In this episode of Danger Close, Jack is honored to sit down with a man who has not only touched lives through the screen but has been a tireless advocate for our nation's veterans and their families - Gary Sinise. Known to many for his portrayal of Lt. Dan in the film Forest Gump, Gary's connection to the veteran community is far more than a role. For over 40 years, he has stood side by side with those who have served, working with local Vietnam veterans, supporting the Disabled American Veterans organization, and founding the Gary Sinise Foundation to serve our country's defenders, first responders, Gold Star families, and those in need. His dedication only intensified after 9/11, becoming a lifelong crusade to give back to those who sacrifice so much for the nation.Today, Gary shares the most personal of stories – the tragic loss of his son Mac, who passed away in early 2024 from Chordoma, a rare form of bone cancer. Gary talks about Mac's strength, his remarkable creativity, and the legacy he left behind through his music. After Mac's passing, Gary discovered a treasure trove of his son's compositions - some songs known to the world, like those from the Gary Sinise Foundation documentary Always Do A Little More, and others Mac had tucked away, as of yet unheard. Out of this discovery, Gary has started a new chapter for Mac's music: Resurrection & Revival: Part Two.Join Gary and Jack as they dive deep into the heart of a father's loss, the power of legacy, and the importance of serving and sacrificing for others. This is a conversation about resilience, honor, and how love can drive us to create lasting impact.To learn more about the Gary Sinise Foundation, visit garysinisefoundation.orgTo watch or listen to the music of Mac Sinise, visit Mac's YouTube channel HEREPurchase RESURRECTION & REVIVAL Parts One and Two HERE.

Councilwoman Calls for Cobb Court Clerk to Resign; Redistricting in Cobb Two 18-Year-Olds Indicted for Street Race That Killed 15-Year-Old Takeaways From Polling on the Cobb Transit Tax All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: CU of GA  STORY 1: AROUND TOWN: Councilwoman Calls for Cobb Court Clerk to Resign; Redistricting in Cobb Attorneys in Cobb County express frustration over a nearly three-month backlog in filing online court records, a delay considered unprecedented for the usually efficient court system. Cobb Superior Court Judge Rob Leonard has urged urgent filings to be sent directly to his office due to the backlog, prompting Marietta City Councilwoman Cheryl Richardson, also an attorney, to call for Superior Court Clerk Connie Taylor's resignation. The delay has been exacerbated by a redistricting dispute and the creation of new maps, with Democrats alleging partisan gerrymandering by Republicans. Some Democratic incumbents, like Rep. Teri Anulewicz, face tough challenges in the new maps, drawing criticism for potential political motivations. Anulewicz is likely to run for re-election in District 42, potentially facing primary opposition from Smyrna resident Gabriel Sanchez, who announced his candidacy with a left-wing platform endorsed by the Atlanta chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America. STORY 2: Two 18-Year-Olds Indicted for Street Race That Killed 15-Year-Old Two 18-year-olds, Garrett Tyler Betts and Caleb Evan Hasty, were indicted by a Cobb grand jury for their alleged involvement in an August street race that resulted in the death of a 15-year-old. The charges include first-degree vehicular homicide, reckless driving, street racing, and speeding. The incident occurred on the East-West Connector when Hasty, driving a Pontiac G8 at 100 mph, and Betts in a Mustang were involved in a race. Betts lost control, collided with a tree, and the 15-year-old passenger was ejected and pronounced dead at the scene. Both accused individuals were released on $82,720 bond last month. STORY 3: Takeaways From Polling on the Cobb Transit Tax A poll commissioned by a group of Cobb business leaders found that initially, 63% of voters supported a 30-year program to expand transit and build a new rapid bus system in Cobb County. However, as voters learned more about the transit tax proposal, support dropped to 47%, and undecideds increased from 9% to 25%. Opposition remained at 28%. The poll, conducted by LINK Public Affairs and Co/efficient, included 1,320 likely general election voters. It revealed variations in support across demographics, with stronger support among younger and older voters, Black voters, women, and less-educated voters. The proposed Mobility Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (M-SPLOST) would fund transit programs over 10 or 30 years. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

A parade followed, with dancing children, a gingerbread man reacting to horn blasts, and characters like Mr. Grinch and Whoville residents. Despite a one-week postponement due to weather, the festive spirit prevailed. Councilman Marlin Lamar sported a vibrant Christmas suit, and Darrell Weaver, the city's director of community affairs, dressed as Willy Wonka. The event concluded with the lighting of the Christmas tree. Families, like the Bowmans of Austell, expressed gratitude for the holiday season, their children, and the gifts they would share. STORY 5: 'It is a loss': Roswell Street Baptist Church Chapel Razed Roswell Street Baptist Church in Marietta has demolished its chapel and west wing, initiating a new era for the downsized congregation. The decision to create green space for sports and community activities followed a year of prayer, with the congregation opting to raze two additional buildings—the pregnancy center and counseling center. The $500,000 demolition project is part of a $1.7 million budget for renovations. The church aims to attract new members, especially young families, by offering sports programs and a family-oriented space. While the physical change signifies the end of an 80-year era, it marks a fresh beginning for the church.

Jon Ossoff visited Cobb County to discuss expanding access to breast cancer screenings for female veterans. The bipartisan amendment, introduced by Ossoff, Sen. Mike Braun, and Sen. Thom Tillis, added $10 million in funding for mobile mammogram screenings to the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs appropriation bill. Female veterans are 20 to 40% more likely to develop breast cancer than the general female population, according to Disabled American Veterans. Ossoff emphasized the importance of early detection and the need to prioritize screenings for female veterans, particularly those in rural areas. The bill awaits approval in the House of Representatives. STORY 7: Fullers Rec Center Becomes a Christmas Wonderland The Fullers Recreation Center in Marietta hosted the Christmas Wonderland event, attracting around 100 children who enjoyed various Christmas activities such as ornament decorating and cookie making. The event also featured performances from the Blue Diamond Step Team and the TLC Dance team. Tiffani Ephrom, the facilities manager, and Sobany King, the recreation coordinator, organized the event over two months to bring the community together and highlight the Fullers Recreation Center. Activities included watching "The Polar Express" in the theater, and the event aimed to spread Christmas spirit in the community. Cobb County Parks continues to organize various Christmas events throughout the year. Break: Henssler :60  Signoff-   Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Marietta Daily Journal podcast.

Two years after graduation from West Point, he volunteered for a tour in Vietnam where he served as a Military Intelligence officer assigned to the Fifth Special Forces Group.  Allen sustained injuries in an early-morning mortar attack at the Dak To Special Forces camp on June 17, 1967, that necessitated the amputation of both legs below his knees.  His military service and sacrifice were recognized with receipt of a Silver Star for Gallantry in Action, the Purple Heart, and the Combat Infantryman's Badge.

January/February is military organization month on Veterans Corner Radio. This is a chance to hear from the leaders of some of our veterans' organizations.
