Bart Womack
Author of EMBEDDED ENEMY

March 23, 2003 at Camp Pennsylvania, Kuwait - an American soldier, Sgt. Hasan Akbar does the unthinkable & throws hand grenades & shoots into the 101st Airborne's Chain of Command's tents of his fellow soldiers. The very first grenade falls into the tent of Command Sergeant Major Bart Womack.

Recipient of two Bronze Stars, one for Valor, instructor of both soldiers & U.S. Army Rangers, Bart also attained one of the highest honors in the Army, serving as Sergeant of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown soldier.

In this interview we discuss his 29 year career in the military, how God was watching over him that fateful night led to one of the purposes from the experience: to tell the story as both book & screenplay. We also discuss his experience in the film industry & his work at Syracuse University as Program Manager for Onward to Opportunity, a champion for professional training for veterans.

Robert Sisk
Former Rains County Judge & Commissioner
& one of Rains County's Oldest Veterans

What was it like helping his mother run the first telephone exchange in Rains County out of their home? What was it like as a student going to school in Rains County during the 1930s & 1940s? What was it like to be a County Judge & Commissioner during the era of massive change in both Emory & Rains County?

The answers to these and a lot more in this interview of one who not only grew up in Rains County, but after his service in the military, came back and helped shape our community. Stories galore on this interview, a real look at one who has a first hand experience of our past, what it was like working with an Apollo astronaut, and especially how Rains County has changed in almost 100 years.

Also, Bob is single handedly creating a museum for our community:

Rains County Historical Museum

which will be opening soon so all can see the history of Rains County and the City of Emory - and having seen a preview of what's in store - can tell you a tour of this facility is most enlightening...!
