Congrats to “I Killed” raffle book winners: Robin Hartmann and James Walker!!
Hey Fort Detrick you were awesome today!!! I finished up my stay in Maryland with 2 shows at Fort Detrick. Thank you to all soldiers and civilians who came to the Fort Detrick Auditorium. I’m glad we all had a few laughs and hopefully left you with some valuable insight and tools on resiliency! USAG Fort Detrick provides sustainable base operations support, quality of life programs, and environmental stewardship to facilitate the sustainment of vital national interests. It also supports five cabinet-level agencies: The Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Agriculture, Department of Homeland Security and Department of Health and Human Services. Thanks again to the ASAP department for bringing me here. Photo courtesy of Heather McNany and Sheri Schaefer;)

Enjoyed your presentation today ???
Your show was outstanding and sent forward a powerful and remarkable message. Keep up the good work and I hope to be able to see you again in the future.
You made my face hurt from laughing and my heart hurt from your personal story. I hope many heed your message of Respect and can be inspired by your courage to get help if needed. We were blessed to hear from you today.
Great presentation at For Detrick today. Well delivered message.
Your presentation touched my heart and soul. Your words can heal many wounds. You are outstanding and awesome. May God bless you and your family. Your brother Scott who committed suicide is watching you from above and getting deep solace. Much appreciation, Nrusingha Mishra

Thank You for sharing your personal stories with us today! You are an inspiration. The comedy was just what the doctor ordered. I laughed and cried and left the show feeling uplifted. You definitely made training fun and worthwhile.
Great show brother. Love your perspective and the delivery was fantastic. Wish I had your talent. Keep killing my man.
Great show today. Like I told you after the show, the Ft Detrick auditorium is the old commissary. So congratulations on hitting the big time. 😉 Semper Fi!
Great show with a wonderful message. Thank you for sharing a painful past for the benefit of others.
Great show today! Well-delivered message! Appreciate you sharing such a personal message! I wish you all the best! Keep “KILLING”
I just retired from the military after 32.5 years. The time was a mix of active and National Guard. 26 years was in the Guard. Being a DoD civilian and Guard I would have to sit through the presentation you gave twice a year. This was the most thought provoking, heartfelt, presentation that I have been to as of this writing. Thank You for sharing your story. Your brother is always alive in heart and spirit. Thanks Chip
Bernie I saw you today! Great presentation. I was interested in your presentation because your bio mentioned recovery and I facilitate Celebrate Recovery in my area. One key step you mentioned today was making a fearless and moral inventory. Its not easy to do. I am glad you were able to overcome, and are sharing your story with others. Thank you.
Great bit today. Really funny and I appreciate your sharing your troubles and triumphs. Definitely the best training I’ve had in years. 🙂 Best of luck to you.
Bernie,It was a great training event we had in years! Thanks so much for sharing your personal story. Thanks.
Bernie, You gave us many, many lessons today. Thank you. You made me laugh, you made me think, you made me tear a little, you inspired me, and you taught some good lessons about life. As I walked out of the door one of the Commanders walking with me said your talk demonstrated “we can always turn it around”. Thank you for turning around your life and bringing some great lessons to us in a very entertaining way.
I am so glad I had the opportunity to see you today. You had me laughing so hard I was crying, yet at the same time my heart was crying from your story. Thanks for sharing!
I attended the show on 27 September and glad that I did. The comedy was clean and funny, but message that came with it was valuable and powerful. Hopefully every single military member will get the opportunity of this training. Thank you for being transparent. If it reaches one person, that is another life that is saved.

Bernie,
Thank you for blessing us with your life and allowing me to introduce my favorite Soldier SSG Knighten! We have a few things in common, we are both from NY (Jamaica, Queens), we are about the same age, and we both LOVE our Soldiers.
Thanks Again.

Bernie, Your message today touched so many emotions… from side-splitting laughter to in-your-face reality, from heartfelt sorrow to melt-your-heart happiness. Your message gives hope to many that may be headed down the road that you traveled, and harmony with those that have similarly traveled that road. Thank you for sharing your story.
Mr. Mcgrenahan, the first time I seen you on tour in Naval Support Activity Naples, Italy 2015. When I learned that you were coming to Fort Detrick I knew I had to come and personally tell you thank you for the support you given to our military but above all I want to thank you for inspiring me to make that change in my life.

Thank you for sharing your story in a way that shows both the hazards of poor decision making and the success that can come from smart choices. I wish you the best in your career and hope to see your act again.
Great show! Really enjoyed it and was very informative on the reality of what we consider “social” drinking.
Great show. I wish all mandatory training sessions were this lively and informative. See you in Vegas!!!!!!

They way that your merge your life story, your comedy skills, and the difficult ASAP material is just simply brilliant. I hope to see you again!
