the American Legion Post twenty to talk about some Veterans
(02:49):
Day stuff. How you doing, Marrow, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 7 (02:51):
Good Monday morning, Dave.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Last time you were in the studio, it's probably like
seventy degrees or so.
Speaker 7 (02:57):
Well, that's right, it's November.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
What what happened? Why did you let this happen? You know? People,
why did you let this happen?
Speaker 7 (03:03):
I didn't mean to it just slipped right in, all right.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
So you were telling me off the air about your involvement,
you know, and you've done a variety of different things
in your career. As I said, you're Charleston your alliance now,
but you're involved with the American Legion Post twenty lifelong
member because you are you are a veteran, of course,
so talk talk about your involvement with the American Legion.
Speaker 7 (03:23):
Well, I'm a lifetime member of the American Legion. I'm
a combat veteran, and I'll tell you I just really
respect what the Legion does for God and country. That's
their motto and that's what they do every day. They
support veterans, military families, those in need, and they represent
the best of America. So I'm here today to represent
Post twenty of the American Legion. They're hosting along with
(03:45):
Mayor Goodwin and several other esteemed veterans. They're hosting a
Veterans Day parade the eleventh day, the eleventh hour. We
commemorate Veterans Day every November, and so this is their
eighty fourth consecutive parade and ceremony, and it kicks off
at eleven am, goes down Capitol Street, takes a left
on Coarrier to Court and back to the river Front,
(04:07):
and then it'll be followed by a short ceremony commemorating veterans.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
And the good news is is that the weather is
going to be better. It's going to be cold, but
it's gonna that's not gonna be doing what it's doing
right now.
Speaker 7 (04:18):
I think it's a balmy forty degrees dress warm.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
It's November, that's right. It's what's supposed to be eighty
four years that I didn't realize we'd been going on
that long.
Speaker 7 (04:26):
I believe there's there was one year that they did
it virtually during COVID, but they have been commemorating military
service for eighty four years through this parade on Veterans Day.
So it's a it's a pretty special commemoration.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
And it's all happening tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, and it starts
at eleven eleven am. It's to start to you, that's right, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (04:47):
And then the ceremonial it'll be short. It'll probably be
around noon at the river.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Talk about the ceremony, what's going to happen there.
Speaker 7 (04:53):
So we'll go through the Pledge of Allegiance, national anthem.
We have George Washington JRGC Cadets participating. It's always great
to see the youth, the next generation of military service.
We have Mayor Amy Goodwin, our gold Star mother. President
Rose Shilling will say a few words. Jack van Dijke,
he's a World War Two veteran. He'll be there tomorrow.
(05:15):
We'll have him wrapped up in blankets for sure. And
then we have the Tom Mirabella. He's the head of
the American Legion for the state. He'll be there as
well as some congressional representatives, I believe from Senator Justice
and Senator Capitist Staff. And then we'll hear from Major
General Crane, former Adjutant General of the West Virginia National Guard.
(05:37):
I believe General Tackett will be there as well, and
who knows who else will be there. People just end
up showing up. They just end up gathering for this ceremony.
It's always such a special special ceremony.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
It is, and I tell you and listeners have heard
me talk about it for a long time, and you
being a combat veteran, of course you know about this.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Mara.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Nobody's ever given more the West Virginia has in this
entire country. I mean, I mean literally, when you look
at the numbers per capita, nobody's ever given more. But
it's not just about that. It's about the way that
we honor our veterans. I mean, we always always show up.
I know, City of Nitro's got an event. I think
going on this evening, there's going to be all over
the state. There's Veterans Day of activities. If they're not
(06:18):
actually happening tomorrow, summer moving them, you know, to the weekend,
some more people can attend. We believe in celebrating our
veterans in this state.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
And all that Nitro event is such a special special commemoration.
I've done that through the years. It's wonderful this weekend.
My sister and I she was she had the cool
job in the military. She was a black Hawk helicopter
pilot in Iraq. We served as Grand marshals in the
Kaiser Veterans Day Parade, because that's where we're from. It
was so wonderful. I mean, the streets were lined with
(06:46):
people waving flags. And you know, in West Virginia, it
seems to me that every day is Veterans Day. Every day.
If you aren't a veteran, you're related to a veteran,
You know a veteran, you love a veteran, and it's
just who we are as West Virginia. So if you
have time tomorrow, come out, wave a flag on the
parade route, or just stop by the ceremony and tell
(07:09):
Avet thank you.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
And you mentioned the gentleman who is a World War
Two veteran. And I've got a little age on me,
so I remember everybody's patpall as we call them in
southern West Virginia. Everybody, you know, everybody's grandfather was around
and they were all World War Two veterans, and some
would tell stories, some wouldn't, and that's perfectly except well,
you know how that goes. But through the passage of time,
you know, we're starting to lose that generation, and eventually
(07:32):
we're going to lose more than Vietnam or Korea. And
Vietnam and even you know, on down to Persian Gulf
and so on and sort of because that's can't stop.
You can't stop the clock. But I if you do
have a World War Two veteran that's somewhere in your
life and your family and your church, again they're disappearing
quickly because of time, thank them too, because that's truly
(07:55):
the truly the greatest generation in my opinion.
Speaker 7 (07:58):
I saw this morning. I can't can't recall his name though,
I just briefly as I was sitting in the green room.
The last World War Two veteran who was at Pearl
Harbor passed away this weekend. And of course we had
Wetzel Sanders from here, we had Woody Williams and so
many men.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
And Julian Sockman who just passed away I think within
the last couple of months, and he was believed to
be the oldest living Marshall graduate as well. He used
to come out to the paint the Capital City Green
events that we do every year and we would always
recognize him and he passed away not long ago as well.
Speaker 7 (08:32):
Yeah, so what a model of service that generation is.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Again we're talking to Mara Boggs, representing today American leed
in Post twenty about the Veterans Day activities tomorrow Charleston
Dave Island Show and five ety Live is brought to
you in part by Morga and Morgan, America's largest injury
law firm. Let's talk about the parade routes.
Speaker 7 (08:50):
Sure thing. Yeah, So the parade lines up on the boulevard,
goes down Capitol Street, takes a left on Courier to
Courts Okay, goes down Court to the boulevard and ends
at Hadat at Riverfront Park, Okay. And so that's where
the ceremony will right.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Yeah. Can people still get in the parade.
Speaker 7 (09:08):
Or yes, you're supposed to sign up, that's through Tommy Wingo,
the head of the Post twenty. But if you just
want to show up in the morning walk, that's completely fine.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Yeah. And it's and I love, as you said, Mara,
that the fact that we're bringing in the younger generation
with the r otcs and things of that nature, because
you know, I think sometimes and this is and I
used to be young, and I know sometimes you just
you know, you see these people in the veterans and
you just you know, you don't think that much about it,
but somebody needs to edge of macatum a little bit
(09:40):
on and I'm sure the folks of the RTC programs do.
About why we are able to do what we do
in this country, it's because of veterans.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
In Kanawha County. I'll tell you our junior RTC programs
are just phenomenal. From Riverside to Capitol to g W
to Nitro. Those when you see those kids in uniform,
at least as a as a who served and whose
family was all served, it's special to see that that
they want to step forward in military service, that they're
(10:09):
willing to do that, and it motivates me personally.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Talk about your service a little bit. I mean, you know,
as best you feel comfortable with talk about your service.
Speaker 7 (10:17):
I had an amazing experience. I went to I enlisted
when I was in WVU, I was in the reserves,
and then when I graduated WVU, I became an active
duty Army officer. I was an engineer officer, and I
don't know how this happened, but I was always in
combat units. I was in combat units before women, before
(10:38):
it was really opened up. At first Cavalry Division and
then eighty second Airborne Division. I was a jump master.
I commanded a company called the six eighteenth Engineers. We
were in the eighty second and I was the first
woman commander, so fortunate to have that experience. And we
deployed to Iraq. We got the fifteen month deployment. We
were there during what's known as the Search two thousand
(11:00):
and six, two thousand and seven, and we did roadside bombs.
We uh, just were out all the time in Iraq.
And so got back from that deployment, went to DC
as a congressional fellow, where I met Senator Mansion. And
(11:21):
after I got out of the military, we had two
young children. I didn't want to deploy for a sixth time.
I couldn't leave them. I worked for him after that.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Yeah, yeah, And that's where a lot of people, you know,
it's where I got to know you is when you
work with Senator Mansion. Now you're doing great things with
the Charleston Airy Alliance as well. So give us the
details again, the time and so on and so forth.
