A historical review of the 1916 Preparedness Day bombing in San Francisco highlighted a different societal response to terrorism. Despite a suitcase bomb killing 10 people and injuring 40 on Market Street, the parade continued over the "broken bloody ground." The hosts contrasted this "onward" attitude with modern "shelter in place" protocols.
National Awareness Months, Prepper Month, Ham Radio
The hosts review various presidential proclamations for September, including National Wilderness Month, Childhood Obesity Awareness Month, and National Preparedness Month. They joke about the conflicting "awareness" campaigns and encourage listeners to get their ham radio licenses as part of being prepared for emergencies.
Presidential Proclamations, Memorial Day and Hurricane Preparedness
President Obama issued several proclamations, designating Memorial Day 2014 as a "Prayer for Peace" and announcing National Hurricane Preparedness Week. The hosts analyze the religious tone of the Memorial Day message and note NBC's Brian Williams reporting on the upcoming hurricane season despite previous forecast inaccuracies.
