ST. GEORGE, Utah (ABC4) – Utah’s standing legacy, Colonel Gail Halverson AKA the “Candy Bomber” will be taking flight for the very last time, this Fourth of July weekend.
On July 3, in partnership with Dixie State University, United We Pledge, Balance of Nature and the KONY Country 4th of July Celebration, Halverson, at the age of 100, will board a helicopter and be flown over the Greater Zion Stadium, where he will drop candy.
Operation Underground Railroad (OUR) was set up by Tim Ballard who was appointed by the former president to an administration panel focused on tackling human trafficking.
Civil rights activist and Woodson Center founder Bob Woodson has lived through segregation and been a victim of racism. But he doesn t fit the Left s mold. In fact, he s providing an alternative narrative to their equity. With the Woodson Center and 1776 Unites, he is offering solutions that BLM rejects, but that are actually helping improve the lives of countless people trapped in poverty and inner-city violence. He goes through all of this and more in his latest book, Red, White, and Black: Rescuing American History from Revisionists and Race Hustlers. And he joins Glenn to make the case that the radical Left does not represent the majority of the black community. As leftist race-baiters make millions off branding the police as white supremacists while breaking the spirits of Americans of ALL races, Woodson calls out their moral treason, speaks truth to power, and denounces real racism for what it truly is: evil.
I’d never heard of Operation Underground Railroad when its founder, Tim Ballard, called me suddenly in the summer of 2014. A former Department of Homeland Security special agent, Ballard said OUR had a child-trafficking sting planned for the Dominican Republic and he wanted me to come along to document it.
Ballard explained the mission of the organization to me like this: Children in other countries were being trafficked. Local governments were overwhelmed or complicit. And the U.S. government was unwilling to jeopardize diplomatic relationships to rescue local underage victims. Ballard said he knew how to rescue these kids. He told me he’d been called to this work by God.
