I had two great crowds today here in ‘America’s Finest City’…..SAN DIEGO, where I delivered my ‘Comedy With a Four-Star Message’ program to Naval Base Coronado and Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. Thank you to all you sailors, marines and civilians from North Island and Miramar Castle Grey School for your warm welcome and response.

Your great balance of comedy and reality spotlighting alcohol and drug awareness really hit home with our folks. Caring for the safety and welfare of our nation’s greatest, our young men and women of the military, make your special niche in the comedy profession a service above and beyond the call of duty.
Thanks for sharing your insight and experiences. Your testimony will serve as motivation to others to make better choices.

Dear Bernie,
On behalf of the soldiers and Families of Joint Readiness Training Center and Fort Polk we would like to soundly thank you for bringing your message to Fort Polk, Louisiana. your message still resounds within the Soldiers and Family members that were impacted by your words. Our alcohol incidents have gone down since your visit. While I can’t unequivocally say it was all to do to your message, I do know that your message was a major part in the process. As I go about my daily business I still have Soldiers coming up to me and saying “Best training that I ever had during my Army career”. Your wit and humor coupled with your sincerity brought home a serous message that we have been trying to get across to our Soldiers. Your message reached our Soldiers in choosing to become personally responsible for themselves and their Battle Buddies.
Once again, many, many thanks for the message to our Soldiers and Families of Joint Readiness Training Center and Fort Polk.
Sincerely,
Thomas Gilliard,
Alcohol Drug Control Officer
