Barksdale AFB Happy Hour rolls into Louisiana!

As we kick off the new year, I was very happy to get back on stage and fly into Shreveport, LA and deliver the ‘HAPPY HOUR’ Comedy ‘With a Message’ tour! Hopefully everyone had a great holiday and returned safely to work. Thank you Airmen for your service to our country. Hope you enjoyed the show and had a few laughs, while taking away a new perspective on risk-reduction initiatives!

Great show today! Second time training has been mixed with comedy. Second time I have legitimately enjoyed and gotten something out of our training. First time it has actually been “Mandatory Fun!!”

Thanks!
Al January 4, 2013 at 6:17 pm

Marvelous presentation, very powerful message in a spot on delivery! Certainly a wonderful service to the men and women of our nation’s military. I’m confidant you make many people think about their actions and reactions to life’s challenges. Your message is making a real difference. Thanks for signing the book I picked up, it will be a great conversation starter with my son starting his Air Force career. I certainly can’t do justice to your comedy, but I can pass on the message. Hope he and his comrades get to hear your message one day soon. Please keep up your inspirational labor of compassion.

Best safety briefing
BK January 4, 2013 at 8:42 pm

Outstanding show! I was wondering though…how is it possible to share the pages of a book with Ron White and remain sober?

Tell Sean we said hello!
