The GreenZone Hero community founded by John  Krotec, says, 

We encourage every business in America to join GreenZone Hero ranks.  A GreenZone Hero “Veteran-Friendly” Business honours veterans and themselves.  They have a high standard of commitment to others AND to the US economy. They know it is the “right thing to do.”

Our Motivation

To create commerce for American businesses that honour and serve our veterans.  To build sustainable residual funding for our Nonprofit Ambassadors.

We Believe that appreciation and recognition and commerce matters!  The veterans who selflessly served our Country deserve it and the businesses that provide veteran friendly goods and services deserve it, too!

We serve those who serve by providing a platform for them to connect with one another.  GreenZone Hero provides tangible recognition and appreciation and commerce for both businesses and veterans – a place where veterans in particular and, all Americans in general, can find, select, and show their support by patronizing businesses that openly and proudly “do the right thing“!

We employ, serve, and are even a Veteran-owned company.

Be part of the GreenZone Hero movement.

TSM 17-21 Cary Allen Stone author of Through a Mother’s Eyes: A True Story

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Cary Allen Stone, on air from May 23rd 

Why Do Some Crimes Get Tons of Media Attention While Some Get No Coverage At All?

A chilling look at human nature in a context where the lines between right and wrong become sadly blurred. It’s a compelling account of one woman’s life, and what drove her to take the life of her six-year-old son. How everyday choices shape our perceptions, justifications, and actions. One must consider how close to the edge we all are. It’s a true story told in layman’s terms, with the hope of preventing another tragic loss.

My backstory is, I spent forty years inside the cockpits of corporate jets and airlines and because of my flying career, I believe I acquired a unique perspective on life. I was fortunate in 1992 to fly Ridley Scott on a location scout in the Caribbean islands.         We talked about writing and building an image with the words. He was an awesome mentor to a new author. I graduated from college with a Bachelor of Arts. I have been involved in feature films in Hollywood and Indie films in Phoenix. I’ve done voice-over radio commercials, and stand-up comedy. I’m a proud male member of the oldest women’s writers club––the Phoenix Writer’s Club, and a member of the International Thriller Writer’s. Bestselling authors Clive Cussler and Tim Dorsey endorsed my “Stealing Atlanta.” My five Jake Roberts Novels are Readers’ Favourite Five Stars in crime fiction and psychological thrillers.

C17-22b Byszantine Christianity & Homosexuality with Stephen Morris

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Stephen Morris, on air from May 30th

Were men joined in a “brotherhood,” like matrimony, by the Orthodox Church?

“Fearless in dealing with sensitive subjects, its pastoral conclusions are insightful and helpful for discussion of the subject within all Christian churches, not just Orthodox Christianity… Once I started reading, I couldn’t put it down,” writes Wendy Mayer of the Centre for Early Christian Studies (Australian Catholic University) one of the world’s leading authorities on John Chrysostom and co-author of John Chrysostom: The Cult of Saints and The Homilies of John Chrysostom — Provenance. Reshaping the Foundations.

She goes on to say, “Fearlessly and unprejudiciously delves into not just historical approaches to homosexuality, but a much wider range of sexual relations and unions within the Orthodox Christian past… engages the topic with objectivity, courage and grace; a timely book in light of the current debate about marriage equality.

“I found the book refreshing and courageous. It puts the status of homosexuality within the Byzantine tradition carefully in context. The suggestion that John Chrysostom’s stance was the result of personal experience of sexual abuse is novel and insightful. A sound piece of historical writing.”

LM 17-20 Joani Bye with her Song Shine Venture

“for the LOVE of Music” with Nathen Aswell and Joani Bye, on air from May 16th

Joani’s music career began with a TV series called Banjo Parlour, where she performed with her two sisters (as The Bye Sisters) while attending the Music Faculty of the University of British Columbia. After leaving academia, she worked in TV, theatre, the recording studio, and with live bands, playing in night clubs, at festivals and at corporate events.

As one of Vancouver’s top studio singers, Joani’s powerful voice has been heard on albums by some of the music industry’s most popular artists such as Cher, David Bowie, INXS and Bon Jovi (including the massive hit “Livin’ On A Prayer”), to name a few, as well as on countless commercial jingles.

Joani spent several years touring schools and concert venues with The Euphorics, a vocal quartet that won the respected Harmony Sweepstakes a cappella competition in San Francisco in 1999. Although her main live project now is the 12-piece powerhouse “The R&B Allstars”, she is regularly invited to be a featured guest with The Motown Meltdown, Ladies Sing the Blues, and the Sisters of Soul.

In May of 2016, Joani took a course to become a certified SongShine instructor and is enjoying teaching courses in vocal empowerment to people with compromised voices due to stroke, Parkinson’s, other neurological issues, and aging.
