TESTIMONIALS
Everyone, That was quite a day yesterday, wasn’t it? I know I will never forget it. I trust that Col. Bright’s words will help carry you as we forge ahead with our mission. To help remind you of some of them, I attach two Warrior photos for your enjoyment and remembrance of his – and your -- time together here at Reznick Group.
Thank you, Col. Bright. We all will profit from your visit yesterday, and in the future, when we schedule your talk on Gen Y. (Everyone, save these photos for autographs later in May.)
Natalie, please make sure these are placed on the Wall of Honor in our War Room.
Thank you,

Col. Bright,
I would like to thank you for coming and speaking to us today. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you and listening to your stories. Your words were encouraging to me and I will forever remember your core values. Thank you for your service to our country and I look forward to hopefully hearing one of your lectures in the future.
Thank you,

Col Bright,
I just wanted to send a quick thank you for coming to visit our group today. It was so nice to meet you, and I must say that your stories were very entertaining (especially after a long morning of ‘crunching numbers’). I also really appreciate you giving me the medallion. I have placed it on my desk as a reminder of the things that are also most important to me. Lastly, I want to thank you for serving our county. As a member of a four generation family that has served in the Army and Navy during WWI, WWII, the Korean War, Vietnam, Desert Storm, and now Iraq, I cannot express how much it means to me to have people like you (and the members of my family) ready to fight to defend our country. Thanks again for coming, and I do hope that you are able to come back to speak with us on the Generation Y effect.

Merry Christmas, Bruce,
Thank you so much for coming to our 21st Annual Bench & Bar Conference. I have heard nothing but rave reviews regarding your presentation and am very pleased that you have made so many contacts as a result of the Conference.
Your thoughtful presentation to Justice Maddox was very appreciated by all in attendance and the Justice and his wife could not have been more pleased. We thank you for your critique of the Conference and appreciate the gracious manner with which you handled the time constraints placed upon you. Your suggestions are valuable to us and will be referred to when planning future conferences.
May this Holiday Season be filled with memorable activities with family and friends and peace and prosperity for the New Year.

Greetings, Bruce. Good to hear from you. Thanks again for your talk at the Bench and Bar conference - it was entertaining and direct, addressing many issues people need to hear.
God's peace and grace to you and yours, especially during this Advent and Christmas season.

Col. Bright:
Thank you for your presentation at the Civil Air Patrol banquet. Your message has been the talk of my 14-year old for a while.
Two questions:
Where can I get the model of the FA 18 you showed in the power point?
What were the books you had in your reading list?
Thanks
David

Bruce,
The boys are still talking about that “Marine general” who spoke to us. It gives us as teachers, all kinds of ammo to build on. Many thanks.
Glad to hear that you made it back safely. We’ll have to schedule you for June or July sometime so you can see the ranch in all of it’s Wisconsin summer beauty. Or better yet, in the fall to see a Packer game!
Blessings,
Dan
Hi Bruce,
Thanks so much for challenging all of us at Rawhide with what you shared in Str8Up this past Friday. Guys and staff were equally impacted by your words of wisdom. Please consider yourself to have an open invitation to speak anytime that you are in the area. Several of the boys have already asked me when you are coming again. You owe it to your wife to come back when it’s a little warmer! It is up to the teens today – a Wisconsin winter heat wave!
Blessings,
Dan
Colonel Bright,
OUTSTANDING…. I cannot tell you how very appreciated and respected you are ---- what an impression you made on all of us, etc etc. etc. God bless you this Christmastide. Your presence will probably guarantee a full house based on wherever we book it in Birmingham. I will let you know the first part of the year. Best, Ed

Lt. Colonel Bright:
I just wanted to say thank you again for speaking at our Sales Symposium last week. I am particularly grateful for the coin I received from you. It is a gift that I will cherish forever. Your presentation was the highlight of our meeting. Thanks again for sharing such profound sentiments in a very direct and hard hitting manner. Again we are very grateful you came.
I also wanted to share some of the comments from attendees. Of course, these are only a few:
"The Marine was exceptional"
"I could have listened to Colonel Bright for several hour’s, I wished he could have spoken longer"
"Colonel Bright really hit home with me"
"Bright was Incredible"