Hit it again about the parade in Charleston ware And
please note that for a little bit of time. If
you come to the city tomorrow, maybe little traffic delays
here and there, some streets closed and so on and
so forth. But if there's anything in the world that
(11:50):
is worth it, it's honoring our veteran. So talk about
the timing again.
Speaker 8 (11:54):
Sure.
Speaker 7 (11:55):
Tuesday, November eleventh, at eleven am. The parade kicks off
on the Boulevard on Capitol Street, left on Courrier to Court,
ends up back on the boulevard at Head at Riverfront Park,
followed by a commemoration around noon, a Veterans Day service.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
All right, Maria Boggs, representing the American Legion Post twenty,
I appreciate you being here and thank you so much
for your service. And you talked about your family and
the people that had served in your family. Thank them

Meteorologs is Brian Hughes. Storm Track of thirteen is here. Brian,
good morning and welcome to the show.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Well, it's good to be here on a on a
cold Monday morning.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
So what the heck? Man, what the heck?
Speaker 6 (15:57):
I mean, money is?
Speaker 3 (16:00):
We just had it out for us. You know, we've
survived pretty good. It's fall, so she said, it's time.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Well you know, and I mean, this really isn't uncommon
for November.
Speaker 6 (16:09):
Right, yes it is.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
I love it. I love it when you prove me wrong.
Speaker 10 (16:18):
I know I'm always good at it. Listen, what in November?
Generally we get big shots. Typically they're not as stout
as this one. When I say big shot, big shots
of cold ear. But it's it's.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Quick, It's like in one day and out. This one
is a little more prolonged. I mean it's on an
order of about three days in total when you count
Sunday Holiday, Monday Tomorrow morning. And but the moisture typically
that we would get comes up out of the south.
Now this this is a direct connection with Lake Michigan,
and boy, I mean they got a foot of snow
(16:53):
there in the Chicago metro area, and that moisture still
has to wrap around in our neighborhoods and that could
be what kind of sends us so the over the top,
you know, as we go into our forecast for this afternoon,
because we get listen, I think we're geting about an
inch that would be at best, probably even when snow
squalls come by. But you know, it's it's still something
(17:15):
we have we get to get through as we go
to this afternoon, but we still have more snow in
the way, but a lot of this has an opportunity
to sort of melt a little bit because the ground
technically still is warm down there, so it is still
radiating heat.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
And again we're talking with Brian Hughes from storm Track
at thirteen and I'll tell you when I drove in,
which is about seven thirty ish, I hit town this twenty.
Roads were fine, but there could be some slick spots
here and there, especially on those bridges and overpasses well.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
And that's our biggest concern for this afternoon and into
late this aftern end of the evening is that we're
gonna have we could have a pretty big band of
snow passed by and then that's going to quickly change things.
And that happens to be right at the right at
the midst or end of our drive time home, which
is the biggest concern. And then you know, once you
(18:03):
have one, it is just a you know, it's a
cascade of events. You get one wreck on a bridge
and then it's all shut down for a while. So
this is something everybody's needs, faiths intest. If you can
get our work early go, you can stick around a
little while longer, just anything to avoid the evening commute,
because then after that then we go to the really
cold tents with temperatures down in the teams of the
(18:24):
mountains and the low twenties here, and anything that is,
you know, in liquid form will be freezing, especially on
those elevated surfaces, which, by the way, we talk about
bridges and overpasses all the time, but the number one
place that people get injured is that their back doorsteps,
stepping out on their patio.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Yeah, I mean, you're actually you're that is very true.
And I'll tell you a quick story. There's a buddy
of mine in radio in southern West Virginia that stepped
out onto his back deck and slipped and just wasn't
thinking about it. I think it was dark and he
slipped and fell and he he survived, but he had
a I mean he was in a coma for a while.
(19:00):
So this is this is nothing to nothing.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
Laugh at No, it's not.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
And listen, I've talked to a number of you are
ere doctors, the number of move friends of mine, and
they said, no, listen, when when stone and ice happens,
we don't worry about the recks because we'll get a
couple of those. It's the back porch incidents that happened
because people just aren't thinking and typically they're not wearing
shoes or they're not prepped for anything.
Speaker 10 (19:23):
Uh you know that at that point.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
So we're under a winter weather advisory here in the valley,
but other areas of the state are getting hit pretty hard.
I mean like like real snowfall, right.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Yeah, we're talking about up around the higher elevations listen
in summer. So it is gonna end up with two
to four inches worth of snow and maybe on the
upper end of it, and then back up the snow
she areas that could be four to six easily, and
you know they're not going to stop snowing there until
Tuesday morning, so this is really an elevation based snow,
and it also be in the first snow of the season,
the ground has a cool enough, so that's why most
(19:55):
of the somer that we're going to see down low.
While it would add up to an inch or two inches,
you're just not probably we're going to see that with
your ruler. But in total, we would have had probably.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
That and then tomorrow it's all gone, right, I mean,
we're still gonna have the cold temperatures. We were just
talking about the Veterans Day activities tomorrow in Charleston. It's
all going to be gone. But people want to bundle
up if they're coming out for that tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Oh man, it's gonna be It's gonna be a little
rough in the morning, not a little, a lot rough
because we are going to have, you know, the temperature
teams of twenties and that's nothing to joke about. You've
got to have all the big coats out for the
kids in the morning. So yes, be prepared for tomorrow
morning with a cold. But by the afternoon we're in
the mid forties and by the weekend we're in the
mid sixties.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
All right, sounds good, Hey, Brian, always a pleasure give
us a I know that I know how most you
know meteorologists feel about long term forecast, but just give
us a little tease here. What do you what do you?
And Spencer and the folks scene in the future for
winter twenty twenty five slash twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
On the twenty twenty five side of things, we don't
see anything too exciting just yet. But as far as January,
February and the March, we see those locked and loaded.
It's probably gonna be very similar to last year's winter,
which was not much of anything leading.
Speaker 10 (21:06):
Up to it, just a couple of little cold shots.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
But then right for that, right after Christmas around it John,
Right for Christmas, that's when we started seeing things ramp up,
and boy it got going in in January.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Yeah, all right, Brian, I appreciate it, man, and we'll
talk again soon. Hopefully not too many times this winter though.

what's looking back on it? I know that every military person,
whether they serve in war or piece time, they have
good memories, they have bad memories. What your what's your
overall memories of your service time?
Speaker 6 (23:30):
Piece of cake? Really well, it was uh parafylin and
emftry training was living hell, and imftry training was worse
than parasylin. And then I went to truck driving school
(23:52):
and that's when the weather got better, and that was okay.
Now I started going home on the weekend and that
came back. And I was stationed at an area called
Camp Geiger, which I've been before because that's where we trained.
It's part of Campbella June. And I was sitting in
(24:12):
my truck one day and a guy comes up, some
corporal said, Private Jones got some orders for you. It
was called Western Pacific westpac. That meant you're going overseas.
In the Marine Corps, they didn't tell you if you
(24:34):
were one to Vietnam, you went to Vietnam. Everybody went
to Okinawa to begin with, and then we went to Vietnam.
And Vietnam was good except for the bad parts. But
that wasn't a majority of the time. Really, the majority
(24:55):
of the time it was work. It was just work.
It just worked all the time. And but there were
some weird times over there. But and then when I
got back from Vietnam, I was stationed on at El Toro,
(25:16):
which is now closed Eltra Marine Corps air Station, and
that was a piece of cake. And I drove a
school bus. I mean, come on, you drove.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
A school bus in the military.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
I drew, well, it was they called it a school bus.
It was gray. I drove troops around and a bus.
And when you're when you're a driver, it's like being
in a union. You don't have to do anything else
other than other than drive. And I remember taking a
bunch of people, a bunch of troops out to a
(25:51):
one of the beach towns because they were in a
parade and Governor Regan was there, Senator Murphy, Mayor Yordy,
and I just walked. I just looked at looked at
the girls on the floats, and I knew that I
(26:16):
was gonna. I was getting close. I was getting close
to getting out of the service.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Did you ever consider making a career of it or
staying in longer than you did.
