My wife, Maria, and I are planning a possible trip in early fall of this year to see the 18 states of this great nation that I have yet to visit or experience. If we do this trip, we are thinking of having several meetups along the way. If you are interested in joining us for a meetup/meet and greet, please put the state and major city closest to you in the comment section below, regardless of what state you are in. (For example, if you are in Utah or California, still let us know where you are as we plan on doing meetups even in places we've been before and/or currently reside.) We will know sometime late July if we are going to do this trip and are aiming for sometime in early September.
This is the speech by Michael Knowles, who preceded Glenn Beck at the tribute. Note: the last few minutes of this recording are missing.
This was the highlight of the event. Honestly, I'm not a Glenn Beck fan, per se — he's just not my cup of tea, though I did enjoy his show years ago on Fox and supported The Blaze in its first several years. But in this speech, Glenn talked about the things Charlie stood for: Christianity, attending church, respecting and loving the people you disagree with, and marriage and having LOTS of babies. All of those are near and dear to my heart too, so I really liked this speech.
(Michael Knowles spoke before Glenn — I'll put up his speech tomorrow.)
