I can’t wait to attend the book launch of Anthony Knopps’ “The No-Fail Mission: The Men and Women Behind the Presidential Service Badge II,” in September at the Army-Navy Club in Washington, DC. Judging by the first book, this 2nd addition should be great and another peak behind the levers of the greatest power on earth, The American Presidency.


Speaking of President’s, the book foreword was written by former President Bill Clinton, and it’s an officially licensed item for the America 250 celebration, which is the Congressional, non-partisan commission charged with overseeing the year-long celebration.


Chapter 9


Chapter nine is titled “we will just run them off the road”—The Todd McKinley Story.”


In it, you’ll read topics such as Saudi Arabia (where the chapter gets its name), a bit about growing up in Tennessee, the story of how I got selected to serve at the White House Communications Agency (WHCA)/ White House Military Office (WHMO), the first time I spoke to the President, especially the times speaking to President George H. W. Bush aka "41", and an honest to God story about the Boston Red Sox at old Yankee Stadium, a Donny Baseball/Jeter encounter just before batting practice as I was checking out the Secret Service Security Room & a Johnny Damon/Big Papi encounter in their dugout where I had to check on a Post Stander, and a bit about serving during public events such as the White House Easter Egg Roll, as well as coming up through the ranks.


The chapter honestly end with a tribute to my late best friend Brad Bush and ask the reader to purchase my book (link also below). Way to Be The One Mr. Knopps! Finally, I'm looking forward to interviewing Mr. Knopps on my weekly show, The Common Sense Conservatives.