Speaker 8 (26:26):
Well.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
I looked back on it. I thought about that, but
I wouldn't have stated in motor transport. I would have
gone into food service. I would have I worked at
a mess hall on Okinawa, and my last month in
Vietnam I spent and I'm working in the mess hall
(26:50):
because sergeant didn't like me at the motor at the
motor pool and he thought I was a smart alec,
which I probably was. Said that what do you mean
was he said, Jones, you you better watch the way
you talk. I'll put you thirty days of mess duty.
I said, you want to put me on mess diddy,
(27:13):
go for it, and he did. And I mean, put
me on mess didy. That's like send me home.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
What how many things did you learn, Danny, when you
were on mess duty that you would transfer later when
you had these restaurants? Nothing? Nothing? Okay? Good?
Speaker 6 (27:28):
I worked in the I worked in a scullery, okay,
and that is that is where you washed dishes, okay.
And the only thing we went to work at four
and we got off at two in the afternoon, went
back at four and got off at seven. And there
(27:50):
was a gunnery sergeant there and he was talking real
nasty to some troops. I mean, these are these are
not boots, these are marines, and they wanted to kill him.
Really yeah, I mean there were people had guns over there.
And you know, you hear about instance of fragging. You
(28:15):
ever hear that tragging? Fragging? That's when you take a
grenade and throw it, throw it in a tent of
somebody don't like, and it kills them. Call that fragging.
They wanted to kill this guy. And I talked to
everybody out of it. I'm telling you the truth, though.
I mean, because he.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Was common, is that the military, or at least now where.
Speaker 6 (28:34):
It wasn't common where I was maybe out in the
bush it is, but I wasn't out in the bush.
And I volunteered to go to Vietnam. I was on
Okinawa for five months and all I did was drive
and play baseball. Played baseball seven nights a week, and
I drove for the messhole. So I worked, and that
(28:58):
it was boring. So I just into work in the
missile and I drove and we played baseball every night.
And so I put in it what's called an administrative
action for him to go to Vietnam.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
And why would you want to go to Vietnam because
most people try to avoid Vietnam.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
I thought it might get me out early. It worked
just the opposite. Okay, it kept me in longer, right
because we came back too early. But I had they
sent me, which shocked me. When I put it in,
I was half serious. I didn't think they did, but
they did. They sent me to the first Marine Air
wing in the name.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
What was the sense? And I've told the story before
you to My father's a Vietnam veteran, and he passed
in twenty fourteen of complications from agent orange? What was
the sense of the of the folks that were serving
in Vietnam about Because my dad told me, and he
was there, I made a mistake what time, saying well,
you were there before it got bad? He said, it's
(30:04):
a war. It was always bad. But he was out
of there by sixty I want to say by sixty
seven or sixty eight. He was out of it. It
was bad, okay? And uh, but he said, because I asked.
I was fascinated with it when I was a kid,
and he there's certain things he didn't like to talk about.
And I can want to think to ask a question, right, right?
And but I would I knew what I could ask
(30:27):
one I could, but I asked him, I said, what
about getting inform? Did you guys ever feel like that
you were sent to fail? And he told me point blank.
My dad may have had his faults, but one thing
is he was a very religious man, and he was honest.
He said, we knew by that point that the object
wasn't to win, and he never really expounded upon that
(30:49):
because he said there were so many times that he
and he did other things in the military, like my
dad was an office clerk. Okay, that's what he worked
in an office. He was what you call him one right, uh,
And but he said there were so many times that
we could have ended this thing or at least made
great gains, and we were told not to.
Speaker 6 (31:09):
Well, I don't know about that.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Yeah, that was his take.
Speaker 6 (31:13):
But Richard Nixon, the night before I was drafted, on
November third of sixty nine, he made his Vietnamization speech
about gradually withdrawing troops and replacing them with the Vietnamese.
He did that the night before I left, so we
(31:35):
knew there was no there was no reason to win.
I mean, there was there was not going to be
a winner to this war. But when you were over there,
it was very laid back.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
You just worked.
Speaker 6 (31:53):
I mean, you just worked. I mean it was it
was almost I mean it was so casual. It's like
almost like a beatnik experience. You know. It was like
we had sayings like when you wanted to don't get
me fired now, no no, no, when you you know
(32:13):
how the mafia where they say forget about it. Yeah,
we said, there it is, well, she's good looking. There
it is, I'm short, I'm getting out in eleven days.
There it is.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
That was your affirmation.
Speaker 6 (32:27):
Everybody said that to each other.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
There it is, well, thank Danny, thank you for your service.
Speaker 6 (32:32):
Yeah, okay, Well.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
How do you feel when people come up and say that?
Because I had a veteran one time that explained to me,
and you know, it all comes from a good place.
But he had somebody. He would frequently wear an army
veteran hat, and I mean, when you wear a hat,
somebody's going to say something. Okay. He wasn't big on
being thanked for his experience, he said, because he said,
I did what I was told to do, and he
(32:56):
was drafted. He was older, he was drafted. He said,
I mean, there's no reason to thank me. I didn't
have choice. I mean that was one guy's take.
Speaker 6 (33:03):
I mean, I'm glad that people are doing it, because
I can assure you they didn't do it back then.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
That's what my dad said.
Speaker 6 (33:09):
Yeah, they it was. I remember I got back and
went to Marshall, and people just didn't want to talk
about it, not in school. I thought it might help
me get a girl and a job. It didn't help
me do either. People didn't want to talk about it.
I went to work at Wiggins as a dishwasher, right
(33:32):
across from Old Main. There were two Wiggins. There was
one on Third Avenue. There was one right across the
street from Old Maine, and I went. The Freeman family
owned it, and I knew one of the boys. And
I got a job there and they liked me, and
they said, if you want to come over here and
(33:52):
eat breakfast, you need all you want for a dollar.
So I went over there every morning and eat breakfast,
and then I in the afternoon, I'd get there early
and eat eat my dinner.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
Talking with Danny Jones, we need to take a break.
I do want and again thank you for your service,
and I do want to get in some other things
in the news. We'll do that when we come back.

(36:51):
wv Metronews dot comference. A fire this morning corner of
Virginia seventh Avenue started around four am. The building was
being used most recently as a warehouse. It was abandoned
more than likely Danny some he's trying to stay warm,
saw that building used to be Fad Furniture, and somebody
commented on that, I don't, I mean, you know Charleston
better than I do in that in that location. I
just remembered I hadn't heard the name Fad Furniture in
(37:11):
a long time.
Speaker 6 (37:12):
Give me the address.
Speaker 4 (37:13):
I don't have the address in front of me right now.
Speaker 6 (37:15):
That's seven.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
Yeah, it was at the corner Virginian seventh Avenue. Somebody
had just commented that it was a former fat Well,
we'll get it for you. We had a caller and
they just had a question about the book. So, okay,
when's the book coming out?
Speaker 6 (37:29):
The book should be in next Monday.
Speaker 10 (37:32):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (37:33):
I'll get two hundred books, okay, and I'm gonna take
ten of them down to Taylor Books. He said, he
put him out see if he anybelly wants one, and then.
Speaker 4 (37:47):
Got to get you out of that attitude, Danny, that
nobody's gonna want people want this one.
Speaker 6 (37:51):
This is what he wants to do because a week
a week from Saturday, on the twenty second, I'll be
I'll be there at a table signing books if people
want to come in and buy one and have me
sign it. But the books will be in a week
from today. They should. I should have a few Taylor
(38:11):
books and if they move, I'll put ten more there.
Speaker 4 (38:15):
You know, I'm not going to feel with everything you
put into that project to be able to physically hold
the finished product in your hand, because it's one thing
to see it on paper, but to be able to
physically hold.
Speaker 6 (38:27):
Yeah, it's when I tell people about it, don't know
about it. I mean, people say, well, why would then
they write a book about you? Well, it wasn't my choice.
It was Charlie called me, Charlie Ryan. Yeah, and so
we did it together, and we did it pretty quickly.
(38:49):
It was it was hard, it was a lot of work.
And it's not as blue as it could be.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
And I'm gonna have to explain to some people what
blue means, you know, off color, off color adult contents. Yeah,
adult as they used to say in the movies. I
don't know whether they're still doing adult language and situations.
It's not it's not gonna not quite as bad as
it could be.
Speaker 6 (39:17):
Have I talked about Rita, Yes, okay, yeah, you've talked
about Red Rita. Rita came down. She is my my
My room was changed again and she came down and
all those Shriners were there, and she she had nothing
on her raincoat. Nice, and she took off the raincoat
(39:39):
and walked around in high heel and went back up
to my room. And if you want to find out
the rest of us, we're going to You're gonna have
to read the book because there's a lot more of
that story.
