Radio Talk Show Host Fights Hard For Mission to Afghanistan

Most people would be happy to stay as far away from Afghanistan as possible. Especially when we’re talking about areas outside Kabul.

Not so for Talking With Heroes talk show host, Bob Calvert. Calvert has been asked by National Guard soldiers in Kosovo and Ft. Carson Army 4BCT 4ID soldiers in Afghanistan to visit them and document their progress before they all come home in a few months. Of course, he said yes!

Calvert, who for the past five years has dedicated every waking minute of his life to supporting the troops, found sponsors that would make the mission possible. Finding those sponsors took a whole year and there were several false starts.

After completing three previous missions to Iraq, Calvert understands how much organizing is needed to make it happen.

The plan was for Calvert and a cameraman to visit Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan in one sweep, documenting as much as humanly possible in four weeks, and then creating TV and web documentaries. One previous mission, with Jim Martin, CEO of Altitude Sports and Entertainment, was shown on Altitude TV.

This time, at the last minute, two thirds of the funding fell through.

Calvert, besides being a talk radio host, is a machine! Almost nothing stops him, and when something does, he sees it as a bump in the road, a little challenge to be overcome.

So now, he is on a different course to make this mission possible.

When NewsBlaze asked him what drives him to do this, he said “The troops asked me to come document the amazing progress they have made, because the mainstream media hasn’t been doing it. I promised I would, so I can’t turn around now and tell them I can’t make it … I have to find a way, because it is important to them – and to all Americans.”

All that is needed to make this mission happen is the support of a few companies like Canon USA to provide a camera, Hewlett Packard or Dell to provide a laptop, United Airlines or Delta to provide tickets, and 1,000 people to donate $10 and it will be done.

NewsBlaze created a short video interview with Calvert, to explain the need, and he embedded the video in his website.

Bob Calvert is a man on a mission to support the troops, with an unstoppable positive attitude that keeps him going, no matter what.

So if you read this far, you know what to do now. First, watch the video at TalkingWithHeroes.com, click through to youtube, rate it and make a comment, then if you can, make a donation to help him get there and support the troops.
