About The Book

Author Kyle Cozad, retired US Navy Rear Admiral and current President and CEO of the Naval Aviation Museum Foundation, tells his story following a service-related spinal cord injury while on active duty.

Insightful, honest, and frank, his account describes how he bounced back from a debilitating spinal cord injury with one overarching motivation: to “give back” and make a positive difference for others. His leadership as a senior Navy two-star admiral serving on active duty and his current role as President and CEO of the Naval Aviation Museum Foundation exemplify his grit, resilience, and commitment as a societal change agent.

GV22-47. Kevin M. Hallinan COUNTERTERRORISM


Our Global Veterans with Sara Towe Lieutenant Kevin M. Hallinan’s, on air from November 14th

Lieutenant Kevin M. Hallinan’s adventure-packed and insightful journey through the evolution of law enforcement, the rise of counterterrorism, and the birth of modern sports security.

From his hardscrabble NYC upbringing, through the NYPD ranks, to command of America’s first ever joint task force on terrorism alongside the FBI, Kevin M. Hallinan lived a lot of history. From beat cop to detective, Hallinan maneuvered through some of America’s most volatile decades and saw from the inside the tenuous gray line between law and order. The job proved to be extremely isolating. And it was almost always hair-trigger.

Early in his career, Hallinan became embroiled in deadly mob cases, which pulled him under the scrutiny of the feared and historic Knapp Commission on police corruption. In extreme danger and under pressure, he persevered and kept his integrity intact. Higher-ups took notice and brought him into the chief of detectives’ office where he helped reorganize robbery squads and create innovative and responsive new police initiatives. One such effort helped bring awareness and sensitivity to sexual assault investigations and contributed to the creation of the revolutionary Special Victims Unit. And that was only the beginning.

As the 80s unfolded and deadly attacks on police, diplomatic missions, and corporate targets escalated throughout the city, Hallinan relied on the mentoring of a growing network of law enforcement notables. It was compiling this amazing human network that made him the perfect choice to help pull together and lead the pioneering FBI/NYPD Joint Terrorism Task Force. The JTTF, as it came to be known, would go on to create many of the counterterrorism tools and tactics that keep America safe to this very day. After retiring from law enforcement, Hallinan began a new chapter as Executive Director of Security and Facilities Management for Major League Baseball.

His fascinating inside look at a life in law enforcement spans layers of history, explores evolutions in national security, and features game-changing heroes and eye-opening innovations. Kevin M. Hallinan’s life and learning are at once informative, thrilling, entertaining—and perhaps most of all, truly inspiring.

 Kevin M. Hallinan is known as an innovative leader in professional sports security and operations. Serving under four commissioners as SVP of Security and Facility Management, Hallinan oversaw security for all thirty Major League Baseball Clubs, creating revolutionary new systems to better protect the game and its players.

Prior to MLB, Hallinan was commander of the FBI/NYPD Joint Terrorism TaskForce, where he was recognized for his contributions in the war on terrorism. He testified before the U.S. Congress on domestic terrorism and received numerous NYPD/FBI citations and the U.S. Attorney General Award for Exceptional Public Service.

Hallinan earned his collegiate degree at Fordham University and attended the FBI National Academy.

GV22-40-45. Major Scott A. Huesing, Save the Brave.


Our Global Veterans with Sara Troy and her guest Major Scott Huesing, on air from November 1st

SCOTT DID A GV22-40-45. Major Scott A. Huesing, Save the Brave.MOTORCYCLE RIDE FROM CALIFORNIA TO FLORIDA…TO RAISE AWARENESS FOR VETERAN SUICIDEITS TIME TO SAVE THE BRAVE!

Major Scott A. Huesing USMC (Ret), the Bestselling Author of Echo in Ramadi rode his Harley Davidson motorcycle across the country (3,000 mi) again this year for Save the Brave (STB) to raise awareness for Veteran Suicide. Huesing (51), the Executive Director of Save the Brave (501c3) began this ride in 2020 to honor his high school friend and veteran, David W. White (aged 48), who died from alcohol poisoning on Sunday, June 7, 2020, in Butte, Montana. Huesing will ride from Biggs Harley Davidson in San Marcos, California to Peterson’s Harley Davidson South in Cutler Bay, Florida, south of Miami, FL. 

Along the way, Huesing will make several stops to ask supporters to donate to STB and ride along with him on his journey to raise awareness for veteran suicide – emphasizing that these are not statistics anymore, they are friends and sons and brothers that we all know. He was joined by fellow veterans and riders from every state he passes through amidst the heat of July. Their goal – $50,000.00. 

When asked, “Why did you pick July to make this ride?” Huesing responded, “I didn’t pick the month – the month picked me. If nothing else, it’s a reminder to everyone who joins me along the way that maybe we need to suffer a little bit to be reminded exactly why we are riding.” Veterans dealing with depression, alcohol abuse, and PTSD are especially impacted by the isolation this pandemic has caused in many cases.

GV22-27. BETRAYED BY THEIR GOVERNMENT! Major Fred Galvin

Our Global Veteran with Sara Troy and her guest Major Fred Galvin (USMC-Ret), on air from July 4th

A Few Bad Men is the incredible true story of an elite team of U.S. Marines set up to take the fall for Afghanistan war crimes they did not commit—and their leader who fought for the redemption of his men.

Ambushed in Afghanistan and betrayed by their own leaders—these elite Marines fought for their lives again, back home.

A cross between A Few Good Men and American Sniper, this is the true story of an elite Marine special operations unit bombed by an IED and shot at during an Afghanistan ambush. The Marine Commandos were falsely accused of gunning down innocent Afghan civilians following the ambush. The unit’s leader, Maj. Fred Galvin, was summarily relieved of duty and his unit was booted from the combat zone. They were condemned by everyone, from the Afghan president to American generals. When Fox Company returned to America, Galvin and his captain were the targets of the first Court of Inquiry in the Marines in fifty years.

Fred Galvin served for over 26 years as a enlisted and Marine Corps officer including assignments in the infantry, reconnaissance, force reconnaissance and Marine Special Operations Command (MARSOC/Marine Raiders). He led hundreds of combat missions including raids, deep reconnaissance, ship seizures, and ambush operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and in the Arabian Gulf, Gulf of Oman and Gulf of Aden. The Marine Corps selected Galvin to command the first Marine Special Operations Task Force to deploy to combat. While conducting a combat mission in Afghanistan, Galvin and six other Marines were falsely accused of war crimes which led to the longest trial in Marine Corps history that led an acquittal.

Giving is not just about making a donation. It is about making a difference.

We are currently in the process of building a kennel system so that we can begin breeding our beautiful golden retriever support dogs. We have been doing all of this plus everything you see on our website out of our own pockets. When we do charge for say some of the classes, we do it for what we pay for the materials. Here soon we will have to take on the expenses of more vet bills, dog food, and so much more. Michael knows first hand how impactful a dog can be, being a Vet who has his own P.S.T.D. he used to wake up with shadows coming through the walls cause him to go for his gun, now with a dog sleeping with him, he no longer has those nightmares.

A dog can sense the pain, anguish, the anxiety the health needs and the fear and more, and with their undying love, they are there for us in a way like no one else can be, so support Michael with his program to get dogs to those in need so they can help those with life challenges navigate life more easily.