Speaker 4 (39:50):
All right, all right, we'll well we'll leave that.
Speaker 6 (39:53):
But I'll tell you something. Let me just I think
about readA every day.
Speaker 4 (39:57):
Well, I can imagine.
Speaker 6 (39:58):
Now we've got to be friends. And I think it's sad.
I think it's sad about reading.
Speaker 4 (40:05):
We had a text and set. Is there any pictures
in it?
Speaker 6 (40:07):
There's a lot of pictures in it, a lot of color,
and we I spent extra money. That's why it's twenty
nine ninety five because all the pictures that could have
been in color are in color. And and it's it's
it's a hardback with a flat you know what do
you call that a jacket? And it's a it's I
(40:31):
think it's going to be a book people like if
they'll take the time to read it. I'm an offspring
of eight people that were on the Mayflower. And when
you read to that, it might be a little dry.
So chapter three is when things kick in.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
Make a note, Chapter three when things really kick in.
I'm looking forward to it. You're gonna bring me a
copy next week because I'm gonna buy.
Speaker 6 (40:59):
It I'm going to bring you a copy. Okay, you'll
have a copy, all right. Now, I got to get
this in. People have blamed Mayor Goodwin because there's no
car show.
Speaker 4 (41:17):
Uh, the rod running do what? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (41:21):
And it's not accurate.
Speaker 4 (41:25):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (41:26):
What happened was the city had put up thirty thousand dollars.
These guys waited till the very last minute to cancel it.
And I'll tell you why, because I don't think they
want anybody looking at the books, and so Mayor Goodwin
(41:51):
didn't have time to call me or do anything else. Hey,
you want to put a car show together? But it
was there was no time. I mean they did it
like month or two months before it happened. And I
know that they took weekends and took the staff up
(42:14):
to Stunwall Jackson to the to have a gathering. They
took money from the car show.
Speaker 4 (42:21):
Okay, it's a pretty serious accusation.
Speaker 6 (42:22):
It's a pretty true accusation. Okay, all right, and I'll
stand by it, okay, all right.
Speaker 4 (42:27):
Well, and the reason that just to give the listeners
like a little inside baseball here it's been and I've
been doing this show for five years and when the
rod Run and dew Wop went away. You're right, people
blamed the mayor.
Speaker 6 (42:39):
It's not a fair it's not a fair accusation.
Speaker 4 (42:41):
And uh uh and and so for one reason or
another it went away. But you were saying, as she
has said all along, that this was not her decision.
Speaker 6 (42:50):
It wasn't and she would have she would have kept it.
Now it's gone on too long.
Speaker 3 (42:58):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (42:58):
I talked to Frank last week and at South Charleston.
He wants me to bring you know, my cars down.
Speaker 4 (43:07):
There, Mollins. We're talking about Yeah.
Speaker 6 (43:08):
Yeah, boy, they're kicking down there, aren't they.
Speaker 4 (43:11):
Yeah, South Charleston doing pretty well. But you just wanted
to get that out there because there was a lot.
There was a little off the air conversation last week
and the crossover between you and the mayor.
Speaker 6 (43:21):
Yeah, but they I believe they took they took weekends
and took trips. I don't know if they did it
once or more than once. But that's not what the money.
Speaker 4 (43:31):
Was there for.
Speaker 6 (43:33):
But where are the books? And so maybe maybe this
will scare up the books.

(47:09):
I want to talk about the shutdown. I'm gonna start
with the text, Danny. It says, well, Dave, the government
right might reopen on the word of Republicans. That's concerning.
Remember when Republicans said they weren't xenophobic and bigoted. The
New York City mayoral election proved that to be false.
Remember when Republicans said they care about children. That was
proven false by their lawsuits against judges' orders to fund
snap Remember when Republicans said they're going after violent illegal
(47:32):
immigrants American citizens getting snatched and decline or detained. Rather
prove that false, I wouldn't hold my breath for Republican
good faith negotiations on the ACA. Republicans are liars. That's
a lot.
Speaker 6 (47:44):
Yeah, I don't think I'm gonna I don't think I'm
going to go there.
Speaker 4 (47:47):
Okay, we'll talk about your opinion of the show.
Speaker 6 (47:50):
I think it took an extraordinary amount of courage for
Tim Kaine and company, so've done that.
Speaker 4 (47:56):
Yeah, it was a sixty to forty vote to take
the steps forward toward opening the guy from an eight
Senate Democrats reached a compromise with GOP leaders in exchange
for a future vote on expanding affordable healthcare.
Speaker 6 (48:06):
You know, Donna Brazil said something a couple of weeks ago.
She said, she said, what happened to the Gang of eight?
You know, why not put a gang together, you know,
and like you could put Chimkine on it. You could
put some of the people who voted to shut to
open the government. You could put Susan Collins on it
(48:26):
and try to come up with something on this healthcare
that maybe maybe people would agree to, or maybe they
could agree to disagree about and put at least put
a bill together.
Speaker 4 (48:40):
But don't we just kicking the can down the road,
because I mean this is I mean, I mean.
Speaker 6 (48:45):
Thirty nine perion in debt. Yeah, we're kicking the can
down the road. All right. Let me tell you something
I heard this morning. Okay, I watched on Facebook video
and on YouTube video there are reels and they had
this rabbi on there and he said that he and
(49:08):
a group of rabbis met. They were from New York.
They met with the new mayor. What's Zora and Donnie
or what? Yeah? Mondmi And he said it got very
dark very quickly. He said he didn't take back a thing.
Israel shouldn't exist, Zionism shouldn't be allowed from the river
(49:31):
to the sea. Uh it was, he said, it got
real dark. It said, they were real surprised.
Speaker 4 (49:38):
You're the first person that I heard ever talk about him,
And that was several months ago. And I remember you
came and I wasn't paying attention to the mayor election
New York like most people born. And then you came in,
you said, I remember very well. You looked at me
and you said we got to watch this. We had
to watch this because this is good. And what it
all boils down to to me, Danny, it's it's it's
affordability and that. And that's what a lot of people,
(49:59):
oh not all that supported him.
Speaker 6 (50:01):
He's not affected.
Speaker 4 (50:02):
For No, he's not going to be able to do
I mean, he's not a king. I mean to use
a term. You know, he's not gonna be able to
do this these things. The couple talked about.
Speaker 6 (50:11):
One other things, Big Calumn in the New York Times
is today, and he said, the future of the Democrat
Party is not with Mundami, it's with guess who, the
governor of Pennsylvania, your boy. Yeah, And and did a
huge article about him, and they had one hundred and
(50:31):
seventy comments, and this guy was answering all the comments. Right,
it's author. So it was really good. So it was
about Josh Shapiro, and I think he would represent the
heck of a future for this country is.
Speaker 4 (50:44):
Do you think the Democratic Party will go that way? Though? No, No,
I don't think so either.
Speaker 6 (50:48):
No. First thing, he's Jewish. That hurts him with them.
It wouldn't hurt him with the Republicans unless you saw
Tucker Carlson and what's her name in there?
Speaker 18 (51:02):
What?
Speaker 10 (51:02):
Well?
Speaker 6 (51:02):
I can't think of her name.
Speaker 4 (51:03):
I don't know who you're talking about.
Speaker 6 (51:05):
Oh, black chick. Did I say something wrong?
Speaker 4 (51:10):
No, it's fine, it's what's can can Ryan.
Speaker 6 (51:16):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (51:16):
It's all gets all good, it's all good.
Speaker 6 (51:18):
But but I view them as being anti Israel and
anti Semitic.
Speaker 4 (51:24):
TJ.
Speaker 18 (51:25):
Did you want to say something? I'm gonna ask any
questions ahead. I want to get you feedback on this.
Danny Politico had to pull the released over the weekend.
The plurality in the poll largest group of voters twenty
one percent all Democrats. They survey Democrats twenty one percent
said they don't know who their leader is. Everybody else
after they don't have got like a percentage.
Speaker 6 (51:41):
Point, they don't have one. Trump just docupass.
Speaker 18 (51:45):
What what good is this power though, in this affordability movement,
if no one's there to harness it, I guess is
what I'm getting.
Speaker 6 (51:50):
Well, but Mandamie thinks he can do it through socialism.
