___________________________________________________________  Dear Cash,Please find my favorite picture of my daughter, and my hero, Pvt. Poole, (soon to be Pfc) whom just turned 21, (October 22, 2006). She is stationed in Kuwait providing security in and around Iraq for convoys. She is currently assigned to the 89th Transportation Company. This was her first Birthday away from home, her family and her friends. She is our Hero! Please remember to keep her and all our troops in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks, Regina Vick | |||
___________________________________________________________ Prayer Request: Brad Wright Cash got a touching e-mail from Angela Wright about her brother, Brad. Brad was involved in a tragic accident in June, and he and his family need your prayers. Get the whole story. | |||
___________________________________________________________  Meet Brittany Hovies and Sgt. Joseph Bowden.Soldiers and their loved ones are heroes! Sgt Joe is going back to Iraq again (note all the medals). They became engaged, and Brittany called Cash and said Joe had forgotten about the Rascal Flatts tickets she asked him for (in all the engagement excitement). So Cash bought them a pair as a wedding gift and dropped them to her at Greater Birmingham Dodge, and got big smiles and hugs for his efforts! Pretty cool, Cash. Now you're somewhat of a hero yourself, to a couple of Hometown Heroes! | |||

___________________________________________________________  I met Chris Turley at the Talladega Relay for Life where he spoke about how the American Cancer Society helped him get through a tough time in his life and the many services that the charity offers. The guy perseveres and is driving short track now! Here's a link to his web page and a picture of him with Carl Edwards.Benjie | |||
___________________________________________________________  Our very own Jay Michaels (7pm-midnight) poses with his son, Chris, a genuine war hero who was nearly killed by an ambush of his humvee in Iraq. Fifteen of Chris' brothers-in-arms were killed in the attack, leaving Chris and a sole medic as the only survivors. Chris lost one of his legs in the explosion and suffered other traumatic injuries, but thanks to the efforts of that sole medic, as well as his own intestinal fortitude and strength of character, Chris endured. Take a good look at a real American hero, folks. That kind of courage and heart doesn't come along every day. | |||
___________________________________________________________  Our latest Hometown Hero, Emily Schreiber, is a 7th grader at Mountain Brook Middle School. Emily has Cystic Fibrosis and, as a swimmer, has raised over $375,000 for the CF Foundation. Wow. Just wow! Great going, Emily! Check out Emily's website to see how she does it, and how you can help! | |||
___________________________________________________________  WZZK's very own Jay Michaels paid a visit to the V.A. hospital to see some real American heroes. Jay's son Chris, a sergeant in the US Army, was seriously injured when his humvee was ambushed in Iraq, and himself is a hometown hero. So Jay has some pretty close ties to veterans, and we salute him and our veterans here as Hometown Heroes. | |||
___________________________________________________________  Cash with Rachel Behrman, the Development Director of "SafeHouse" in Pelham. Cash supports SafeHouse and reminds anyone in crisis that they can call 205-664-HELP. | |||
