They’re talking about not letting our fighting men and women in the military have or use tobacco products. Is this a great idea to make sure they stay healthy and inexpensive to take care of, or is it a slap in the face of people willing to die for our freedoms?

To My Morning Drive Listners Today, is my last day hosting the Morning Drive here at 640 WGST. I would like to thank you for listening and participating in the program, and for all the wonderful emails I have received wishing me well over the last few days. It has been a terrific experience diving into the news with you each day. My goal was to give you a snap shot of the important stories each day, ask good questions, and allow you to form your opinion on each one. I hope you have enjoyed the way I presented the news, as much as I have enjoyed bringing it to you.  I look forward to my next radio challenge, hopefully here in Atlanta sometime soon, God Bless, Randy Cook