And when Trump fifth communists, Mandamie used the phrase seizing
the means of production. That's what the communists did, seizing
the mean and by the way, on you know that

(02:49):
Day stuff. How you doing, Marrow, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 7 (02:51):
Good Monday morning, Dave.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Last time you were in the studio, it's probably like
seventy degrees or so.
Speaker 7 (02:57):
Well, that's right, it's November.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
What what happened? Why did you let this happen? You know? People,
why did you let this happen?
Speaker 7 (03:03):
I didn't mean to it just slipped right in, all right.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
So you were telling me off the air about your involvement,
you know, and you've done a variety of different things
in your career. As I said, you're Charleston your alliance now,
but you're involved with the American Legion Post twenty lifelong
member because you are you are a veteran, of course,
so talk talk about your involvement with the American Legion.
Speaker 7 (03:23):
Well, I'm a lifetime member of the American Legion. I'm
a combat veteran, and I'll tell you I just really
respect what the Legion does for God and country. That's
their motto and that's what they do every day. They
support veterans, military families, those in need, and they represent
the best of America. So I'm here today to represent
Post twenty of the American Legion. They're hosting along with
(03:45):
Mayor Goodwin and several other esteemed veterans. They're hosting a
Veterans Day parade the eleventh day, the eleventh hour. We
commemorate Veterans Day every November, and so this is their
eighty fourth consecutive parade and ceremony, and it kicks off
at eleven am, goes down Capitol Street, takes a left
on Coarrier to Court and back to the river Front,
(04:07):
and then it'll be followed by a short ceremony commemorating veterans.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
And the good news is is that the weather is
going to be better. It's going to be cold, but
it's gonna that's not gonna be doing what it's doing
right now.
Speaker 7 (04:18):
I think it's a balmy forty degrees dress warm.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
It's November, that's right. It's what's supposed to be eighty
four years that I didn't realize we'd been going on
that long.
Speaker 7 (04:26):
I believe there's there was one year that they did
it virtually during COVID, but they have been commemorating military
service for eighty four years through this parade on Veterans Day.
So it's a it's a pretty special commemoration.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
And it's all happening tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, and it starts
at eleven eleven am. It's to start to you, that's right, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (04:47):
And then the ceremonial it'll be short. It'll probably be
around noon at the river.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Talk about the ceremony, what's going to happen there.
Speaker 7 (04:53):
So we'll go through the Pledge of Allegiance, national anthem.
We have George Washington JRGC Cadets participating. It's always great
to see the youth, the next generation of military service.
We have Mayor Amy Goodwin, our gold Star mother. President
Rose Shilling will say a few words. Jack van Dijke,
he's a World War Two veteran. He'll be there tomorrow.
(05:15):
We'll have him wrapped up in blankets for sure. And
then we have the Tom Mirabella. He's the head of
the American Legion for the state. He'll be there as
well as some congressional representatives, I believe from Senator Justice
and Senator Capitist Staff. And then we'll hear from Major
General Crane, former Adjutant General of the West Virginia National Guard.
(05:37):
I believe General Tackett will be there as well, and
who knows who else will be there. People just end
up showing up. They just end up gathering for this ceremony.
It's always such a special special ceremony.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
It is, and I tell you and listeners have heard
me talk about it for a long time, and you
being a combat veteran, of course you know about this.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Mara.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Nobody's ever given more the West Virginia has in this
entire country. I mean, I mean literally, when you look
at the numbers per capita, nobody's ever given more. But
it's not just about that. It's about the way that
we honor our veterans. I mean, we always always show up.
I know, City of Nitro's got an event. I think
going on this evening, there's going to be all over
the state. There's Veterans Day of activities. If they're not
(06:18):
actually happening tomorrow, summer moving them, you know, to the weekend,
some more people can attend. We believe in celebrating our
veterans in this state.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
And all that Nitro event is such a special special commemoration.
I've done that through the years. It's wonderful this weekend.
My sister and I she was she had the cool
job in the military. She was a black Hawk helicopter
pilot in Iraq. We served as Grand marshals in the
Kaiser Veterans Day Parade, because that's where we're from. It
was so wonderful. I mean, the streets were lined with
(06:46):
people waving flags. And you know, in West Virginia, it
seems to me that every day is Veterans Day. Every day.
If you aren't a veteran, you're related to a veteran,
You know a veteran, you love a veteran, and it's
just who we are as West Virginia. So if you
have time tomorrow, come out, wave a flag on the
parade route, or just stop by the ceremony and tell
(07:09):
Avet thank you.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
And you mentioned the gentleman who is a World War
Two veteran. And I've got a little age on me,
so I remember everybody's patpall as we call them in
southern West Virginia. Everybody, you know, everybody's grandfather was around
and they were all World War Two veterans, and some
would tell stories, some wouldn't, and that's perfectly except well,
you know how that goes. But through the passage of time,
you know, we're starting to lose that generation, and eventually
(07:32):
we're going to lose more than Vietnam or Korea. And
Vietnam and even you know, on down to Persian Gulf
and so on and sort of because that's can't stop.
You can't stop the clock. But I if you do
have a World War Two veteran that's somewhere in your
life and your family and your church, again they're disappearing
quickly because of time, thank them too, because that's truly
(07:55):
the truly the greatest generation in my opinion.
Speaker 7 (07:58):
I saw this morning. I can't can't recall his name though,
I just briefly as I was sitting in the green room.
The last World War Two veteran who was at Pearl
Harbor passed away this weekend. And of course we had
Wetzel Sanders from here, we had Woody Williams and so
many men.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
And Julian Sockman who just passed away I think within
the last couple of months, and he was believed to
be the oldest living Marshall graduate as well. He used
to come out to the paint the Capital City Green
events that we do every year and we would always
recognize him and he passed away not long ago as well.
Speaker 7 (08:32):
Yeah, so what a model of service that generation is.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Again we're talking to Mara Boggs, representing today American leed
in Post twenty about the Veterans Day activities tomorrow Charleston
Dave Island Show and five ety Live is brought to
you in part by Morga and Morgan, America's largest injury
law firm. Let's talk about the parade routes.
Speaker 7 (08:50):
Sure thing. Yeah, So the parade lines up on the boulevard,
goes down Capitol Street, takes a left on Courier to
Courts Okay, goes down Court to the boulevard and ends
at Hadat at Riverfront Park, Okay. And so that's where
the ceremony will right.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Yeah. Can people still get in the parade.
Speaker 7 (09:08):
Or yes, you're supposed to sign up, that's through Tommy Wingo,
the head of the Post twenty. But if you just
want to show up in the morning walk, that's completely fine.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Yeah. And it's and I love, as you said, Mara,
that the fact that we're bringing in the younger generation
with the r otcs and things of that nature, because
you know, I think sometimes and this is and I
used to be young, and I know sometimes you just
you know, you see these people in the veterans and
you just you know, you don't think that much about it,
but somebody needs to edge of macatum a little bit
(09:40):
on and I'm sure the folks of the RTC programs do.
About why we are able to do what we do
in this country, it's because of veterans.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
In Kanawha County. I'll tell you our junior RTC programs
are just phenomenal. From Riverside to Capitol to g W
to Nitro. Those when you see those kids in uniform,
at least as a as a who served and whose
family was all served, it's special to see that that
they want to step forward in military service, that they're
(10:09):
willing to do that, and it motivates me personally.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Talk about your service a little bit. I mean, you know,
as best you feel comfortable with talk about your service.
Speaker 7 (10:17):
I had an amazing experience. I went to I enlisted
when I was in WVU, I was in the reserves,
and then when I graduated WVU, I became an active
duty Army officer. I was an engineer officer, and I
don't know how this happened, but I was always in
combat units. I was in combat units before women, before
(10:38):
it was really opened up. At first Cavalry Division and
then eighty second Airborne Division. I was a jump master.
I commanded a company called the six eighteenth Engineers. We
were in the eighty second and I was the first
woman commander, so fortunate to have that experience. And we
deployed to Iraq. We got the fifteen month deployment. We
were there during what's known as the Search two thousand
(11:00):
and six, two thousand and seven, and we did roadside bombs.
We uh, just were out all the time in Iraq.
And so got back from that deployment, went to DC
as a congressional fellow, where I met Senator Mansion. And
(11:21):
after I got out of the military, we had two
young children. I didn't want to deploy for a sixth time.
I couldn't leave them. I worked for him after that.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Yeah, yeah, And that's where a lot of people, you know,
it's where I got to know you is when you
work with Senator Mansion. Now you're doing great things with
the Charleston Airy Alliance as well. So give us the
details again, the time and so on and so forth.
