Take a moment and watch the honorable Joseph “Joe” Atnip, retired Navy, who served 1975-1978 and was a Squad Leader of the US Presidential Honor Guard Drill Team aat the White House and has performed before domestic and foreign leaders, at Arlington National Cemetery and before numerous civic and community organizations. Mr. Atnip is a Vanderbilt University graduate where he received his law degree. He has served since 1990 as Public Defender in Obion and Weakley County, TN. He makes his home in Greenfield, Tennessee and shares his time with organizations such as the one he is performing for here at the Sharon Tennessee Senior Center. What makes what he does here even more incredible is that he is performing in ffront of 100 people in a tight room with a low ceiling. At age 63 years he is still “spot on” when he performs. God bless Joe Atnip’s patriotism! Thunderbolt Radio is proud to call him a friend and a “great American!”

For future reference: When asked by a fan why Perry Mason won every case, Burr told her, "But madam, you see only the cases I try on Saturday." Mason is known to have lost, in some form or manner, three cases—"The Case of the Terrified Typist", "The Case of the Witless Witness", and "The Case of the Deadly Verdict".🤔
