It is wonderful to be here at Fort Hamilton which is close to the area where I grew up. Historic Fort Hamilton’s mission is to provide the New York metropolitan area with military installation support for the Army National Guard and the United States Army Reserve. I want to thank you for your service and for inviting me here to deliver my “Happy Hour” program. It is a privilege to serve those who serve. Please come by the Post Theater on Monday September 8 at 1000 and 1400 hours. I look forward to sharing some laughs with you. See you there!

Awesome show, filled with laughs and relevant true life experiences. Loved the personal stories. They brought tears to my eyes.
Great show…thanks for supporting us…! BTW…no one else is gonna read your book so you might as well just give it to me…I’ll read it!!
I attended your morning show today (8Sept14) with dread. Within in 5 mins of your show you had my attention. I was laughing, crying, agreeing…This show was worth the ONE HOUR (PLUS) MANDATORY TRAINING. Yeah, it wasn’t an hour, but so worth it. Too bad all our trainings can’t be presented like this. THANK YOU!
PS – Forget the raffle – just forward the book to me 🙂

Very good comedy show at Fort Hamilton military base this morning. Thank you for your time and service. We highly appreciate it.
Bernie,
Great job. Great message. I have had a similar experience in my family.God Bless you and family.
Fantastic show, your message really hit home with me in multiple ways!!!!!! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!
Great performance,countinue the great work!Thanks for the support!
An excellent presentation, especially since you needed no Power Point. I am happy to see that despite losing a sibling and fighting your own demons, you’ve managed to stay focused change your life around. Even short people can reach the stars when they stretch far enough.
Bernie,
Our Soldiers and their families make sacrifices for which we should daily express our sincere gratitude. The bravery that you display every time you tell your story is a different kind entirely, but also to be appreciated. You must be physically exhausted after every show. The combination of your self-effacing humor and heartwrenching pain is extremely effective in making us relate to, laugh with, and feel sympathy for you. The honest self-critique and sensitive human commentary makes you credible and likeable and earns our respect. Incredible job! Don’t stop doing this. Thank you for laying yourself bare to help others comprehend the gravity of their choices, and hopefully see their way more clearly.
Awesome show! Thank you for making us smile on a Monday. Also, thank you for sharing your life experiences with us. You showed us how much we can learn from our experiences and grow from them. …thank you again.
I attended the mandatory “training” all hands this morning at Fort Hamilton. Great show, great inspiration, down to earth real honest. Comedy, laughter really is the cure. Keep up the great work. No need to award me your book, I will purchase a few copies and share with others. Have a great blessed day, continue your friday meetings with your hero.
Sobering truth through comedy, thank you for sharing your story through humor.
From a parent of a child who rides the yellow bus daily I was truly moved by your story. Thank you for sharing your life and humor with us on a subject that is hard to talk about!
You ROCK!
Keep it up! Total Motivator!
Thank you for bringing your story/message.
Thank you for sharing such an amazing story. It touched us all. We laughed and cried. We all fight our own demons, happy to see that you conquered yours. The very best to you and your family.
Keep up the great work
