This is the official VIC 4 VETS Honor Roll, highlighting our Honored Veterans during Veterans Appreciation Month. SUBMITTED BY: Listener Bob________________________________________________________________ Vic and Ken,I've thoroughly enjoyed and deeply appreciate the fact that this has been a weekly event for quite a while, and that it's now a daily occurrence during the month of June is just a phenomenal idea! Thank you both so much for that! It's very possible that I've missed any segment that may have mentioned the unsung heroes of so many U.S. Military Combat Operations, the K-9 Warrior. I'd like to take the opportunity to recognize the innumerable brave, intelligent, and Fearless members of the Armed Forces, which have served in every war since the American Revolution, in one form or another...as well as in other worldwide conflicts throughout human history. The story of the Military Working Dog (MWD) in US Forces officially began on March 13, 1942. That’s when the U.S. Army launched its War Dog Program during World War II, though canines have served honorably for much longer than that...including Sgt Stubby, a stray Boston Terrier Mix who served in WWI - he served in 17 battles, alerting troops to incoming gas attacks before humans could detect them, comforting wounded soldiers, and even capturing a German spy by biting him and refusing to let go until soldiers could capture him. Stories abound of our magnificent K9 companions serving honorably and selflessly in WWI and WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan (including the Belgian Malinois with nerves of steel, Cairo, who was part of SEAL Team 6’s historic mission to eliminate Osama bin Laden...and another Belgian Malinois, Conan - who played a critical role in the Delta Force raid that eliminated the ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, only two of the many, many canines who've served selflessly and honorably, even while mortally wounded in some cases. The stories of these amazing K9 heroes remind us that courage and sacrifice aren’t limited to humans. For over a century, military working dogs have saved lives, detected danger, and provided unwavering loyalty to the soldiers they served alongside. Whether charging into battle, shielding their handlers, or using their sharp instincts to prevent catastrophe, these dogs have played a vital role in American military history." I get lost reading stories of them, there are so many. We as humans cannot possibly thank our deserving Canine Companions enough just for our interactions with them in our daily humdrum lives; their amazing contributions to human society in wartime is the well-earned and well-deserved stuff of legends. Here are some of the other K9 Heroes featured on pawpularcompanions.biz: Sgt. Stubby (WWI) - The Original War DogChips (WWII) - The One-Dog ArmySmoky (WWII) - The Little Terrier That CouldNemo A534 (Vietnam War) - The Dog Who Wouldn’t Back DownCairo (SEAL Team 6, Bin Laden Raid, 2011) - The Modern LegendLucca (USMC, Iraq & Afghanistan) - The LifesaverRags (WWI) - The Messenger DogRex (Iraq War) - The Marine’s Best FriendConan (Delta Force, ISIS Raid, 2019) - The Terrorist HunterGander (WWII, Battle of Hong Kong) - The Ultimate SacrificeHonza (War on Terror, USMC) - The Explosives ExpertLayka (Afghanistan, U.S. Army Rangers) - The Indestructible Warrior K9 Veterans Day is March 13th.

Thank you both for the show in general, and especially for honoring our many veterans who've sacrificed so much in service to America, and God Bless America! ______________________________________________________________ Today's VIC 4 VETS Honor Roll Inductees, Honored Veterans on NewsTalkSTL.With support from our friends at: Alamo Military Collectables, Gemini Wealth Group H.E.R.O.E.S.

This is the official VIC 4 VETS Honor Roll, highlighting our Honored Veterans during Veterans Appreciation Month. SUBMITTED BY: Craig Harms _____________________________________________________________ Maurice Kleyer DATE OF SERVICE: 1969 (Vietnam) Hi Vic and Ken, I would love to submit my ex-father-in-law, Maurice Kleyer, to be featured on the Vic 4 Vets Honor Roll. Maurice is a lifelong resident of Waterloo, Illinois, and he is incredibly proud of his hometown. My love and admiration for this man knows no bounds, and I have truly never met anyone with more grit and determination. A proud Navy Seabee, Maurice grew up working hard on a local dairy farm before answering the call to serve his country, working as an equipment operator in Vietnam in 1969. When he returned home, he dedicated himself to the community he loves, spending 36 years as a lineman with Monroe County Electric right there in Waterloo. Along the way, he raised two wonderful daughters Kimberly and Kristin with his high school sweetheart Jeanne. Maurice is a fighter in every sense of the word. In 2017, he underwent a double lung transplant. His resilience since then has been nothing short of miraculous. In 2024, he was able to experience the Honor Flight—a deeply meaningful tribute for a man who has given so much. Today, you can still find him living to serve and help others in the Waterloo community. When he isn't tinkering in his workshop or maintaining his three-acre yard and massive, nearly one-acre garden, he is showing up for the people he loves. He is a fiercely proud grandfather who never misses his granddaughter Reagan’s sports games or choir performances. Maurice embodies the very best of our local veterans: hard work, an unstoppable spirit, and a lifelong devotion to his family, his country, and his hometown. Thank you both for everything you do to honor guys like him. Respectfully, Craig Harms (CAH pilot) ______________________________________________________________ Today's VIC 4 VETS Honor Roll Inductee, Honored Veteran on NewsTalkSTL.With support from our friends at:Alamo Military Collectables, Gemini Wealth Group H.E.R.O.E.S.

