<v Speaker 1>Silver guide at Genesis gooldr dot com. Excited to have

6
00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:18.320
<v Speaker 1>a guest joined in the studio today, Stacey Koistre, Hello, sir,

7
00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:18.760
<v Speaker 1>how are you.

8
00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:20.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing well, John.

9
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:22.199
<v Speaker 1>I talked about all the time out and about but

10
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:23.640
<v Speaker 1>this is the first time we've had you, and this

11
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:26.440
<v Speaker 1>first time in the studio at the radio station everything,

12
00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:29.600
<v Speaker 1>so it is well an enlightening space. This is it's

13
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:32.320
<v Speaker 1>a fun place. Now another fun place, the South Dakota

14
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:36.240
<v Speaker 1>Military Heritage Alliance. I remember talking to you several months

15
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:38.719
<v Speaker 1>before this thing was even a thing, and you had

16
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:43.039
<v Speaker 1>this idea. And now it's not only a thing, it's there.

17
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:46.200
<v Speaker 1>It's been there for five going on six years. How

18
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:47.240
<v Speaker 1>amazing is.

19
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:50.719
<v Speaker 2>That it is? It is a huge blessing and it's

20
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:54.479
<v Speaker 2>exciting and hopefully it's a blessing to the community. And

21
00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:56.640
<v Speaker 2>we're very, very excited to be where we are so far.

22
00:00:56.840 --> 00:00:58.399
<v Speaker 1>And the thing that's nice. You got a fun event

23
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:02.039
<v Speaker 1>coming up November thirteenth, and this is a Night with Heroes,

24
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:05.359
<v Speaker 1>and let's talk about the event, because I think this

25
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:06.400
<v Speaker 1>is a really neat idea.

26
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:10.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, the Alliance has hosted a lot of events over

27
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:12.719
<v Speaker 2>the last five plus years for a lot of organizations,

28
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:16.799
<v Speaker 2>and that's the intent, right it's to particularly when it

29
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:19.000
<v Speaker 2>comes to our veteran organizations, is to uplift them and

30
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:21.959
<v Speaker 2>help them razor profile and help them to do well.

31
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:24.640
<v Speaker 2>But through that process, we've never really had an event

32
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:28.959
<v Speaker 2>for the Alliance itself. And so through some of the

33
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:33.200
<v Speaker 2>great ideas of people involved, particularly Craig Hagen and Chuck Nelson,

34
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:35.840
<v Speaker 2>they decided it's time for us to do one for

35
00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:36.400
<v Speaker 2>the Alliance.

36
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:39.239
<v Speaker 1>And the event again is called a Night with Heroes,

37
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:42.120
<v Speaker 1>and there's some special things happening that night, So let's

38
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:43.159
<v Speaker 1>talk about what that is.

39
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:47.359
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Yeah, So we are going to have a guest speaker,

40
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:49.920
<v Speaker 2>and that keynote speaker is going to be one of

41
00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:53.920
<v Speaker 2>America's living Medal of Honor recipients. Gentleman by the name

42
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:59.000
<v Speaker 2>of Clinton Romache lives in North Dakota actually and earned

43
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:03.200
<v Speaker 2>his Medal of Honor in Afghanistan, and he was kind

44
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:06.680
<v Speaker 2>enough to come over, come down, as it were, down

45
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:10.159
<v Speaker 2>to speak to our folks here and help us have

46
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:10.960
<v Speaker 2>a great event.

47
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:14.240
<v Speaker 1>And again is November thirteenth. We're going to talk about

48
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:15.840
<v Speaker 1>how you get tickets and all that here in a moment.

49
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:19.159
<v Speaker 1>But this is open to everybody. So if you served,

50
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:21.400
<v Speaker 1>that's wonderful and thank you for your service. But even

51
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:22.840
<v Speaker 1>if you didn't, you're still welcome at.

52
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:25.319
<v Speaker 2>This absolutely, and that's one of the messages we're trying

53
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:28.159
<v Speaker 2>to carry to the community is that the Alliance is

54
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:31.159
<v Speaker 2>for anyone and everyone. And the way I've described it

55
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:33.680
<v Speaker 2>over the years, it's really for three populations, which is

56
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:36.759
<v Speaker 2>for those who have served, those who are actively serving

57
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:40.439
<v Speaker 2>in those civilian patriots that we have within our community

58
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:40.960
<v Speaker 2>and our state.

59
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:42.960
<v Speaker 1>And the thing that's nice when you go there and

60
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:44.639
<v Speaker 1>have a drink, you go there and have a meil,

61
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:46.159
<v Speaker 1>you go there to use a gun range, you go

62
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:48.960
<v Speaker 1>there to host a meeting. When you're doing that and

63
00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:51.199
<v Speaker 1>you're spending money within the walls of the South Dakota

64
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:55.280
<v Speaker 1>Military Heritage Alliance, you're also helping veteran organizations, and you're

65
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:57.879
<v Speaker 1>helping the facility who helps veteran organizations.

