We started out this day a little earlier so that we could make it to WJOB Radio AM 1230. They have a program run by veterans called “Veterans Views”, presented by the American Legion Hammond Victory Post # 168. Dan Winters and I were really excited to be on one of the only veteran’s radio shows in the country. The interview went very well and even though we had a “climate change doubter” phone in, we came out on top. It is hard to dispute that climate change is real when the Pentagon and the Department of Defense are taking it seriously and they aren’t known for being tree huggers. We also had the film crew from “Priceless” with us during the interview. You always look so much more important when you have a film crew following you.
Next we moved on to the Gary Indiana Public Library where we hosted a round table discussion with Dan Winter, Matt Victoriano, Larry Delashmit, and myself as the veteran speakers. There were about 15 people in the audience. It was a very good discussion and we got a lot of really engaging questions from the audience. Everyone was very happy that we were out spreading this really important message. I always feel good about an event when the audience is so engaged and asking questions. We also had two newspapers reporting the story. This trip to Gary, Indiana was very productive!
