Col. Joe Adams US Hospital Threat Assessment – Updated • Strategic Insight. Tactical Advantage. • US Hospital Threat Assessment – Updated By Reporting Desk 15 May 25 Briefing Papers, Terrorism, Threat Assessments, United States Summary & Purpose The threat assessment presented below is to advise and assist primary care centers, trauma centers and first responders in preparing for an upcoming terrorist attack to be carried out by the Islamic State (ISIS) and the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP), but orchestrated by al Qaeda, as a prelude to a secondary, much larger attack, by al Qaeda. This assessment is an updated version of a previously issued threat assessment on the same topic on 11 April, 2025. This assessment has been reviewed and discussed by numerous individuals, who are part of our intelligence advisory network, including, but not limited to, Orange Diamond Consulting Group, Trans-Atlantic Intelligence Consortium, Sarah Adams, Wesley Harden and others. Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF) Hospitals and trauma centers, specifically Tier 1, are being targeted for attack by the Islamic State (ISIS) and the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP). The attack is being orchestrated by al Qaeda, Hamza bin Laden, and Sayf al-Adel, supported by Sirajuddin Haqqani, The Haqqani Network and the Afghan Taliban from terror cells and safe houses in Afghanistan. The targeting is focused on mid-tier cities around the United States and Canada. The attacks will be multi-city and simultaneously carried out. Intelligence Credibility Credible – Highly Credible UPDATE: We, in conjunction with Survival Dispatch, have been part of a multi-part podcast series that walks through every step of the attack and how to prepare. The series is linked below the document. The series is continuing and airs every night at 7 pm US Eastern Standard Time. We post the link every afternoon US time on our X handle.

Steve Shaw In-StudioCottonwood Gunners for Vic4Vets InitiativeFundraiser for "Got Your Six Support Dogs"American Roots band Cottonwood Gunners in partnership with Affton MO venue 9 Mile Garden, are presenting their third annual veteran's benefit on Saturday, November 15 from noon to 4:00 pm. A fun day - in the wake of the Veteran's Day holiday - of music, drink specials, dogs, 50/50 raffles and more! 100% of all money raised will go to Got Your Six Support Dogs. GOT YOUR SIX SERVICE DOGS TESTIMONIAL - PARKER NAHRGANG As a part of Cottonwood Gunners veteran celebration, we honor our friend Parker Nahrgang and his wonderful support dog Eddie. A corporal in the US Marine Corps, Parker was deployed twice to Afghanistan – in 2012 and again in 2013. He was a part of the MWSS-273 (Marine Wing Support Squadron) where he spent the majority of his time in the Forward Operating Base (FOB) Edinburgh, Afghanistan. We have gotten to know Parker well and are not only amazed by his bravery, but also his willingness to say "yes" to the service of our country along with his humbleness. Eddie was a graduate of Got Your Six PTSD Support Dogs and never fails to impress us as well – he is indeed on-watch at all times! It's this first-hand knowledge of the profound difference that GY6 makes in veterans' lives that inspired us for this year's fund raise Parker's first deployment occurred less than three months after his daughter was born. Two years later during his second deployment, his son was born – but at least he was able to video call for the birth. During Parker's two Afghanistan deployments, he was faced with countless traumatic events that were nothing short of soul-crushing. Words can seldom describe what leaving a safe and loving home for a combat zone is truly like. It's an internal struggle that many veterans have faced overseas. In Parker's words, "Quite honestly, I don’t believe there are any words in existence that could adequately describe the experiences we face overseas." But the nature of war does not allow for the time to process or grieve. This Marine was able to make it out on the other side okay, and he says, "I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt Got Your Six PTSD Support Dogs gave me my life back." After exiting the Marine Corps, the trauma Parker had been bottling up for years was very evident. He became an emotionless shell of a man. Logically, he knew that he "loved" his family, but all the emotions that he "should" have felt didn't exist. Heart-brokenly and simply put, he didn’t care about his son, his daughter, or his wife. The emotional connection to them was nonexistent - they seemed like complete strangers to him. This is the horrible reality to living with PTSD. Add to that the PTSD symptoms of depression, anxiety, anger, nightmares and so much more including the inability to sleep with about 1-3 hours total a night and rarely longer than 30-minute stints. In Parker's words, "Countless veterans have experienced the same turmoil and suffering I have. Many of which