Great job capturing this story for your audience, Keith. THIS is a story that needs to be passed on to others...

I saw an interview of him shortly after the event. Glad he’s still with us!

Praise GOD for this man. GOD BLESS YOU!! Love the last part, my wife always asks me how was safety duty after church and I’ve always said, “ it was boring, it was a good day. “

Great interview, not just for the story, but lots of takeaways and lessons learned for me and my team.

I have nothing but the greatest respect for Mr. Willeford and for you also Mt Graves. I was thinking hard about your wonderful, God sent organization earlier today. I wish I could send your information out to every pastor I know. This particular incident has always been of special interest and concern to me. I am still furious at the LACK of news coverage it received back then. I attribute that to biased liberal, leftist news reporting. I say that because the very first report I heard was a "breaking news report". Followed up by a second report several minutes later and a brief commentary which indicated that the shooter had Islamic ties. The news team had, as usual, quickly checked into some background information about the shooter. Well...that bit of information was "squelched". The next report and all reports afterward did not mention that it at all. I also was very disturbed by the fact that incident did not receive more continuous news coverage than it did. This was a monumental, horrific crime, yet the press seemed to "dismiss" the story after the first day. Christian and Jewish individuals must wake up to the fact that the dynamics in this nation have changed...for the worse, and they changed many years ago! I always like to refer to the pre-Holocaust period in Nazi Germany. There are many lessons to learn from that time. Conditions favorable to the mass murder of millions of individuals did not start overnight. I will not say more. Mr. Graves you are providing a valuable essential service. I also call it a ministry. God bless you.
