Hey guys, it's Jerry from Hillbilly Horror Stories and today I want to introduce you to a podcast by Shane Waters by the name of

Home Town History. It's a podcast that shares little known history from America's hometowns.

This is one of mine and Tracy's go-to podcasts whenever we're out on the road.

Not only is Shane a fantastic storyteller, but he's also a great all-around guy and that just makes it so much easier to listen to this or his other

podcast like its frightening and foul play. So give it a listen, go subscribe, I'm sure you're gonna love it.

There are just times when you need a great speech. These times are rare, but they exist. In most cases, the last thing you need is more words.

You usually need someone to get up and do something. Build something, pay for something.

But sometimes words are all you have. Sometimes nobody knows what to do, what to build, or who to pay.

You kind of look at the other people in the room and shrug and before you do anything else, you need to pause and wrap your head around the moment.

You need to get on the same page to take a breath of what it means to move forward.

We've all been in places where this was true.

Maybe it was a eulogy at a funeral. Maybe it was a toast or I have time speech during a football game.

But when you need a great speech, you really need a great speech. You need someone to get up and ring the bell like JFK did when the Soviet Union beat the United States to space in the 1960s with his We Choose to go to the moon speech.

We choose to go to the moon.

We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon and do the other things.

Not because they are easy, but because they are hard. Because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best.

Or like President Reagan did following the challenge or explosion in which seven American astronauts died on national television in a broadcast shown live in public schools throughout the country.

And I want to say something to the schoolchildren of America who are watching the live coverage of the shuttles take off.

I know it's hard to understand, but sometimes painful things like this happen.

It's all part of the process of exploration and discovery.

It's all part of taking a chance and expanding man's horizons.

The future doesn't belong to the faint hearted. It belongs to the brave.
