I’ve been to over 20 Suicide preventions and non has touched me the way this one did. Thank you for sharing your story.
I walked into the theatre this morning with a heavy heart. The soldier that passed away ovr the weekend was someone I knew personally that I had deployed with. When I saw that they were introducing you to do stand-up I felt a little taken aback to be honest. I didn’t feel like comedy would be appropriate. You are able to come in and make us laugh, and without knowing it your show today helped me deal with the situation at hand. I felt that your honesty and the way that you delivered the message will really touch a lot of people. I know that it touched me. I appreciate your honesty and even though I didn’t think it would help I appreciate the laughs today. Thanks again and I hope that you are able to continue to do your show and tell your story to our Soldiers and Airmen!
By far the best mandatory briefing I’ve ever had to attend. Thanks
Awesome job today Bernie! I’m sorry you went through what you did, but I respect how you use your experience to enhance the lives of others. You are truly an inspiration.
Bernie thank you for sharing your story, it really touched me, I’m sure after al these years it’s still not easy to talk about. Great delivery for such an important measage, appreciated the jokes, but most of all you captured the purpose, importance and you brought it home.
Congrats on your sobriety!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for doing what you do we appreciate it.
Thank you so much for delivering the Suicide message in such a different way. This topic hits home for me your testimony is awesome!
Thank you so much for coming I laughed so much today! You were great and I appreciate the laughs that you give to our service members!!
Bernie
Amazing delivery today! Thank you for sharing your personal testimony. You left a lasting impression and message for our civilians, soldiers and airman. Safe travels home and I hope you can deliver your message for years to come! God Bless you and your family.
Bernie,
Your show was amazing! Although you presented this topic with a comedic twist , the sad reality is we continue to lose soldiers and Airmen every year , and that is why this training is so important. Thank you for sharing your life story, you are truly a resilient person. I hope that those in attendance today really heard your message and understand the importance of every part of it. May God continue to bless you and your family.
PS your brother sounds like an amazing person
Bernie,
Your show/presentation was amazing and very informational. I could not stop talking about your personal stories you shared with us and how you overcame them to my family. Thank you for making this mandatory brief awesome!!
