Patriot Express Newsletter Edition #61
Fellow Patriots,
Good morning!
Welcome to the Patriot Express Newsletter (PENL) Edition #61. Thanks for your time and for being here. Ms. Lucy and I certainly appreciate you stopping by to check out news and views for the week. It has been a very blessed week in our household. I believe Ms. Lucy is on the mend from her annual bout of poison ivy. A steroid shot, another script, swollen eye, itch and scratch, and lots of time to mend. It’s looking up.
It was birthday week for Bravo Echo. Ms. Lucy had a few goodies to treat me special along with a few visitors through the week. (More in Thoughts for the Week). It was great. Cupcakes, sugar free cherry pie, biscuits and gravy, Gyro, grilled chicken and veggie kabobs... I'm blessed. I told you how I put in a nice flag pole for our red, white, and blue. I now have a beautiful blue Air Force flag to fly from the back deck. Wilson and I can enjoy two beautiful flags flying as the sun rises each morning. Let the bells of freedom ring across the land. We are free.
I want to thank everyone for your emails over the past week. Thanks for your time to write and communicate with me at HFS. I appreciate your efforts much and the opportunity to chat on whatever topic you present for discussion. It's great reading about all the preparedness projects being worked and completed. One reader from Southeastern N.C. wrote to tell me thanks and how my book, "Hope For Survival" helped their family and other extended family members be prepared in advance of Covid-19 and everything that has followed to date. Thanks for sharing the great news. Self-reliance through preparedness is the goal.
Be sure to check out the training section for a special announcement for an upcoming guest speaker.

Thursday Zoom Rallies - We are doing weekly preparedness rallies on Thursdays called Zoom Aerobics where we discuss world events and topics of interest with the Patriots attending. We completed week ten on Thursday and I’m sure this event will continue in the weeks ahead. It is very satisfying to see friendships being built and information and skills being taught and learned. We have also started having different attendees conduct specific briefs within the weekly rally. This week’s topic was Essential Oils and Ms. Jeannie presented great information and videos to train the group. Next week will be the "Three best animals for ease of care, space, and protein" to be presented by HFS contributing author, Gun Smoke. These briefs are part of the total zoom rally. Other information on Preparedness is provided and discussed.
Special Guest Speaker: Hope for Survival is happy to announce Christopher Scott from the Christopher Scott podcast will be a special guest speaker at the Thursday, June 25th Zoom Rally.
"Chris is an author, speaker and an American conservative commentator who also offers a conservative alternative. Christopher Scott is not just a conservative news host. Much of his conservative commentary is shaped by perspective of Common Sense by Thomas Paine.
Christopher Scott is the author of Common Sense in Modern English which he spent over a year translating form the original manuscript. Making him, arguably the authority on Common Sense. This common sense perspective sets his commentary apart from other far right channels. Because it’s a podcast about ideas it also sets the Christopher Show apart from other political commentators.
A Marine Corps Veteran and freedom loving Patriot, Sir Christopher will speak on Leadership - The expectations of leadership and the consequences of failing to lead."
Please mark your calendar and stop by to support Chris and Hope for Survival. Again, this will be on June 25, 2020, 7 pm EST or 1900 for military time. You can find a link to Chris's Podcast page below in the Thoughts for the Week section.
If you have interest in attending a Hope for Survival Zoom virtual training event please email me at preparedness101@protonmail.com to get on the distribution list for attendance information. The virtual conference room information will not be posted in open on the website for OPSEC reasons.