66
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.759
<v Speaker 2>That is absolutely the intent. We are a nonprofit organization

67
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:04.439
<v Speaker 2>and we were founded upon that principle, not as a

68
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:08.719
<v Speaker 2>standalone veteran organization. There are many of them, and many,

69
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:12.400
<v Speaker 2>many wonderful ones. But the magic sauce in a way

70
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:15.639
<v Speaker 2>for this is that it was created with a unicorn

71
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:17.639
<v Speaker 2>of a facility. Yeah, and to say, hey, how can

72
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:21.680
<v Speaker 2>we employ this to uplift those organizations, help them preserve

73
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:25.080
<v Speaker 2>their identity, grow their identity in presence within the community,

74
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.759
<v Speaker 2>and as we develop, turn around and financially support them

75
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:31.759
<v Speaker 2>in kind through the facility itself, but also hopefully through

76
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:32.919
<v Speaker 2>actual dollars.

77
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:35.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Absolutely, And there, like you said, there's been a

78
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:37.280
<v Speaker 1>bunch of fun events that have happened over the last

79
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:40.199
<v Speaker 1>five plus years, concerts that have happened in there, and

80
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:42.599
<v Speaker 1>there's a comedy event that's coming up this Friday, so

81
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:44.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's all kinds of fun stuff that has happened.

82
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:47.400
<v Speaker 1>But this is the first time that the Alliance has

83
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:49.719
<v Speaker 1>put on an event for themselves. And again it's called

84
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:52.400
<v Speaker 1>a Night with Heroes. And if people would like to

85
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:54.080
<v Speaker 1>get tickets for this again, we're going to tell you

86
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:57.039
<v Speaker 1>how to do that, but it's open to everybody, and

87
00:03:57.400 --> 00:03:59.520
<v Speaker 1>this would be a really nice date night. This would

88
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:01.319
<v Speaker 1>be a really nice night to go out. And if

89
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:03.879
<v Speaker 1>you've never seen the facility, boy, what have you been

90
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:05.719
<v Speaker 1>waiting for? Come out? This would be a great night

91
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:08.719
<v Speaker 1>to do that. And again you said everybody's welcome, all

92
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:10.000
<v Speaker 1>ages welcome as well.

93
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:14.039
<v Speaker 2>All ages welcome, will certainly be family friendly, very patriotic obviously,

94
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:18.120
<v Speaker 2>and it's not just mister Romache that's going to be speaking.

95
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:20.879
<v Speaker 2>We're actually going to have South Dakota's first hail and

96
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:24.319
<v Speaker 2>farewell and for those who haven't served on active duty,

97
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:27.680
<v Speaker 2>hail and farewells where you welcome new members into the

98
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:30.480
<v Speaker 2>unit and then you farewell, so to speak, those who

99
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.439
<v Speaker 2>are leaving and thanking them for their service. And so

100
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:36.240
<v Speaker 2>what we are going to do is we're actually going

101
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:40.079
<v Speaker 2>to swear in new members of our military. We have

102
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:42.879
<v Speaker 2>a wonderful relationship with a local recruiting command, and so

103
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:46.920
<v Speaker 2>we're anybody who comes can watch young Americans raising their

104
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:49.800
<v Speaker 2>right hand and taking that oath. And then we're also

105
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:53.439
<v Speaker 2>hope to welcome home active duty members who are either

106
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:56.959
<v Speaker 2>retired and moving back to South Dakota or etsing meaning

107
00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:01.079
<v Speaker 2>it just separating having completed their obligation, or it's people

108
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:04.959
<v Speaker 2>who are relocating relocating to South Dakota, and we want

109
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:07.160
<v Speaker 2>them to know that we appreciate their service in that

110
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:10.279
<v Speaker 2>South Dakota loves and supports them.

111
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:12.319
<v Speaker 1>And this is one of those things where if you

112
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.279
<v Speaker 1>know somebody who you're looking for, people like for the

113
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:17.600
<v Speaker 1>last year, is that what it was? Yes, it has

114
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:19.639
<v Speaker 1>come home in the last year. We want to welcome

115
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:21.680
<v Speaker 1>them home, even though they're home already. We'd like to

116
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:22.439
<v Speaker 1>do something formal.

117
00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:26.199
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, and so we would ask if if that's you listening,

118
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:28.800
<v Speaker 2>and that's been you in the last year, you've returned

119
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:32.199
<v Speaker 2>back here, please come on down. We'd love to help

120
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:34.399
<v Speaker 2>arrange that. But also if you're a family member or

121
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:36.199
<v Speaker 2>a friend, or if you know someone who's done that.

122
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:38.920
<v Speaker 2>And I can speak from experience John as someone who

123
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:43.000
<v Speaker 2>has come home so to speak well from active duty,

124
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:47.360
<v Speaker 2>but also from a National Guard mobilization type scenario. The

125
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:50.800
<v Speaker 2>National Guard gets welcomed home, which is wonderful, our congressional delegation,

126
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:54.040
<v Speaker 2>our governor's commander in chief, and the mayor and community

127
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:56.199
<v Speaker 2>leaders come and welcome them. But when you come home

128
00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:00.720
<v Speaker 2>from active duty, you do so alone. So we recognize

129
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:02.879
<v Speaker 2>that as a as a board and as a community,

130
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:05.160
<v Speaker 2>and we want those folks to understand that they are

131
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:08.879
<v Speaker 2>just as appreciated and welcome here back in South Dakota.

132
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:10.360
<v Speaker 1>And this would be a great night if you know

133
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:13.040
<v Speaker 1>somebody that falls in that category that is home and

134
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:15.319
<v Speaker 1>maybe in the last year or so has come home,

135
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.519
<v Speaker 1>reach out through the South Dkota Military Heritage Alliance and

136
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:20.439
<v Speaker 1>then be a part of it. A Night with Heroes
