As I said in my last post, the My Real Life Tour is a community event. During the course of the week that the tour is in town events include shows and patient visits at local hospitals like this one in Columbus, NE.
Patients, staff and volunteers are invited to attend and they enjoy a show which really helps brighten their day. So besides working with young people and the military you’ll find Michael visiting the media and all kinds of people. This effort is about more than just trying to get people to support our military. It’s also about re-building pride in our country and values that matter. I think that more companies should consider becoming involved like New Holland has. I’m sure that you can contact Michael for more information if you’re interested.

When the Michael Peterson, My Real Life Tour, comes to town it’s not just a high school program. It’s really a community event. Well in advance a group of local volunteers or “circle of influence” people are solicited to help put together numerous local events, including school programs, press conferences, hospital visits and other types of events.
Since the Army is the major sponsor of the Michael Peterson, My Real Life Tour – Strong for America, they need some recognition. These guys were watching the show in Columbus, NE last night.
Another part of the audience at the schools where My Real Life Tour stops is the faculty. As you can see, they get into it too.
When it comes to gauging how well students receive the My Real Life Tour message it’s best to hear it from them. The auditorium was packed at yesterday’s event, including the upper level seating.

Our friend and colleague Lee McCoy passed away early this morning in the arms of his sweet and courageous wife Aurora. She wrote us this morning to say that Lee “rode away on Chariots and White horses to meet the Morning Star.”
On today’s My Real Life Tour we stopped in Columbus, NE at the American Legion for lunch and they made Michael this great cake. A group of members escorted us into town on their motorcycles and there will be pictures in the photo album later.