This is the VIC 4 VETS, Weekly Honored Veterans. SUBMITTED BY: Frank S. Wright sent this via AmericanVeteransCenter.org _____________________________________________________________ Frank S. Wright - Corporal, U.S. Marine Corps (Ret.) United States Marine Corps, retired. I’m a hundred years old now — one of the last living Marine Raiders of World War II. In January 1942, just weeks after the attack on Pearl Harbor, I quit high school in Arkansas and walked into the enlistment office. I was sixteen — too young, too skinny, and too light to qualify. The sergeant told me to come back when I was heavier. So I went home, ate all the bananas I could find, and stuffed five pounds’ worth into my pockets before stepping on that scale again. I passed. I lied about my age. And I became a Marine.After boot camp, I volunteered to join the 4th Marine Raiders, America’s first special operations unit. They asked me why I wanted to join. I said, “Because I want to fight.” Our commanding officer was James Roosevelt, the President’s son — a good man, the kind who never gave an order he wouldn’t do himself. We were trained to land first, fight behind enemy lines, and take the beaches nobody else could reach. From Guadalcanal to New Georgia, from the jungles of the Solomons to the black sand of Iwo Jima, we fought to free the Pacific. On Guam, I was stabbed in the stomach during hand-to-hand combat. On Iwo Jima, I was hit by machine-gun fire and knocked unconscious. Both times, my men thought I was gone. Somehow, I wasn’t. When I came to, I saw the flag rising on Mount Suribachi. Every ship in the harbor sounded its horn. I had tears in my eyes then, and I still do when I think about it. That flag meant freedom still lived. There were dark days too... On Guadalcanal, I caught malaria and ended up in a field hospital — but when my unit was preparing to move out, I couldn’t stand being left behind. I slipped out and rejoined them. I’ll now admit, I was always a little rebellious. When the war ended, I became a drill instructor, helping shape the next generation of Marines. I was in my twenties, carrying wounds inside and out. For more than a decade, I didn’t share my stories. I kept them locked away, like many of my brothers did. Over the years, I began to open up and share my story with friends, family, and others who wanted to know about the realities of the battlefield at the Pacific Front. At my age, I don’t take many things for granted. But I still believe in this country — and what it stands for, Thank you for remembering. Thank you for caring. And thank you for keeping faith with those who served.Semper Fidelis, Frank S. Wright Corporal, U.S. Marine Corps (Ret.) Veteran, 4th Marine Raiders | 21st Marines, 3rd Marine DivisionP.S. When I was sixteen, I had to lie about my age to fight for my country. Now, at one hundred, I can tell you the truth as plain as I know it: freedom isn’t free. ________________________________________________________________ This Week’s VIC 4 VETS, Honored Veteran on NewsTalkSTL.With support from our friends at:Alamo Military Collectables, Gemini Wealth Group H.E.R.O.E.S.

This is the VIC 4 VETS, Weekly Honored Veterans. SUBMITTED BY: Christopher Slater _____________________________________________________________ Good morning Ken, Thank you to you and Vic for honoring our military members. My veteran is Specialist (Corporal) David Bixler, Specialist Bixler was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 320th Field Artillery, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division. On September 30, 2010, Specialist Bixler was on patrol in heavily mined farmland in the Arghandab(AR-CON DOB) River Valley in Afghanistan. He was leading a team of three Afghan National Army Soldiers, when his unit was ambushed and heavy gunfire ensued. When Bixler saw that one of the Afghan soldiers had veered toward uncleared ground, he ran after him and pushed him to safety. While doing so, Bixler stepped on an improvised explosive device. He suffered the loss of both legs, damage to his spinal cord, traumatic brain injury, and other serious injuries. For his heroic action, Bixler was awarded the Silver Star, as well as a Purple Heart for his wounds. Bixler was the 2011 USO Soldier of the Year.

