Born in Gladys, Virginia, Charles Haley attended William Campbell High School. There he played football throughout High School and won many accolades his Senior year, but unfortunately, he was not highly recruited. When James Madison University offered him, he accepted, as that was the only school at the time to offer. JMU took a chance on Haley because he was a great football player but he struggled badly with reading. While playing football and juggling school he eventually graduated and earned his diploma. From then on, he got drafted to the San Fransisco 49ers, won 2 Super Bowl rings, then got traded to the Dallas Cowboys and won 3 Super Bowl rings. During that time he also got married and started a family and had 4 children. In 2015 he got inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame. Going into college, Charles Haley was 3 grade reading levels behind. James Madison University saw the potential in Charles Haley and that is what inspired him to partner with Dallas Civic Leader, Bob Bowie and start Tackle Tomorrow in 2014, a non-profit organization that provides resources and support to students who struggle to read and write across Dallas, TX. On top of that the organization beautifies each of the 3 schools that they work with. Charles Haley has impacted and continues to change the lives of numerous students in the Dallas Independent School District with Tackle Tomorrow’s programs and mission.

Fundraising veteran Kit Sawers left the chief development officer role with United Way of Metropolitan Dallas in 2018 to help Dallas’ Klyde Warren Park bloom.

About 1.5 acres are planned to the west, with construction starting in 2021.
During World War II thousands of British cadets learned to fly at six civilian training schools across the southern United States. The first and largest of the schools was in Terrell, Texas. More than 2,200 Royal Air Force and United States Army Air Corps cadets earned their wings over North Texas between 1941 and 1945.
The museum celebrates this little-known chapter of World War II history with an archive that contains the most extensive record of the No. 1 British Flying Training Schools in existence.
The collection includes hundreds of historical items: log books, training materials, WWII memorabilia, uniforms, and much more. Perhaps more importantly, the museum explores many fascinating “personal stories” behind the artifacts. These stories will give you insight into the cadets’ backgrounds, their training, and the lives they led after leaving Terrell.
OUR MISSION
- To celebrate the spirit and sacrifices made by those men both British and American who trained to be pilots at the Number 1 British Flying Training School (1BFTS);
- To educate all ages of all nationalities as to the history and importance of the cooperation between the British Commonwealth and American Government in both war and peace;
- To honor the strong bonds of friendship formed between the cadets and the community of Terrell and the North Texas area.