Hit it again about the parade in Charleston ware And
please note that for a little bit of time. If
you come to the city tomorrow, maybe little traffic delays
here and there, some streets closed and so on and
so forth. But if there's anything in the world that
(11:50):
is worth it, it's honoring our veteran. So talk about
the timing again.
Speaker 8 (11:54):
Sure.
Speaker 7 (11:55):
Tuesday, November eleventh, at eleven am. The parade kicks off
on the Boulevard on Capitol Street, left on Courrier to Court,
ends up back on the boulevard at Head at Riverfront Park,
followed by a commemoration around noon, a Veterans Day service.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
All right, Maria Boggs, representing the American Legion Post twenty,
I appreciate you being here and thank you so much
for your service. And you talked about your family and
the people that had served in your family. Thank them

Meteorologs is Brian Hughes. Storm Track of thirteen is here. Brian,
good morning and welcome to the show.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Well, it's good to be here on a on a
cold Monday morning.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
So what the heck? Man, what the heck?
Speaker 6 (15:57):
I mean, money is?
Speaker 3 (16:00):
We just had it out for us. You know, we've
survived pretty good. It's fall, so she said, it's time.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Well you know, and I mean, this really isn't uncommon
for November.
Speaker 6 (16:09):
Right, yes it is.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
I love it. I love it when you prove me wrong.
Speaker 10 (16:18):
I know I'm always good at it. Listen, what in November?
Generally we get big shots. Typically they're not as stout
as this one. When I say big shot, big shots
of cold ear. But it's it's.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Quick, It's like in one day and out. This one
is a little more prolonged. I mean it's on an
order of about three days in total when you count
Sunday Holiday, Monday Tomorrow morning. And but the moisture typically
that we would get comes up out of the south.
Now this this is a direct connection with Lake Michigan,
and boy, I mean they got a foot of snow
(16:53):
there in the Chicago metro area, and that moisture still
has to wrap around in our neighborhoods and that could
be what kind of sends us so the over the top,
you know, as we go into our forecast for this afternoon,
because we get listen, I think we're geting about an
inch that would be at best, probably even when snow
squalls come by. But you know, it's it's still something
(17:15):
we have we get to get through as we go
to this afternoon, but we still have more snow in
the way, but a lot of this has an opportunity
to sort of melt a little bit because the ground
technically still is warm down there, so it is still
radiating heat.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
And again we're talking with Brian Hughes from storm Track
at thirteen and I'll tell you when I drove in,
which is about seven thirty ish, I hit town this twenty.
Roads were fine, but there could be some slick spots
here and there, especially on those bridges and overpasses well.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
And that's our biggest concern for this afternoon and into
late this aftern end of the evening is that we're
gonna have we could have a pretty big band of
snow passed by and then that's going to quickly change things.
And that happens to be right at the right at
the midst or end of our drive time home, which
is the biggest concern. And then you know, once you
(18:03):
have one, it is just a you know, it's a
cascade of events. You get one wreck on a bridge
and then it's all shut down for a while. So
this is something everybody's needs, faiths intest. If you can
get our work early go, you can stick around a
little while longer, just anything to avoid the evening commute,
because then after that then we go to the really
cold tents with temperatures down in the teams of the
(18:24):
mountains and the low twenties here, and anything that is,
you know, in liquid form will be freezing, especially on
those elevated surfaces, which, by the way, we talk about
bridges and overpasses all the time, but the number one
place that people get injured is that their back doorsteps,
stepping out on their patio.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Yeah, I mean, you're actually you're that is very true.
And I'll tell you a quick story. There's a buddy
of mine in radio in southern West Virginia that stepped
out onto his back deck and slipped and just wasn't
thinking about it. I think it was dark and he
slipped and fell and he he survived, but he had
a I mean he was in a coma for a while.
(19:00):
So this is this is nothing to nothing.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
Laugh at No, it's not.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
And listen, I've talked to a number of you are
ere doctors, the number of move friends of mine, and
they said, no, listen, when when stone and ice happens,
we don't worry about the recks because we'll get a
couple of those. It's the back porch incidents that happened
because people just aren't thinking and typically they're not wearing
shoes or they're not prepped for anything.
Speaker 10 (19:23):
Uh you know that at that point.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
So we're under a winter weather advisory here in the valley,
but other areas of the state are getting hit pretty hard.
I mean like like real snowfall, right.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Yeah, we're talking about up around the higher elevations listen
in summer. So it is gonna end up with two
to four inches worth of snow and maybe on the
upper end of it, and then back up the snow
she areas that could be four to six easily, and
you know they're not going to stop snowing there until
Tuesday morning, so this is really an elevation based snow,
and it also be in the first snow of the season,
the ground has a cool enough, so that's why most
(19:55):
of the somer that we're going to see down low.
While it would add up to an inch or two inches,
you're just not probably we're going to see that with
your ruler. But in total, we would have had probably.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
That and then tomorrow it's all gone, right, I mean,
we're still gonna have the cold temperatures. We were just
talking about the Veterans Day activities tomorrow in Charleston. It's
all going to be gone. But people want to bundle
up if they're coming out for that tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Oh man, it's gonna be It's gonna be a little
rough in the morning, not a little, a lot rough
because we are going to have, you know, the temperature
teams of twenties and that's nothing to joke about. You've
got to have all the big coats out for the
kids in the morning. So yes, be prepared for tomorrow
morning with a cold. But by the afternoon we're in
the mid forties and by the weekend we're in the
mid sixties.

And Spencer and the folks scene in the future for
winter twenty twenty five slash twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
On the twenty twenty five side of things, we don't
see anything too exciting just yet. But as far as January,
February and the March, we see those locked and loaded.
It's probably gonna be very similar to last year's winter,
which was not much of anything leading.
Speaker 10 (21:06):
Up to it, just a couple of little cold shots.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
But then right for that, right after Christmas around it John,

Speaker 6 (22:50):
How you doing, man, I'm doing all right.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
So tomorrow's Veterans Day and I talked tomorrow Boggs from
the American Legion about the activities that they've got going on.
Charles in tomorrow course eleven am as they always do
eighty fourth year. Uh that that that they've been doing
that ceremony. I'll ask you about about your about your service,
uh as much as you want to talk about it,
(23:17):
what's looking back on it? I know that every military person,
whether they serve in war or piece time, they have
good memories, they have bad memories. What your what's your
overall memories of your service time?
Speaker 6 (23:30):
Piece of cake? Really well, it was uh parafylin and
emftry training was living hell, and imftry training was worse
than parasylin. And then I went to truck driving school
(23:52):
and that's when the weather got better, and that was okay.
Now I started going home on the weekend and that
came back. And I was stationed at an area called
Camp Geiger, which I've been before because that's where we trained.
It's part of Campbella June. And I was sitting in
(24:12):
my truck one day and a guy comes up, some
corporal said, Private Jones got some orders for you. It
was called Western Pacific westpac. That meant you're going overseas.
In the Marine Corps, they didn't tell you if you
(24:34):
were one to Vietnam, you went to Vietnam. Everybody went
to Okinawa to begin with, and then we went to Vietnam.
And Vietnam was good except for the bad parts. But
that wasn't a majority of the time. Really, the majority
(24:55):
of the time it was work. It was just work.
It just worked all the time. And but there were
some weird times over there. But and then when I
got back from Vietnam, I was stationed on at El Toro,
(25:16):
which is now closed Eltra Marine Corps air Station, and
that was a piece of cake. And I drove a
school bus. I mean, come on, you drove.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
A school bus in the military.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
I drew, well, it was they called it a school bus.
It was gray. I drove troops around and a bus.
And when you're when you're a driver, it's like being
in a union. You don't have to do anything else
other than other than drive. And I remember taking a
bunch of people, a bunch of troops out to a
(25:51):
one of the beach towns because they were in a
parade and Governor Regan was there, Senator Murphy, Mayor Yordy,
and I just walked. I just looked at looked at
the girls on the floats, and I knew that I
(26:16):
was gonna. I was getting close. I was getting close
to getting out of the service.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Did you ever consider making a career of it or
staying in longer than you did.