Colonel, a 5-star thank you for a truly outstanding presentation at our Annual Meeting. Those few folks who had never seen a real Marine up close were appropriately impressed.
I attended a breakfast meeting on Saturday morning, and the 5 other lawyers at my table were still talking about you.
Hope you will do it again sometime!
Don’t forget, you will be approved for CLE credit if you ever want to talk to any more lawyers. Thanks so much, AP

Good morning LtCol. Bright,
I really enjoyed hearing your presentation this morning. As an XY’er, I found your insights to be right on point. I am writing to get a list of suggested reading from you. I have read Who Moved My Cheese, and I am now reading The Art of War. Any suggestions you make would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Dear Bruce,
Your presentation to the Alabama Association for Justice on June 20 was: Spectacular! Inspiring! Life-changing! Good job, I loved it.
I talked with you after the presentation and you said you have a copy of the presentation on DVD or tape (hopefully it’s the full length version). I would like to show my in-laws and wife.
Can you tell me how I can obtain your presentation? Are you giving the full length presentation LIVE anytime soon? I live in Tuscaloosa.
God bless and have a great day. My cell is: 502-299-xxxx.

Great speaker! Bright has many pratical lessons that can be applied by anyone!
Very down to earth and logical. - John Tschudin
I thought this was going to be another ex-military speech, boy was I wrong! Pilot Bright rocked the house! He was very informative and his presentation was not the, "same OLD ex-military speech". -CJ Rainer
PILOT BRIGHT IS AN AMAZING MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER. HE GETS HIS POINTS ACROSS IN A VERY ENTERTAINING MANNER THAT KEEPS EVERYONE'S INTEREST AND MAKES THEM LAUGH. HE IS A VERY INFORMATIVE AND ENJOYABLE SPEAKER THAT I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR AGAIN.
Positive Energy Delivered!
Pilot Bright helped me to re-think a lot of things I had given up on. Hopefully it will haelp me at both home and work, pesonally and professionaly. Thank You sir for allowing me to open my mind once again. Steven Macaione

As a former Navy enlisted man and a vast family history of military service, I would like to thank Pilot Bright for his service and tell him that I really enjoyed the training! Cobey Everett Senior Superintendent Doster Construction Co. INC.
I thought Pilot Bright was entertaining as well as motivational, high energy. Evonne Lakey- Doster Construction Co Inc.
Many times guest speakers can be generic and mundain. The energy that Bruce brings to the room and the respect he commands keeps the entire room's attention and everyone on their toes throughout the entire presentation. It was a joy to hear someone speak from the heart about how to live a meaningful and respectable life. - Matt Laitinen - Nashville, TN
Positive, upbeat presentation with forthright constructive criticism is rare today. Pilot Bright combined both in an attention getting presentation. Charlotte Powell
“When will you be available to coach my husband?" Pilot Bright has a way of motivating you in all aspects of life; he understands that an individual’s professional life is directly impacted by their personal relationships. Jennifer Mitchell
I thoroughly enjoyed the training. It was a perfect combination of humor and seriousness. He kept my attention 100% of the time and got a lot out of his speaking. My favorite part was the breaking of the boards at the end. Very powerful!
When Pilot Bright talked about putting God first in his life, then family, then his work it made me realize that he was so correct. If God is in control of your life what better Pilot could you have! If God is your Pilot all other things fall into place and you are a better Man,Woman, Father, Mother, Employee, Employer! Laura Wellborn Doster Construction
Bruce brings strong family core values to his presentation that is done with energy, enthusiasm and makes it relevant to the business world. I enjoyed his sincere passion for integrity. Sincerly, Brian Thomas Regional General Superintendent Doster Construction
One of the most outstanding and motivational speakers i have ever had the priviledge to listen to. Given the opportunity i would go listen again and again, regardless if it was company time or not. Let me konw if you when you will be back in the Birmingham area as I would love to hear you again. Thanks for Everything. Mason Petty
I learned a lot about myself and had the opportunity to re-evaluate my perspective. It is a relief to now have a positive outlook on life!
I was very impressed with the way that Pilot Bright was able to keep everyone energized and focused during his entire presentation.