still haven’t received the help they need. Unfortunately, the VA leaves many of us behind... If it were not for the overwhelming generosity of GY6 and those who support their efforts, my life and many others like mine, would be completely different. I like to imagine our souls are like big puzzles, and PTSD destroys that puzzle. But every person at GY6 selflessly takes their own pieces… pieces of their own heart and soul… and gives them to these dogs, it's with those pieces I was finally able to start putting mine back together. I cannot say it enough... Got Your six changed my life, the lives of many others before me, and continue to change the lives of those who came after me. I will never be able to repay GY6 for what they did for me. My hope is to inspire generosity in others so that GY6 can continue their mission, saving lives for many years to come." Speaking on from when after he came home from war and stuck in a terrible cycle of PTSD symptoms of depression, anxiety, anger, nightmares, and sleeplessness, "After a while, and thanks to a persistent wife, I started seeking mental health help. But nothing ever fully worked for me. Some medications would take the edge off my symptoms, but the struggles were still there controlling every aspect of my life. At one point I was on 9 medications that barely scratched the surface. One of the hardest things I had to hear was my doctor saying "Parker, I am sorry... I honestly do not know what to do". I was devastated... I had been holding onto hope that the suffering was temporary. But after years of holding on to that hope, trying countless GOT YOUR SIX SERVICE DOGS TESTIMONIAL - PARKER NAHRGANG medications, countless therapy sessions, countless doctors, and THEN to hear your doctor say we're out of options… Then, by what I can only describe as "an act of God" my wife encountered Got Your Six PTSD Support Dogs. During this encounter they immediately welcomed her with open arms, encouraging her, and began pursuing to helping me. GY6 informed me that it would likely be 1-2 years before they would have a dog ready for me. It takes time to train these dogs, and I just needed to breath, and wait. But after about 5 or 6 months, once again, by what I can only call a direct act of God, GY6 had more dogs pass their training than expected. That’s when I received a call from Nicole Lanahan (founder of GY6), and she asked me if I was ready. I attended their Service Animal training and therapy retreat for 10 days, which was the start of my life changing. The people I met and built relationships with was unbelievable, these connections were something I hadn't felt in years. I finally had a community of other veterans that were in the exact same boat as me, it was a place of belonging. We were not alone anymore, GY6 was holding us together, supporting us, and giving us a priceless gift. I want to help you understand what these dogs like Eddie do…and what he did that first night. At some point in the night during a nightmare he had crawled on me, nudging me, comforting me, he was sensing every time there was a nightmare about to happen and he would wake me "just enough" to not fully wake me, but stop the nightmare from happening, he stood watch, remaining vigilant throughout the night protecting me. Cottonwood Gunners Uniquely Midwestern, American Grit Cottonwood Gunners is a uniquely midwestern American roots ensemble from Saint Louis, Missouri whose spirited and clever compositions are inspired by a remarkable passion for their country and their state and whose members met in the blues bars of Saint Louis’ historic Soulard district. Portraying a fiery brand of songwriting that is reminiscent and influenced by the likes of Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan and Townes Van Zandt, the Cottonwood Gunner unique brand fuses Americana, Outlaw Country, and Electric Folk. Their rare songwriting craftsmanship is highlighted by the brilliant fiddle and mandolin playing of Brian Elder (Trans-Siberian Orchestra) and multi-instrumentalist Mark Hrabovsky (Mike Zito Band, Wack-a-doo, Suave Octopus) blended with the catchy melody and rhythms of cousins Steve Fowler’s bass (Still Free) and Steve Shaw’s guitar (Freeze the Hopper). The Cottonwood Gunner musicality and lyrical content focus on family and life of the Midwest and, combined with smart versions of classic American covers contributes to unforgettable live shows of unquestionable excitement, sentiment, and fun. Their set will make you want to dance, laugh, cry, salute Old Glory and pray to God! All four members have been hailed in their own right as published songwriters to rave reviews across the globe with a combined fourteen full length recordings and countless tours through over 100 cities and towns in the Midwest and throughout the world as part of USO tours. Driven by the patriotic lineage of veterans in their families and love of country, family and the Great Midwest, don’t miss the opportunity to experience Cottonwood Gunners!

