Kris's dedication to and passion for God, Family and Country is unquestionable.  Kris's background is very diverse and begins with degrees in Economics, Finance and Accounting. From a stock broker, to deliver skipper, to owning multiple small business, to being an ordained minister and member of the National Guild of Hypnotherapists, Kris has seen many paradigm shifts in life. Most recently, Kris and his wife hosted a radio program that focused on the vital decision to live in the moment, 5 minutes at a time, no matter where you are in life. He is currently working on publishing a book to inspire, motivate and help others survive and thrive.  Kris's intense passion for Gold Star Families, Veterans and Active Duty Military drives many of his current missions. Most recently, he was honored to deliver the invocation at the Salute To Our Armed Services Ball at the Inauguration of President Trump. He values every chance received to speak to others about bridging the divide between a Nation at peace and a military at war. Our nation needs to be grounded in the knowledge and understanding that freedom truly is not free! Website: https://www.goldstarfathersofflorida.org  & https://www.fvinc.org

At the End of the Row When I’m asked for directions,Where the visitor might go,I say, “Through the main gate,Past the brick building, very slow.”On the right, just a bit,A wood stair you will see,It leads to the lake,And a bench by a tree. Directly across, to the left side of the way,Park your car, and get out,By the green and white sea.The green is the grass, always mowed and trimmed,And the white are the markers,Too many, and him.His spot is just there,A few steps more,He’s with the fallen heroes,At the end of the row.. Kris Hager
