I had a blast today in the Bayou Theater. Thank you Tom, Larry, Mary, Collette, Debra for hosting my show. Thank you to the many great soldiers and civilians who attended today. Hearing you guys respond today really made me want to work harder. I hope I brought you a few laughs and maybe even left you with a story which you will remember. Life is good. Only because you troops provide us the FREEDOM we love and enjoy. Thank you Ft Polk. PS…Debra. The Egg rolls were AWESOME!!

Bernie, thanks forthe laughs but most of all for the message!
Bernie you were awesome my cheeks hurt!!!!
Bernie,
You have a great way of getting this extremely important message across, laughter and seriousness seemed to go hand in hand!
Bernie,
What you said today hit so close to home. You were me until January 4th of this year. We can talk more about it, but not in this venue. Thank you for the laughs and the message, I sincerely pray that those that needed to hear it take heed of your advice.
Bernie,
I must say, at first I was dreading coming to what I figured would be a mandatory “death-by-powerpoint” mass briefing. Boy, was I wrong! It was a refreshing and funny change to the norm! May God continue to bless you in you travels and you mission.
Thank you for the laughs that we have today. Good lesson for those that drink. Everything happen for a reason and you found yours. God bless your mother, and your family.
Thank You for uplifting comedy show and using your personal life to give us a well needed message.

Great show, not going to lie i dreaded coming because any other mandatory army class is boring but i was surprised this one wasn’t. Now only if the army can do that for other classes maybe people wouldn’t hate it so much.

Great show…remember whenever your in a hotel and decide to write on mirrors put motivational words at the top before I will Kill Tomorrow. Enjoyed myself
“Bernie on the Rocks”! No doubt your message resonated with those who were on the fence. And to think, all that comedy without a drink! You blew us away – mandatory fun with a message – hilarious!

Your show was awesome! I’m glad we had something other than death by PowerPoint. We had someone who could get a great message out in a positive way. I’m sorry you lost you brother but it’s great that you can actually talk about it. I also think its great that you spend as much time as possible with your other brother. Thank you for coming out!
Thank you for taking the time to come talk with us. Loved your comedy and your personal experience.
Wonderful Mandatory Training!!!!
That was a very good training, Thank you for what you are doing to the military.
I loved the show! Thank you for coming and delivering the best mandatory training I have ever attended.
Dear Bernie,
I want to start out by saying ” I drive a Ford econoline 250, full size old school van!” lol I am a mother of 4 and take care of my mother. I was told to come to your show by my chain of command and I am glad I was there! Today I was informed that my Chief with whom I deployed with killed him self yesterday. thank you for helping me cope with this more to say…
Great show Bernie,I would only hope that all the military installations could get a chance to hear your message.Thanks again, and the best of luck to you in your future endeavours.
Bernie,
I was one of the lucky ones that could get away from working at the hospital to go see you and it was awesome! I wish my peers here at BJACH had the opportunity to hear your testimony…. Maybe next time!!
Great way to bring a message. Yesterday in your last show at Fort Polk everybody got a good message with a great comedy show. Thanks for doing this for us and I hope to see your show again.
Hey man that was a good show the other day i couldnt stop laughing. Keep up the good work and keep spreading the stories of your brother. Hope to see you again.
Even though it was funny and a great change of pace from “Death by Power Point”, the message definately got across. I can relate to the impact that it does to family members, friends and fellow Service Members as I have seen it first hand. Keep up the great message!!
Big laughs. Bigger message. Thanks for what you do!
Bernie, Thank you for the laughs, the inspiration and your dedication to our Soldiers.
I was going to take a nap…but it turned out I had a good laugh. You were awesome and I sure hope people who have substance abuse problems wake up and change their lives. Only YOU can change YOU!
I loved your show! Definitely the best mandatory training I’ve ever attended. Thank you for coming to Fort Polk!
A. Your honesty was refreshing.
B. No powerpoint at mandatory training=awesomeness.
C. Being able to find humor in tragic situations and using that to encourage others is an amazing gift. Thank you for being responsible with it.
Bernie,
As always great job…From the first time I saw you I knew that your message was special and will touch someone. we have had contact with a few of our Soldiers and two civilians come to seek assistance already. Keep the FIAT moving to other installations and return to Polk soon.
Hey Bernie,
Thanks for all you do for the Army Family and the other branches of service. I believe you touched many folks and gave them some direction of where to turn for help.
Bernie,
Your message came through “Loud and Clear” to our Soldiers & Civilians. You put on a “Great Show at Bayou Theater Monday, 10 Sept 2012”.

Thank you, Bernie, for your comedy with a message. It was well received.
Thank you Bernie for sharing your story with all of us here at Fort Polk, it really touched my heart and I believed your story touched others as well. Its people like you who inspire other people to do the right thing and making the first step to get help. Once again thank you for all you do and stay focused.
Loved the show! I laughed till I cried, was saddened at parts and praying that it helped all those who need it. People relate so much better to those that have been through it.. I had an excellent time. Awesome!!!
The show was great, thanks!
Thank you for the laughs. Loved the message!