Speaker 8 (26:26):
Well.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
I looked back on it. I thought about that, but
I wouldn't have stated in motor transport. I would have
gone into food service. I would have I worked at
a mess hall on Okinawa, and my last month in
Vietnam I spent and I'm working in the mess hall
(26:50):
because sergeant didn't like me at the motor at the
motor pool and he thought I was a smart alec,
which I probably was. Said that what do you mean
was he said, Jones, you you better watch the way
you talk. I'll put you thirty days of mess duty.
I said, you want to put me on mess diddy,
(27:13):
go for it, and he did. And I mean, put
me on mess didy. That's like send me home.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
What how many things did you learn, Danny, when you
were on mess duty that you would transfer later when
you had these restaurants? Nothing? Nothing? Okay? Good?
Speaker 6 (27:28):
I worked in the I worked in a scullery, okay,
and that is that is where you washed dishes, okay.
And the only thing we went to work at four
and we got off at two in the afternoon, went
back at four and got off at seven. And there
(27:50):
was a gunnery sergeant there and he was talking real
nasty to some troops. I mean, these are these are
not boots, these are marines, and they wanted to kill him.
Really yeah, I mean there were people had guns over there.
And you know, you hear about instance of fragging. You
(28:15):
ever hear that tragging? Fragging? That's when you take a
grenade and throw it, throw it in a tent of
somebody don't like, and it kills them. Call that fragging.
They wanted to kill this guy. And I talked to
everybody out of it. I'm telling you the truth, though.
I mean, because he.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Was common, is that the military, or at least now where.
Speaker 6 (28:34):
It wasn't common where I was maybe out in the
bush it is, but I wasn't out in the bush.
And I volunteered to go to Vietnam. I was on
Okinawa for five months and all I did was drive
and play baseball. Played baseball seven nights a week, and
I drove for the messhole. So I worked, and that
(28:58):
it was boring. So I just into work in the
missile and I drove and we played baseball every night.
And so I put in it what's called an administrative
action for him to go to Vietnam.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
And why would you want to go to Vietnam because
most people try to avoid Vietnam.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
I thought it might get me out early. It worked
just the opposite. Okay, it kept me in longer, right
because we came back too early. But I had they
sent me, which shocked me. When I put it in,
I was half serious. I didn't think they did, but
they did. They sent me to the first Marine Air
wing in the name.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
What was the sense? And I've told the story before
you to My father's a Vietnam veteran, and he passed
in twenty fourteen of complications from agent orange? What was
the sense of the of the folks that were serving
in Vietnam about Because my dad told me, and he
was there, I made a mistake what time, saying well,
you were there before it got bad? He said, it's
(30:04):
a war. It was always bad. But he was out
of there by sixty I want to say by sixty
seven or sixty eight. He was out of it. It
was bad, okay? And uh, but he said, because I asked.
I was fascinated with it when I was a kid,
and he there's certain things he didn't like to talk about.
And I can want to think to ask a question, right, right?
And but I would I knew what I could ask
(30:27):
one I could, but I asked him, I said, what
about getting inform? Did you guys ever feel like that
you were sent to fail? And he told me point blank.
My dad may have had his faults, but one thing
is he was a very religious man, and he was honest.
He said, we knew by that point that the object
wasn't to win, and he never really expounded upon that
(30:49):
because he said there were so many times that he
and he did other things in the military, like my
dad was an office clerk. Okay, that's what he worked
in an office. He was what you call him one right, uh,
And but he said there were so many times that
we could have ended this thing or at least made
great gains, and we were told not to.
Speaker 6 (31:09):
Well, I don't know about that.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Yeah, that was his take.
Speaker 6 (31:13):
But Richard Nixon, the night before I was drafted, on
November third of sixty nine, he made his Vietnamization speech
about gradually withdrawing troops and replacing them with the Vietnamese.
He did that the night before I left, so we
(31:35):
knew there was no there was no reason to win.
I mean, there was there was not going to be
a winner to this war. But when you were over there,
it was very laid back.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
You just worked.
Speaker 6 (31:53):
I mean, you just worked. I mean it was it
was almost I mean it was so casual. It's like
almost like a beatnik experience. You know. It was like
we had sayings like when you wanted to don't get
me fired now, no no, no, when you you know
(32:13):
how the mafia where they say forget about it. Yeah,
we said, there it is, well, she's good looking. There
it is, I'm short, I'm getting out in eleven days.
There it is.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
That was your affirmation.
Speaker 6 (32:27):
Everybody said that to each other.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
There it is, well, thank Danny, thank you for your service.
Speaker 6 (32:32):
Yeah, okay, Well.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
How do you feel when people come up and say that?
Because I had a veteran one time that explained to me,
and you know, it all comes from a good place.
But he had somebody. He would frequently wear an army
veteran hat, and I mean, when you wear a hat,
somebody's going to say something. Okay. He wasn't big on
being thanked for his experience, he said, because he said,
I did what I was told to do, and he
(32:56):
was drafted. He was older, he was drafted. He said,
I mean, there's no reason to thank me. I didn't
have choice. I mean that was one guy's take.
Speaker 6 (33:03):
I mean, I'm glad that people are doing it, because
I can assure you they didn't do it back then.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
That's what my dad said.
Speaker 6 (33:09):
Yeah, they it was. I remember I got back and
went to Marshall, and people just didn't want to talk
about it, not in school. I thought it might help
me get a girl and a job. It didn't help
me do either. People didn't want to talk about it.
I went to work at Wiggins as a dishwasher, right
(33:32):
across from Old Main. There were two Wiggins. There was
one on Third Avenue. There was one right across the
street from Old Maine, and I went. The Freeman family
owned it, and I knew one of the boys. And
I got a job there and they liked me, and
they said, if you want to come over here and
(33:52):
eat breakfast, you need all you want for a dollar.
So I went over there every morning and eat breakfast,
and then I in the afternoon, I'd get there early
and eat eat my dinner.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
Talking with Danny Jones, we need to take a break.
I do want and again thank you for your service,
and I do want to get in some other things
in the news. We'll do that when we come back.

(36:51):
wv Metronews dot comference. A fire this morning corner of
Virginia seventh Avenue started around four am. The building was
being used most recently as a warehouse. It was abandoned
more than likely Danny some he's trying to stay warm,
saw that building used to be Fad Furniture, and somebody
commented on that, I don't, I mean, you know Charleston
better than I do in that in that location. I
just remembered I hadn't heard the name Fad Furniture in
(37:11):
a long time.
Speaker 6 (37:12):
Give me the address.
Speaker 4 (37:13):
I don't have the address in front of me right now.
Speaker 6 (37:15):
That's seven.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
Yeah, it was at the corner Virginian seventh Avenue. Somebody
had just commented that it was a former fat Well,
we'll get it for you. We had a caller and
they just had a question about the book. So, okay,
when's the book coming out?
Speaker 6 (37:29):
The book should be in next Monday.
Speaker 10 (37:32):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (37:33):
I'll get two hundred books, okay, and I'm gonna take
ten of them down to Taylor Books. He said, he
put him out see if he anybelly wants one, and then.
Speaker 4 (37:47):
Got to get you out of that attitude, Danny, that
nobody's gonna want people want this one.
Speaker 6 (37:51):
This is what he wants to do because a week
a week from Saturday, on the twenty second, I'll be
I'll be there at a table signing books if people
want to come in and buy one and have me
sign it. But the books will be in a week
from today. They should. I should have a few Taylor
(38:11):
books and if they move, I'll put ten more there.
Speaker 4 (38:15):
You know, I'm not going to feel with everything you
put into that project to be able to physically hold
the finished product in your hand, because it's one thing
to see it on paper, but to be able to
physically hold.
Speaker 6 (38:27):
Yeah, it's when I tell people about it, don't know
about it. I mean, people say, well, why would then
they write a book about you? Well, it wasn't my choice.
It was Charlie called me, Charlie Ryan. Yeah, and so
we did it together, and we did it pretty quickly.
(38:49):
It was it was hard, it was a lot of work.
And it's not as blue as it could be.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
And I'm gonna have to explain to some people what
blue means, you know, off color, off color adult contents. Yeah,
adult as they used to say in the movies. I
don't know whether they're still doing adult language and situations.
It's not it's not gonna not quite as bad as
it could be.
Speaker 6 (39:17):
Have I talked about Rita, Yes, okay, yeah, you've talked
about Red Rita. Rita came down. She is my my
My room was changed again and she came down and
all those Shriners were there, and she she had nothing
on her raincoat. Nice, and she took off the raincoat
(39:39):
and walked around in high heel and went back up
to my room. And if you want to find out
the rest of us, we're going to You're gonna have
to read the book because there's a lot more of
that story.
