CLIFFORD L. WAXLER

( A Brief Autobiography )

I Was 17 Years Old When I Enlisted In The Navy To Fight In Viet-Nam. My Dad Was A Great Patriot And A Colonel In The Air Force. I Had An Open Door To The Air Force Academy After High School, But The War In Viet-Nam Was Raging In 1965 And I Couldn't Wait To Join The Fight. Even Though I Was A Really Priveledged Kid, My Pals Were Dying Everyday, And I Couldn't Let Them Fight It Out Without Me.

I Flew Over 7000 Hours In Combat In Viet-Nam As An Aircrewman Aboard A "Lockheed P-3A Orion" Anti Submarine And Reconnaissance Aircraft. I Was Classified As An Aviation Electronics Technician, And I Was The Radioman On The Crew. We Ducked A Significant Number Of SAMS And Anti-Aircraft Fire And Lived To Tell About It, And Numerous Smugglars And Junk Captains Wish They Had Never Come Under Our Radar. My Combat Nickname And Radio Call Sign Was The " Juker ", And It Has Stuck With me Ever Since.

Now, I'm A 30 Year Old Trapped In A 59 Year Old Body. I've Been Flying Planes And Riding Bikes For 42 Years. Jesus Christ Revealed Himself To Me In 1969 And I'm Glad About That. I've Been In My Share Of Scrapes, But Generally Speaking I've Had A Really Great Life. I'm Part Owner Of A Mine In Mexico, And For The Past Ten Years I've Been A Professional Event Promotor. I've Put Together Some Terrific Boat Races, And Several Dynamite Concerts. After "9/11", I Decided To Channel My Efforts To Create "MILITARY AID",..... Modeled After Willie Nelson's "FARM AID".....I.E., Huge Concerts, Counseling Services, And A Grant Program.

On October 14, 15, & 16, 2004 Military Aid, Inc. Held It's First Annual Fundraising Event At The Houston Motorsports Park. The Event Was A Highly Publicised Motorcycle Rally Which Featured Charity Drag Racing, Professional Stunt Riders, The World's Largest BBQ Pit,  And Seven Incredible Texas Blues Bands.

       The Seeds For "MILITARY AID" And "M.A.M.A." Were Planted Long Before September 11, 2001. Since The Early Seventies I Have Been A Volunteer Evangelist And Counselor Ministering The Amazing Word Of God To Hurting And Broken Down Soldiers Who Have Fallen Through The Cracks In Homeless Shelters, Prisons, And Nursing Homes. It Dawned On Me Long Ago That We Need A Blue Collar Organization Like "MILITARY AID" To Reach Out With Love (Yes!..."Love") To Our Warriors While They Are Still On Active Duty, And To Better Prepare Them For Life On The Outside. Essentially We Plan To Help These Brave Men And Women Deal With The Pressures That War And Combat Place On Their Hearts. Our Programs Provide A Place To Turn To When The Fighting Ends, And A Way To Fit Into A World That Often Resents Their Actions, Or A Homeland So Hell Bent In Material Pursuits That It Seems To Ignore Them.!!!.....Soldiers Needing To Be Refreshed Turn To "MILITARY AID".