Program Title: Teaching America-Freedom Foundation at Valley Forge
Speaker: David Harner
Bio: David Harmer is president and chief executive officer of Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge. To this role he brings a wealth of government, public-interest, and private-sector experience.
A graduate of Brigham Young University, Mr. Harmer was mentored through law school by former Solicitor General Rex Lee. Mr. Harmer began his legal career as counsel to a subcommittee of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, appointed by Senator Orrin Hatch. Taking his expertise in constitutional law to Pacific Legal Foundation, Mr. Harmer litigated in defense of personal and economic freedoms, particularly those recognized by the First and Fifth Amendments to the United States Constitution.
After serving as Bradley Resident Fellow at the Heritage Foundation, Mr. Harmer authored pro-freedom works published by major newspapers, law reviews, and think tanks, including the Cato Institute. His publications include op-eds, law review articles, policy analyses, and a book. He also served in leadership roles in various education-focused non-profit organizations, including Junior Achievement.
Private practice at the Los Angeles-based law firm of O’Melveny & Myers prepared Mr. Harmer to spend the heart of his career as regulatory-compliance counsel to major financial institutions including Providian Financial, Washington Mutual, JPMorgan Chase, and Ally Bank.
Following in the footsteps of his father, John Harmer (who served as lieutenant governor of California under Governor Ronald Reagan), David Harmer twice won his party’s nomination for the U.S. House of Representatives, turning purportedly uncompetitive San Francisco Bay Area districts into hotly contested battlegrounds.
Of his current role, Mr. Harmer says, “Leading Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge is the capstone of my career, the greatest honor of my professional life, and the single best way I can foster freedom.”
Mr. Harmer and his wife, Elayne, care about our country’s future for four particularly important reasons: Madison, Jonas, Ariel, and Ben—their children.
Todd Bensman is the author of the new book America’s Covert Border War: The Untold Story of the Nation’s Battle to Prevent Jihadist Infiltration (Posthill Press/Bombardier Books, February 23, 2021). He currently serves as the Texas-based Senior National Security Fellow for the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), a Washington, D.C. policy institute for which he writes, speaks, and grants media interviews about the nexus between immigration and national security. He frequently reports from the southern border, in Mexico and in Latin America. He has testified before Congress as an expert witness and regularly appears on radio and television outlets to discuss illegal immigration and border security matters. Separately, he has written about homeland security and terrorism subjects for Homeland Security Today, Townhall, The Federalist, the Investigative Project on Terrorism, SpyTalk, The Daily Wire, The National Pulse, The National Interest, and other publications. He serves as a Writing Fellow for the Middle East Forum and also teaches terrorism, intelligence analysis, and journalism as a university adjunct lecturer. (Sign up for his newsletter to receive alerts when new columns and reports publish.)
For nearly a decade prior to joining CIS in August 2018, Bensman led counterterrorism intelligence for the Texas Department of Public Safety’s Intelligence and Counterterrorism Division and its multi-agency fusion center. Before his homeland security service, Bensman was a journalist for 23 years, covering national security after 9/11 as a staff writer for major newspapers.
Intelligence Career
In 2009, Bensman left journalism to join the Texas Department of Public Safety as a senior counterterrorism programs specialist, analyst, and manager of an analytical unit. He designed and directed collection operations that fed the Intelligence Community, prompted or advanced FBI counterterrorism investigations, and produced confidential human sources.
He routinely briefed DPS leadership, elected leaders and members of Congress about domestic and international threats. Holding a DHS security clearance, Bensman worked frequently with FBI Joint Terrorism Task Forces, ICE and its Homeland Security Investigations, the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center, the National Targeting Center, DHS Intelligence & Analysis Division, and the National Counterterrorism Center.
Journalism Career
Prior to his government service, Bensman worked on staff for The Dallas Morning News, CBS, and Hearst Newspapers, covering the FBI, federal law enforcement and serving on investigative teams. He reported extensively on national security issues after 9/11 and worked in 25 countries. As an investigative projects reporter, he authored long-form stories with emphases on homeland security and counterterrorism efforts. His reporting on migration from Islamic countries and cross-border gun smuggling to cartels earned two National Press Club awards (2008 and 2009), an Inter-American Press Association award, and two Texas Institute of Letters awards. His reporting on corruption spurred numerous federal investigations, indictments and convictions.
During the early 1990s, he reported on the Gulf War, to include scud missile attacks and refugee issues, from Israel, Egypt and Jordan. He went on to cover Eastern Europe from Prague, to include armed conflict in Moldova, and spent a year covering warfare in Bosnia, where he provided frequent dispatches from the siege of Sarajevo at the height of hostilities.
Education
Bensman holds an M.A. in Security Studies from the Naval Postgraduate School, Center for Homeland Defense and Security (2015, Outstanding Thesis designee). He also holds an M.A. in Journalism from the University of Missouri School of Journalism (2009). He holds an undergraduate degree in journalism (with honors) from Northern Arizona University. In 2017, he completed a 350-hour State of Texas Command College leadership program sponsored by the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Robert Riggs is a Peabody Award-winning investigative reporter and content entrepreneur. He has received three coveted Alfred I. duPont Columbia University Journalism Awards for Investigative Reporting. The Peabody and duPont are respectively considered the broadcast TV equivalent of the Oscar and the Pulitzer.
Texas A&M University named Robert an Outstanding Alumnus from the College of Architecture in recognition of his journalistic accomplishments. It is a distinction received by fewer than 1% of the College’s graduates.
Riggs is the co-host and creator of the True Crime Reporter™ Podcast, and the SWAT Brothers Podcast.
Riggs’ stories impacted millions of people during thousands of hours of reporting on television and in online media. During some assignments, his reporting literally occurred under fire while he was embedded with the U.S. Army during the invasion of Iraq.
Among the three Alfred I. duPont Columbia Journalism Awards for Investigative Reporting, judges described his Gulf War report about the censorship of religious services for U.S. soldiers, “as the story every other news organization missed.”
Riggs journalistic ethos is to illuminate important public issues, right wrongs, speak truth to power, change flawed public policy, and in some cases save people from harm by violent criminals. Serial killers were caught and terrorist networks exposed. Corrupt public officials did time in federal prison behind his reporting.
Riggs is a member of the FBI’s North Texas Chapter of InfraGard which was formed in response to the 9/11 terror attacks. He is a longtime member of the Investigative Reporters & Editors (IRE). It is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving investigative reporting around the world.