This is the VIC 4 VETS, Weekly Honored Veterans. SUBMITTED BY: Tim Hixson_____________________________________________________________ Hi Vic and Ken, Thank you for doing this. This is a short story about my great grandfather, Matthew Hixson, who fought in the American Revolution. God bless. Sincerely,Tim HixsonName/Rank: Matthew Hixson, Private & Colonel, enlisted at Ringo’s Tavern, New Market, NJ Colony summer of 1775Branch/Battalion: New Jersey Colonial Militia, later Continental Army, during the American RevolutionDate of Service: Served: summer 1775 until fall of 1778Awards/Medals: None known.Matthew Hixson was my great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather. He was born in 1757 in the town of New Market, Colony of New Jersey. He was one of three brothers who served during the American Revolution. During his 3 years of service he was stationed in and around various townships around New Jersey and New York primarily, serving as a private first in the NJ Militia and later the Continental Army. However, during his last posting in 1778 he held the rank of Colonel for 10 days before his final discharge, no idea why! He married my great (times 8!) grandmother Catherine Hogg in 1779 and eventually moved to Ohio and bought a farm north east of Cincinnati. While we don’t know what if any combat he might have seen as he apparently never talked about it during his life, we know from his own words how in 1832 he finally received notification of the promised veterans pension he, and his fellow soldiers were originally promised by the Continental Congress during the War and later the US government. He was 75 years at the time, and he still had to wait another year for it to arrive. In 1833 $100 from the US government was sent to a solicitor (lawyer) in his son’s name for 2 and a half years pension. When Matthew died in 1838 and his debts were paid and remaining estate split among his children, it was realized that he never actually saw a cent of any of that pension the few years he received it. So, for those veterans alive today still dealing with all the troubles in the VA, take heart…the guys who fought in our first war as a nation had to go through similar crap in their day. Vic and Ken, love your show. Thanks to my grandfather, I’ve discovered I’ve got a little bit of New Jersey in me too! God bless!________________________________________________________________ This Week’s VIC 4 VETS, Honored Veteran on NewsTalkSTL.With support from our friends at:Alamo Military Collectables, Gemini Wealth Group H.E.R.O.E.S.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOFor John Moore, growing up in a funeral home wasn't unusual—it was everyday life.

In 2019, Washington became the first state in the country to legalize human composting as an alternative to burial and cremation. That same year, entrepreneur Micah Truman founded Return Home, a funeral home that built the world’s first large-scale human composting facility in Auburn, Washington. A new documentary tells the story of how Truman, who set out to disrupt the funeral industry for profit, discovered meaning in this new vision for death care.

In this episode, I sit down with Jeremy Allen, a funeral director and grief educator, for an honest conversation about grief, loss, and how we show up for one another. Jeremy shares a grounded perspective on supporting people through difficult moments, especially in farming communities where emotions are often left unspoken.  Together, we explore the difference between being prepared and being ready, and why grief isn't always about death. We discuss what to say (and what not to say), and how simply being present can make a lasting impact. If you've ever felt unsure how to support someone through loss — or how to face it yourself — this episode is for you.

He bet on cases most lawyers avoid—funeral home negligence, negligent security—and turned them into national-level authority, referrals, and high-value outcomes. This episode breaks down what it looks like to go all in on a niche, take on real risk, and build a practice where the best cases start coming to you. If you're ready to stop being a jack of all trades and start dominating your market through elite, data-driven SEO, head over to Rankings.io to see how we help elite personal injury firms scale. On this episode, you'll learn: Why Chad took a case four firms passed on, and put nearly six figures into it before seeing a return. How focusing on funeral home and security cases turned him into a go-to resource for other lawyers. How he ranks and signs niche cases without relying on billboards or traditional ads.

When Mai Nguyen lost her daughter just days after she was born, writing about a similar character in a novel brought her comfort. Her new book, Cleo Dang Would Rather Be Dead, is a heartbreaking but humorous novel about a grieving mother who starts working at a funeral home. Cleo Dang's world is shattered when she loses her newborn due to complications during labour. Drowning in grief and the discomfort of friends and family, she takes a job at a funeral home and comes to learn intimately about her own loss and what grief means for others. It's a deeply personal story based on Mai's own experiences, and despite the subject, she tells the story with levity and hope. This week, Mai tells Mattea Roach about her own grief journey, balancing sorrow and laughter and why she was wrong about funeral home employees.Liked this conversation?

It's been a long while since Diamond and Leah of @oppenheimerranchproject last joined us, and tonight I would like to get not only a general Space Weather News update, but also their thoughts on ongoing missions to the moon, and the motives for all of the other paradigm-shifting stories that are being prepared for us on a daily basis. In the second half we're going to pop open a really strange can of worms concerning some of the more outrageous funeral home scams that have been reported in recent years alone: recycled coffins, fake ashes, unauthorized mass graves, and fraud beyond measure.
