JT Hollis - Song Writer, Musician, American Hero

Tom Hollis known as "JT" is a U.S. Army Veteran who served in Desert Shield/ Desert Storm, and the Liberation of Kuwait from 1987 - 1994.  JT always had the passion for music and now he’s pursuing his dream in sharing his music with others. He draws inspiration for his music from his personal experiences, and that’s why so many can relate to his songs.


His song, "Keep Pushing On" is a song that was inspired by the loss of his 6 year old Nephew. He's hoping the song will help others to move on with their lives, as it has for him.


His song, "Me and You, and the Red, White and Blue" was written from his personal perspective from his time in the military.  That song won him the spot to perform live at the "Michigan Vet Fest".  It had also been on the "Independent Music Chart" for 12 weeks, eleven of those weeks it hit the "Top 10" on the charts and the "Top 5" four times !!!  And now,… His song, "Livin' The Dream" has made it's way onto the "Independent Music Network Charts" ... Hitting number 12 at it’s debut !!!


JT  is on his way,.. and I can honestly say,.. He so so deserves it,.. not just because he’s an American Hero,.. But because he is such a terrific, kind hearted and funny guy. (Plus he makes a really great friend)


Here’s some of JT’s songs,..




 
When JT isn't makig music he volunteers his time as a "DJ" over on "Hooah Radio" http://www.hooahradio.com -  An online Military Radio Station that is the most well known and most loves station because of the work they do, bridging the gap between the deployed and thier loved ones.  You can also find JT in the "Hooah Radio online chat room / lounge"  It's not only a great oppertunity to get to know him, but a great place to show your support for our "Troops and Veterans", and if you have a friend / loved one deployed, this is definately the place for you !!! 

Shout-Out from Bob Calvert "Talking With Heroe's"

It was brought to my attention today that Bob Calvert from Talking With Heroes released 6 new video's !!! And I got to say, it's really super nice to hear about the good stuff, especially when the main news media only wants to report on the bad times.

Another reason why I like Bob's shows are becuase even though he is hosting, he always makes his main focus on our warrior's and gives them the platform to say what's on thier minds and gives them the ability to share thier lives with us. Much can be learned and I encourage you to pass on these videos to as many people as you can !!!

Very Kewl Video - Celebrating 100 Years of Air Power

I just wanted to share these videos with everbody,... They were just downloaded a couple of days ago and they are Amazing !!! So much history regaurding the United States Air Force and also has great footage and recordings.

As we ALL know we have the Best of the Best when it comes to our Military, however one man by the name of Benjamin "Benny" D. Foulois led the way to the devlopment of the U.S. Air Force. U.S. Army General Foulois was the first person who learned to fly the first military palnes that were purchased from the Wright brothers, making his first solo flight on March 2, 1910. He became the first military pilot and performed numerous military aviation "firsts". He was also the son of a French Veteran who served in the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871). These videos will cover the couragous acts performed by General Foulois, along with a few others that help mold what the U.S. Air Force is today including Neil Armstrong.

The tomb of the Unknown - Interesting Fact's that Everyone should know

This was sent to me in my e-mail inbox and I just wanted to share it with all of you,... The following is a reprint from that e-mail and the Author is unknown,....
On Jeopardy the other night, the final question was "How many steps does the guard take during his walk across the tomb of the unknowns". -- All 3 missed it --


1. How many steps does the guard take during his walk across the tomb of the Unknowns and why ?

21 steps: It alludes to the twenty-one gun salute which is the highest honor given any military or foreign dignitary.
2. How long does he hesitate after his about face to begin his return walk and why ?

21 seconds for the same reason as answer number 1.


3. Why are his gloves wet ?
