "Celebration of Service" and the #CHOOSETOSERVE initiative to support veterans across the country in need of a hand.  Then, Randy and Jerry welcome U.S. Army Chaplain Justin Roberts to the show to discuss his new documentary No Greater Love, the first theatrical documentary produced by active duty combat soldiers in the field.  Wherever you listen, we hope you have a special Veterans Day weekend.