Speaker 4 (39:50):
All right, all right, we'll well we'll leave that.
Speaker 6 (39:53):
But I'll tell you something. Let me just I think
about readA every day.
Speaker 4 (39:57):
Well, I can imagine.
Speaker 6 (39:58):
Now we've got to be friends. And I think it's sad.
I think it's sad about reading.
Speaker 4 (40:05):
We had a text and set. Is there any pictures
in it?
Speaker 6 (40:07):
There's a lot of pictures in it, a lot of color,
and we I spent extra money. That's why it's twenty
nine ninety five because all the pictures that could have
been in color are in color. And and it's it's
it's a hardback with a flat you know what do
you call that a jacket? And it's a it's I
(40:31):
think it's going to be a book people like if
they'll take the time to read it. I'm an offspring
of eight people that were on the Mayflower. And when
you read to that, it might be a little dry.
So chapter three is when things kick in.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
Make a note, Chapter three when things really kick in.
I'm looking forward to it. You're gonna bring me a
copy next week because I'm gonna buy.
Speaker 6 (40:59):
It I'm going to bring you a copy. Okay, you'll
have a copy, all right. Now, I got to get
this in. People have blamed Mayor Goodwin because there's no
car show.
Speaker 4 (41:17):
Uh, the rod running do what? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (41:21):
And it's not accurate.
Speaker 4 (41:25):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (41:26):
What happened was the city had put up thirty thousand dollars.
These guys waited till the very last minute to cancel it.
And I'll tell you why, because I don't think they
want anybody looking at the books, and so Mayor Goodwin
(41:51):
didn't have time to call me or do anything else. Hey,
you want to put a car show together? But it
was there was no time. I mean they did it
like month or two months before it happened. And I
know that they took weekends and took the staff up
(42:14):
to Stunwall Jackson to the to have a gathering. They
took money from the car show.
Speaker 4 (42:21):
Okay, it's a pretty serious accusation.
Speaker 6 (42:22):
It's a pretty true accusation. Okay, all right, and I'll
stand by it, okay, all right.
Speaker 4 (42:27):
Well, and the reason that just to give the listeners
like a little inside baseball here it's been and I've
been doing this show for five years and when the
rod Run and dew Wop went away. You're right, people
blamed the mayor.
Speaker 6 (42:39):
It's not a fair it's not a fair accusation.
Speaker 4 (42:41):
And uh uh and and so for one reason or
another it went away. But you were saying, as she
has said all along, that this was not her decision.
Speaker 6 (42:50):
It wasn't and she would have she would have kept it.
Now it's gone on too long.
Speaker 3 (42:58):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (42:58):
I talked to Frank last week and at South Charleston.
He wants me to bring you know, my cars down.
Speaker 4 (43:07):
There, Mollins. We're talking about Yeah.
Speaker 6 (43:08):
Yeah, boy, they're kicking down there, aren't they.
Speaker 4 (43:11):
Yeah, South Charleston doing pretty well. But you just wanted
to get that out there because there was a lot.
There was a little off the air conversation last week
and the crossover between you and the mayor.
Speaker 6 (43:21):
Yeah, but they I believe they took they took weekends
and took trips. I don't know if they did it
once or more than once. But that's not what the money.
Speaker 4 (43:31):
Was there for.
Speaker 6 (43:33):
But where are the books? And so maybe maybe this
will scare up the books.

(47:09):
I want to talk about the shutdown. I'm gonna start
with the text, Danny. It says, well, Dave, the government
right might reopen on the word of Republicans. That's concerning.
Remember when Republicans said they weren't xenophobic and bigoted. The
New York City mayoral election proved that to be false.
Remember when Republicans said they care about children. That was
proven false by their lawsuits against judges' orders to fund
snap Remember when Republicans said they're going after violent illegal
(47:32):
immigrants American citizens getting snatched and decline or detained. Rather
prove that false, I wouldn't hold my breath for Republican
good faith negotiations on the ACA. Republicans are liars. That's
a lot.
Speaker 6 (47:44):
Yeah, I don't think I'm gonna I don't think I'm
going to go there.
Speaker 4 (47:47):
Okay, we'll talk about your opinion of the show.
Speaker 6 (47:50):
I think it took an extraordinary amount of courage for
Tim Kaine and company, so've done that.
Speaker 4 (47:56):
Yeah, it was a sixty to forty vote to take
the steps forward toward opening the guy from an eight
Senate Democrats reached a compromise with GOP leaders in exchange
for a future vote on expanding affordable healthcare.
Speaker 6 (48:06):
You know, Donna Brazil said something a couple of weeks ago.
She said, she said, what happened to the Gang of eight?
You know, why not put a gang together, you know,
and like you could put Chimkine on it. You could
put some of the people who voted to shut to
open the government. You could put Susan Collins on it
(48:26):
and try to come up with something on this healthcare
that maybe maybe people would agree to, or maybe they
could agree to disagree about and put at least put
a bill together.
Speaker 4 (48:40):
But don't we just kicking the can down the road,
because I mean this is I mean, I mean.
Speaker 6 (48:45):
Thirty nine perion in debt. Yeah, we're kicking the can
down the road. All right. Let me tell you something
I heard this morning. Okay, I watched on Facebook video
and on YouTube video there are reels and they had
this rabbi on there and he said that he and
(49:08):
a group of rabbis met. They were from New York.
They met with the new mayor. What's Zora and Donnie
or what? Yeah? Mondmi And he said it got very
dark very quickly. He said he didn't take back a thing.
Israel shouldn't exist, Zionism shouldn't be allowed from the river
(49:31):
to the sea. Uh it was, he said, it got
real dark. It said, they were real surprised.
Speaker 4 (49:38):
You're the first person that I heard ever talk about him,
And that was several months ago. And I remember you
came and I wasn't paying attention to the mayor election
New York like most people born. And then you came in,
you said, I remember very well. You looked at me
and you said we got to watch this. We had
to watch this because this is good. And what it
all boils down to to me, Danny, it's it's it's
affordability and that. And that's what a lot of people,
(49:59):
oh not all that supported him.
Speaker 6 (50:01):
He's not affected.
Speaker 4 (50:02):
For No, he's not going to be able to do
I mean, he's not a king. I mean to use
a term. You know, he's not gonna be able to
do this these things. The couple talked about.
Speaker 6 (50:11):
One other things, Big Calumn in the New York Times
is today, and he said, the future of the Democrat
Party is not with Mundami, it's with guess who, the
governor of Pennsylvania, your boy. Yeah, And and did a
huge article about him, and they had one hundred and
(50:31):
seventy comments, and this guy was answering all the comments. Right,
it's author. So it was really good. So it was
about Josh Shapiro, and I think he would represent the
heck of a future for this country is.
Speaker 4 (50:44):
Do you think the Democratic Party will go that way? Though? No, No,
I don't think so either.
Speaker 6 (50:48):
No. First thing, he's Jewish. That hurts him with them.
It wouldn't hurt him with the Republicans unless you saw
Tucker Carlson and what's her name in there?
Speaker 18 (51:02):
What?
Speaker 10 (51:02):
Well?
Speaker 6 (51:02):
I can't think of her name.
Speaker 4 (51:03):
I don't know who you're talking about.
Speaker 6 (51:05):
Oh, black chick. Did I say something wrong?
Speaker 4 (51:10):
No, it's fine, it's what's can can Ryan.
Speaker 6 (51:16):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (51:16):
It's all gets all good, it's all good.
Speaker 6 (51:18):
But but I view them as being anti Israel and
anti Semitic.
Speaker 4 (51:24):
TJ.
Speaker 18 (51:25):
Did you want to say something? I'm gonna ask any
questions ahead. I want to get you feedback on this.
Danny Politico had to pull the released over the weekend.
The plurality in the poll largest group of voters twenty
one percent all Democrats. They survey Democrats twenty one percent
said they don't know who their leader is. Everybody else
after they don't have got like a percentage.
Speaker 6 (51:41):
Point, they don't have one. Trump just docupass.
Speaker 18 (51:45):
What what good is this power though, in this affordability movement,
if no one's there to harness it, I guess is
what I'm getting.
Speaker 6 (51:50):
Well, but Mandamie thinks he can do it through socialism.
And when Trump fifth communists, Mandamie used the phrase seizing
the means of production. That's what the communists did, seizing
the mean and by the way, on you know that