He will be inducted in the Missouri Veterans Hall of Fame on Friday, October 24th. The ceremony will take place in the rotunda of the State Capitol in Jefferson City. Just two months into his Army service in Vietnam, Jim was on patrol when he stepped on a land mine. He ended up losing both of his legs below the knee. April 25th, 1969 is the day that changed his life and in turn, it has changed the lives of hundreds, if not thousands of other veterans with whom he came in contact. Every April 25th, Jim celebrates his “Alive Day” with family and friends to note this turning point in his life. The “Milkshake Man” was born in the early 1990s. He has had an impact on many veterans who have suffered similar injuries. During visits to Walter Reed Hospital, Jim started bringing them McDonalds milkshakes to make them feel more at home and give them a feeling of comfort. Jim worked at the VA from 1978 to 2007 and then moved to the Wounded Warrior Project as the Director of Peer Mentoring from 2007 to 2016. Jim was inducted into the Affton (MO) High School Hall of Fame in 2009.

This is the VIC 4 VETS, Weekly Honored Veteran. SUBMITTED BY: Marcus Hart WINFRED H. HART JR., WWII VETERAN Vic & KenToday I would like to honor my Grandpa WINFRED H. HART JR., WWII VETERAN Proudly Served Our Country Winfred H. Hart Jr. was born in Nace, Virginia (near Troutville) on May 1st, 1921. He enlisted in January of 1942 at the age of 21 and attended basic training in Texas. Mr. Hart trained to be a pilot but later became a radio operator for the bomber crew of a B-24 Liberator which was part of the 8th Air Force, 466th Bomb Group, 785th Squadron, Crew number 545. During most of World War II, the 466th was stationed in Attlebridge, England; a point from where it could conduct bombing missions over most of Nazi occupied Europe. Hart’s first mission was oil refinery targets in one of Germany’s largest port cities of Hamburg. Other missions included an airfield in Marne, France; a Junkers aircraft engine factory in Magdeburg, Germany; and railroad targets throughout Germany which were supplying the German Army. Mr. Hart’s last mission on January 21st, 1945 was a railroad marshalling yard (freight staging yard) in Helbronn, Germany. Hart says they were very fortunate none of the crew was ever hurt. He remembers two close calls. While on his first mission over Hamburg, Germany, they lost the #3 engine from flak fire damage. Two P-51 Mustang fighters escorted them back to England, protecting them from enemy fighter aircraft. The other was a near midair collision with an allied aircraft over London while doing training exercises. He credits their pilot, John Gerrity, who was a tough, tall Irishman from Texas who knew how to handle the hard to fly B-24 aircraft. After completing 27 missions, Mr. Hart was discharged in the spring of 1945. He was welcomed home by his family, which included his grandfather who rented a farm from Magnus Brugh, near the original Brugh’s Mill in Troutville. His Father was a machinist for Norfolk & Western Railroad and his mother was a Crawford from Craig County. After returning home from the war, Mr. Hart worked to complete the high school credits required to attend VPI (VA Tech) where he would study Electrical Engineering. While attending school, he worked a short time for Eagle Rock Lime Company. Mr. Hart and his wife, Lois, both worked for Appalachian Power until retiring in 1982. Following retirement, they both enjoyed traveling which included visits to New Zealand, the Caribbean, Russia, and many parts of Europe.

This is the VIC 4 VETS, Weekly Honored Veteran. SUBMITTED BY: Neal Westhoff Charles H. Gnade, Pronounced-(Ga nade ee) Vic and Ken, There’s a man in our parish, his name is Charlie Gnade. He turned 101 yesterday, August 26. He fought in World War II under General Patton. He came into the area where the battle of the bulge was when that battle was over. He’s still pretty sharp. Military Service: He served in the United States Army with the 90th Infantry Division during World War II. Award Recognition: He is reported to have received the Silver Star, one of the U.S. military’s highest decorations for gallantry under fire, awarded under General Orders No. 571 (1945). The Silver Star is awarded for “gallantry in action against an enemy of the United States,” marking Charles H. Gnade as someone who likely exhibited extraordinary bravery during combat. Being tied to the 90th Infantry Division connects him to some of the most intense fighting in the European Theater—operations in Normandy, France, and into the heart of Germany.At the age of 19, Charles was drafted into the Army and served 22 months un General George S. Patton. He was a private, first class in the 90th division of the 359th Texas/Oklahoma infantry of the Battle of The Bulge during WWII. He was awarded the Silver Star for single handed capture of prisoners. Grateful for the opportunity to serve his country, he says the world is much different now than when he enlisted. I was proud to serve my country during WWII but I did not go to war to see my country in such divide and turmoil as it is today. It makes me very sad. I didn’t go to war to fight for this he said. For the past 77 years, Gnade has been a member of American Legion in Old Monroe as well as a member of the VFW. In 2022, he was awarded the Unsung Hero Award from the Old Monroe American Legion. Among his top achievements in life, he says being a farmer and making his first communion as well as his married life count for some of his proudest life accomplishments. Charlie has been widowed two times, Marita Hoelting Gnade and second wife Dorothy (Dot) McGee Gnade. ________________________________________________________________ This Week’s VIC 4 VETS, Honored Veteran on NewsTalkSTL.With support from our friends at:Alamo Military Collectables, H.E.R.O.E.S.

This is the VIC 4 VETS, Weekly Honored Veteran. SUBMITTED BY: Robert Feeney John Minton and John Michael Minton Vic and Ken, Thank you for telling the story of my great-great-grandfather's story. My wife also has two direct ancestors on her father’s side who fought in the Civil War. Here are the stories of John Minton, her great-great-great-great grandfather and John Micheal Minton, her great-great-great grandfather. John Minton served in five wars spanning fifty years. When John Minton was fifteen, he saw the militia of Liberty County formed to defend Georgia's coast against the British landings in the war of 1812. Twenty-year-old John Minton received the sword and epaulettes of a major in the United States Army in 1817 from the hands of General Andrew Jackson. He had fought gallantly in quelling marauding Creek Indians on the Georgia Frontier with General Jackson and the famous Indian fighter, David Crockett. He was, in 1835, the only man in Liberty County, Georgia to volunteer aid to Texas in their struggle with Mexico. Major Minton brought his wife and children to Roswell, Georgia in 1849, intending to spend the remainder of his years farming. At the onset of the War Between the States, John Minton at the age of 62 enlisted as a private in the Confederate Army, (Georgia 8th, Company E) as did three of his sons. During the First Battle of Manassas, Virginia in July 1861, he was wounded and discharged four months later by disability. He returned home to Roswell and died in 1871. John Micheal Minton was one of three sons who joined the 21st Georgia Cavalry Battalion serving in the Companies B and D. His brothers James Dunwoody and Axson H served in the same unit and companies.
