Thank you men and women who are committed to defending our freedom . Come say hello and share a laugh in the Kaye Auditorium at 1100 & 1400 on October 24, 2013.

Thanks for coming to Columbus! WWaaaayyyy better than a powerpoint. Keep doing what you’re doing. Also, YOU KILLED!!!
This was amazing! Thank you so much for coming to Columbus to talk to all of us for wingman day. Your message was inspirational and really hit home for me on some points. Your comedy definitely killed too!
BERNIE, BERNIE…berrrnieeee! Great show man. Thanks for sharing your story.
– Keep Truckin
Excellent show. Definitely hit home.
Bernie–Great show. Thanks for delivering an excellent message on our Wingman Day. (ps: Please leave the towels in your room when you check out.)
Thanks for a great show! We all have our stories and I appreciate you sharing yours!
So you’re saying NyQuil and orange juice is my kind of Screwdriver? 🙂
You are awesome. Come back again!
Great job, brother.
Great Work at Columbus AFB. You really Killed everyone in the auditorium. Airman Brown was so upset about his muscles not being big enough so he went to go work out in a speedo to make his muscles look bigger. Maybe next year they can call you back again…!
Thanks for coming Bernie!! Lots of laughs and fun! Highlight of wingman day! Come back soon!!!
Thanks for coming. Great Show!
Really enjoyed your stand-up! Keep inspiring people the way you do. You’re really making a difference.
Great Show!! One of the best ive seen in the 10 yrs i’ve served!! Come back next year!
You killed it.
You were awesome. I especially enjoy how you integrate your comedy with your story. Thanks for sharing with us!
Thank you so much for making this 1.5 hour show so interesting and motivating. I did not fall asleep once.
Outstanding show and message…funny and inspiring….keep up the great work!
I loved your show today! I hope the people who saw it will take what you said to heart! Thank you for sharing your life with us!
Great Show! Best briefing ever!
You KILLED it today Bernie! Thanks for sharing your personal story with us. Way better than another powerpoint
Absolutely hilarious with I truly moving story. I would count you among the best, very few people can touch and move people in so many ways. Might not mean much but you have my respect for what you are doing. As you said you killed. I enjoyed hanging out with you at the bowling alley. God bless.
Thanks for the awesome comedy and hard hitting message. Don’t send a book to Sgt Alexander; he can’t read (or write).
Best Air Force brief I’ve ever had. You were witty and I could tell you were genuine. It’s refreshing to hear this stuff straight with no BS. Hard to encounter people like that nowadays. Also, it was totally cool of you to chat and hang with us at the bowling center. Keep doing what you do brotha! And tell your bro “Hi” for me!
P.S.
Jonathan Modrall didn’t bring brownies to lunch one day. Alexander can attest to that, therefore should not receive a book. 😛
I attest to the above statement and even though we have given him a clean slate out of the goodness of our hearts. I do not think it warrants a book of this magnitude. Maybe a brownie cookbook but that’s about it.
Thanks again Bernie
There were a few “Come back next year!” comments but I’m retiring soon so a more apt comment from me would be “Where in the heck have you been for the last few years’ worth of Wingman Days?”… But seriously, thank you for the sidesplitting laughs and thought-provoking message. I know it is something we will all remember, both here at Columbus AFB and beyond!
Please excuse Rob and Alexander they get a bit jealous when they don’t get brownies when they come home from a stand up comedy show. Oh by the way guys I got brownies and only Bernie can have some! Eat my shorts.
Thank you for making mandatory fun actually fun! Especially for the civilians who weren’t to excited to be there.
Bernie, two great shows today! From all of Team BLAZE, thank you for sharing your story. All the best to you and your family!

Bernie,
You are super funny, top 2 or 3 comedians I have seen if not the best. You killed today! That was a pretty tough crowd and you made them all laugh and enjoy it so much we are all hoping to see you again soon. You made a great positive impact on everyone today! Well done!
Bernie- thanks for sharing your story. In 8 years of military briefs, I can count on one hand the ones that truly got my attention and left me thinking long after they were over. Add one more to the list! I laughed so hard I cried. Thanks for bringing this message to the armed forces. I’d rather be KILLED by comedy than power point anyday.

Thanks for sharing your story! Peace and blessings to you and your family. Aris Rivera
Great show Bernie!
Great routine! We all thought we were headed to another powerpoint presentation that we’ve seen so many times but you surprised us. You did a great job!!
We could all use a weekend at Bernie’s! Way better than a power point presentation man, thank you for breaking up the monotony.
