My podcasts and articles can be found on karenbschoen.com
Former candidate for Florida House, former teacher and business owner. I reviewed and helped revise the civics curricula for FL. My life and work experiences have given me an in-depth understanding of education and its effect on our students, economy, and country. My focus as an educator is connecting the dots, writing and sharing my experiences as the relate to current culture and policy. My business experiences in marketing brought me to multiple industries like telecommunication, insurance, real estate, mortgages, financial, fashion, Wall Street and Main Street.
I learned that everything is connected. Nothing is random. Everything has a plan. All plans are based on lies. I believe that applying knowledge is power. You can be a champion or a victim; you can not be both. Ask yourself: Is America worth saving? If yes, then what will you do to help save the republic? Doing nothing is affirmation.

We The Kids” is a remarkable organization dedicated to reviving the Constitution and American history for both children and adults. Their mission is to bring God back into America’s story, offering engaging adventures that educate and inspire young minds. WE THE KIDS In today’s world, where negativity often overshadows positivity, it’s crucial to provide our children with platforms that are both fun and creative. “We The Kids” offers such a platform, encouraging children across America to become journalists and news anchors. This initiative not only equips them with valuable skills but also instills a sense of purpose and direction. Personally, I have faced numerous challenges, including a distressing custody battle where, despite societal prejudices, I was awarded custody of my son. As a disabled veteran and a Black man in America, I have encountered discrimination for wanting to raise my child the right way. However, my commitment to involving my son in programs that benefit not only him but also his community and country remains unwavering. As the founder of several ventures, I wholeheartedly support “We The Kids” and am actively exploring ways to promote and expand their reach globally. I believe that by integrating such impactful programs into our children’s lives, we can guide them towards becoming responsible citizens and future leaders. I am also excited to include my experiences and the influence of “We The Kids” in my forthcoming book, hoping to inspire others to join this noble cause. For more information about “We The Kids” and their initiatives, please visit their website: www.wethekids.us WE THE KIDS Together, let’s empower our children to embrace their heritage, learn valuable skills, and contribute positively to society.

Roger Morningstar is a dedicated advocate for educating American youth on the foundational principles of their nation. As a proud member of the We the Kids organization, he is committed to developing programs that inform young citizens about the guaranteed freedoms and securities enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. He views these documents not merely as historical texts, but as sacred assurances of foundational liberties.
With nearly three decades of public service, Roger brings a wealth of experience to his endeavors. His career spans military service in both the Air Force and Army National Guard, as well as extensive involvement in various facets of law enforcement, including professional security, military policing, corrections, and general policing. This diverse background has given him a deep understanding of the challenges faced by patriotic Americans.

Roger is a proud Constitutional Coach, having received training through both the Patriot Academy and the Institute on the Constitution. These affiliations inspired him to establish a successful youth constitutional after-school program, which ran for five years and was well-attended.

CITATION:
The President of the United States of America takes pride in presenting the Bronze Star Medal with Combat “V” (Posthumously) to Gunnery Sergeant Aaron M. Kenefick, United States Marine Corps, for heroic achievement in connection with combat operations against the enemy while serving as an Staff Noncommissioned Officer Advisor-Mentor, 1st Kandak, 2d Brigade, 201st Corps, Afghan National Army, Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan in support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM, on 8 September 2009. Gunnery Sergeant Kenefick was a member of a combined Marine and Afghan patrol that led the way into Ganjgal village to visit with village elders. As the patrol entered the village it was ambushed. Gunnery Sergeant Kenefick took cover near a retaining wall and returned fire. When the team leader directed his Marines and the Afghan soldiers to attack and seize the house from which they were receiving fire, Gunnery Sergeant Kenefick boldly led the Afghan soldiers forward under fire and cleared the house. The enemy then attempted to encircle the team’s position while subjecting the team to a hail of machine gun and rocket fire. Despite being pinned down, Gunnery Sergeant Kenefick returned fire and called in supporting artillery and mortar fire before falling mortally wounded. Gunnery Sergeant Kenefick fought with bravery and determination while demonstrating unwavering courage in the face of the enemy. By his zealous initiative, courageous actions and exceptional dedication to duty, Gunnery Sergeant Kenefick reflected great credit upon himself and the Marine Corps and upheld the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service. (Gunnery Sergeant Kenefick is authorized the Combat “V”.)
