Patriot Express Newsletter Edition #138
Fellow Patriots,
Greetings and welcome to the Patriot Express Newsletter Edition #138. Thank you for stopping by to spend some time with us. Are you recovered from your Thanksgiving holiday? Did you get to enjoy that special post-Thanksgiving turkey sandwich with dressings, cranberry sauce, a slice of cheese, and some mayo? Yum, yum. Good stuff. We got to spend five days with our two daughters, son-in-laws, and five grandchildren. By Sunday we needed a long nap.
Speaking of Sunday, I had to push my nap off because I was on the road traveling to Ocoee, TN and Chattanooga, TN to meet with one of our Patriot families and then join a larger group of Patriots for lunch and introduction to the newest HFS Preparedness Group/Node/Tribe to stand up. It was an honor to meet these fine Patriots and discuss the purpose of HFS and the goal and mission of regional preparedness teams. I'm really happy for the group leaders for the journey they have ventured the past two years and to now see a team develop is pretty amazing. Great job. I love getting out and meeting all our sister and brother Patriots around the southeastern US of A. This makes 12 teams in 11 months, so far. We may have two additional teams by the end of December. Great work and motivation. Developing teams and local preparedness training is important to get hands on training and development of skills.
The period between Thanksgiving and Christmas is my favorite time of year. Autumn is in full swing and the holidays are upon us. It is the season of giving back to help others in many different ways. If you are new and unaware, Hope for Survival is big on giving back to local communities. To reach out and help others who may need support of some type is important. . Sometimes a person may be down and simply need a helping hand and a smile to get back up. We have all been at this point sometime in life, right?
Since starting Hope for Survival less than three years ago, we committed to donating all proceeds from our HFS books, above printing cost, to a local food ministry in Kodak, TN. The first book was released in 2019, Hope for Survival Book - How Food, Water, Shelter, and Security Could Save Your Life and in 2021 I released a second book titled Hope for Survival - The Mindset. Through sales of both books in 2021, HFS was able to donate a total of $1,500 dollars to this growing need in the community and in reality across America. We donated $750 back in the spring and another $750 for the Christmas food drive that happened this past week. I was unable to attend, however Ms. Lucy made it over to support this monthly event. HFS has four Patriots who work this monthly ministry.
Thank YOU to everyone who purchased HFS books in 2021.
Let us move along...

Thursday Zoom Rallies – Rally #76 was conducted after a two week break for the Thanksgiving holiday. It was much needed so Festus and I could rest our brains. This week we discussed the Sunrise Movement, Bugging Out, and then a series of "what would you do" scenarios. We ended the rally with the regular "chatter that matters where participants can speak on any preparedness topic. Thanks to everyone who could attend.
