Supporting our troops and YOU in 2012


Supporting Alternative Energy

Picture
Living in a fossil-fueled world we do need to look for clean alternatives. However, until a viable, clean, and renewable source is found we need oil.
Renewable energy is in it's infancy, but by not allowing research and development, we will continue to rely of the energy of the 1900's.





Supporting Our Troops

Jim continues to support our troops and their families, the fallen and the disabled.

Stand with Jim to help those that have stood us, and those that are still standing for us.



True American Spirit

On a recent business trip I had the most unbelievable experience that I must share. Typically on these trips the experience is overbooking, delays, gate changes, and crowds. However, this trip is one I am sure to never forget.

While awaiting a flight from Denver International Airport to Sacramento Airport, the gate agent made what I thought was going to be a normal announcement, "We board first by global services, first class, and elite flyers.” 

To my amazement, the agent instead said, "We at United Airlines have changed our boarding sequence. All uniformed military personnel will board first.” 

Proceeding, the gate agent started the boarding process stating,  "We are ready to board. We welcome all our uniformed personnel to board on the red carpet.”  

Out of the crowd timidly walked a U.S. Air Force Sergeant.  As he neared the front of the line, the crowd burst into applause.  America was showing their appreciation for his services.  This is the first time, in a long time, I have witnessed such support.     

After boarding, I was seated next to the Sergeant when suddenly a flight attendant approached the Sergeant and asked him to please come forward with her. I thought the pilot wished to express his gratitude before take-off. However, that wasn’t the case. 

Mr. Emilios Kokkinos ventured back and was now seated next to me in the Sergeant’s seat. Kokkinos changed from a comfortable first class seat to a crowded middle coach seat to show his appreciation for the Sergeant’s service to the country he’s come to love.

During the one and a half hour flight, Kokkinos and I chatted about his family in Saddle River, New Jersey. He told me how he was from Cypress and his wife's family was from Greece. As his eyes welled with emotions, he spoke of the opportunities and the freedoms we all have in this great country.  

The next time you see military personnel, think of and follow Kokkinos’ example. Take pride in our military and the sacrifices they make every day for our freedom.

Thank you, United Airlines, for showing your support for our men and women in the military and your new policy to board uniformed personnel before first class. 

Thank you, Mr. Emilios Kokkinos for standing up and sacrficing your comfort for our military serviceman. You do what others only think of doing. We all can learn from you and your passion for America. 

I am proud to say on this business trip, I witnessed what the true American spirt is all about.


Looking forward, Moving forward.
