In December 2012, as part of his campaign to cover up the fact that he was never a U.S. Navy SEAL, Phillip D.

MERRITT ISLAND — brandt ronat + company (br+c), a

marketing–solutions firm, has delivered “The Space Report 2013:

An Authoritative Guide to Global Space Activity” for the Space

Foundation of Colorado Springs and Washington, D.C.

This is the seventh consecutive Space Report for which br+c has

provided the design development, including editorial–image

research, data visualization, and the additional creation of a digital

edition.

The 160–page printed and illustrated document, the associated

CD and the e–book versions were “all delivered on time” to premier

at the Space Foundation’s signature annual event, the National

Space Symposium, which was held in April. The local firm has

produced this academic report since 2006.

Printing and shipping was handled by Southeastern Printing, a

responsibility they’ve had since the 2009 edition.

“Due to its size and scope, late–breaking statistical inputs and

the need to deliver the publication for the National Space Sympo-

sium, The Space Report is a challenging project each year,” said Jay

Decator of brandt ronat + company. “But under the leadership of

the dedicated research team at Space Foundation, with peer

reviewers and other partners, including br+c, we’ve always

produced unique, stunning books that have only grown better and

more valuable with each edition.”

Up–to–the–minute and infused with graphs and exhibits, the

best imagery from 2012, and an outlook on the future, The Space

Report provides information valuable not only to those working in

the space/aerospace sector, but also to “every person around the

globe interested in technology and its applications.” The story of

space enterprise is about working on the edge of knowledge and

pushing it further; this book is for everyone who is engaged in

learning more, he said.

The Space Report puts a “quantitative and qualitative” face on

space activity around the world. This document is primarily

targeted to decision–makers, investors, entrepreneurs, government

agencies and military leaders in communications, finance, defense,

homeland security, earth observation, microgravity research,

launch, exploration, entertainment, and other activities — for

businesses “on the ground or on orbit.”

As in previous years, during legislative session a Space Founda-

tion team briefed legislators on Capitol Hill, “increasing the book’s

authority and influence.”

Space Foundation’s research and analysis team in D.C., is led by

Micah Walter–Range, director of research and analysis, The Space

Report program manager; and Mariel John Borowitz, The Space

Report project manager; with G. Ryan Faith and Andrea Frick

contributing.

To learn more about The Space Report 2013 or purchase a copy

of the book, go to thespacereport.org.

The local marketing–solutions firm is known for “creating brand

strategies and high–value message development, sustainable

communications and advertising systems for clients in space and

technology, cultural and nature tourism, health and wellness, the

financial–services industry, community infrastructure, real–estate

development, and retail.”

Its clients include Brevard Workforce, the Economic Develop-

ment Commission of Florida’s Space Coast, Community Credit

tee, Lawler Centre for Cosmetic Surgery, University of Central

BBN BREVARD BUSINESS NEWSFounders Forum program May 21 atMelbourne Hilton to feature ‘The HotSeat’ — business–pitching platform

The Founders Forum, the premier resource for

entrepreneurs in Brevard County, will host its final

program of the 2012–2013 “Red Hot Season” and the

organization’s latest signature event — “The Hot

Seat” — beginning at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, May 21, at

the Hilton Melbourne Rialto.

The Hot Seat is Brevard’s answer to similar

“business–pitching shows seen on television. It will

their business concepts to a group of successful

entrepreneurs, all in front of a live audience and all

with the real prospect of attracting investors.

The contestants will be pitching to a panel of five

successful local professionals: Tim Reynolds, Carol

Craig, Dan Rensing, Steve Thomas and Tim

Wakefield.

After hearing each contestant’s presentation,

these panelists will “grill” the individual on the

merits of their business concept. At the conclusion of

the presentations, the panel will determine which

contestant will win $1,000 in prize money.

The Hot–Seat contestants completed a “compre-

hensive pre–screening process before being selected.”

Four local, startup companies are scheduled to

appear as contestants. The identities of these

companies will not be released until the event.

Selected contestants will give a five–minute

presentation to the event’s panelists addressing a

number of questions. These will include: How do you

define your business model?

The May meeting is the fifth Founders Forum

gathering in the 2012–2013 series. Hayworth

Chaney & Thomas P.A., Pizza Gallery & Grill LLC,

and Wells Fargo Advisors are the sponsors for the

evening.

To register to attend the event, call 253–3300 or

visit FoundersForum.com. The fee is $35 in advance

and $40 at the door the evening of the program.

Founders Forum is a non–profit, non–member-

ship corporation dedicated to “fostering the success

of new and existing businesses by creating an

environment where entrepreneurs are motivated,

educated, and encouraged to exchange ideas and

information vital to business growth.”

Entrepreneur Monkress of All–Points Logistics keynote speaker forSBDC Veterans Conference Sept. 14 at King Center in Melbourne— to talk about new VA verification; open to business communityBy Ken Datzman

Area businessman Phil Monkress, who served his

country as a member of the U.S. Special Forces, will be the

keynote speaker for the Florida Small Business Develop-

ment Center’s 11th annual Veterans Business Conference.

He’ll speak on a timely topic — a newly enacted

verification process for businesses — that impacts

veteran–owned firms across the nation.

At the event, Monkress will be joined by a host of

government representatives and small–business advo-

cates, both locally and from around the state, who will talk

about the resources their individual offices make available

to assist veterans who are interested in entrepreneurship.

The group will include speakers from the U.S. Small

Business Administration, NASA’s Central Industry

Assistance Council, the Procurement Technical Assistance

Center, Patrick Air Force Base, Brevard Small Business

Assistance Council, and the Veterans Business Outreach

Center.

The conference is from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesday,

Sept. 14, at Brevard Community College’s Maxwell C.

King Center for the Performing Arts on North Wickham

Road in Melbourne.

The registration fee of $55 includes breakfast, lunch

and conference materials. Call 433–5570 or 433–5572 or

visit www.BrevardCC.edu/workforce to register for the

event. The conference features an exhibitor–display area

for businesses and organizations. Table–display space is

$105.

While the conference is designed to help military

veterans succeed in the world of entrepreneurship, current

and aspiring businessowners in the region are welcome to

attend, said Vicky Peake, director of Brevard Community

College’s Small Business Development Center on the

school’s Melbourne campus.

“We encourage the business community in general to

come for the networking opportunities. Perhaps, some

teaming and strategic alliances can be formed through

these contacts,” she said.

Monkress, a former U.S. Navy SEAL, is president and

chief executive officer of All–Points Logistics, based in

Titusville with operations in Atlanta, Ga., and Huntsville,

Ala.

The company provides technical and management–

support services to the U.S. government and its prime

contractors. All–Points Logistics is a Service–Disabled

Veteran, Native–American Owned, Small–Disadvantaged

Business.

“We are delighted to have Phil as our keynoter for the

conference,” said Peake. “I think his presentation will be of

interest to a lot of veterans and disabled veterans who

attend the conference. There is a new VA verification that

is going to be important to them in marketing their

business to government contractors.”

To further advocate for military veterans, the VA

recently announced that companies identifying themselves

as small businesses or veteran–owned businesses, in an

effort to gain priority for Department of Veterans Affairs

contracts, must now provide documentation verifying their

status within 90 days of receiving notice from the agency.

“The Veteran–Owned and Service–Disabled Veteran–

Owned distinctions are very important. These distinctions

are earned,” said Peake, whose office works closely with

veterans, helping guide them through startup ventures

while also reaching out to existing veteran–owned

businesses.

Monkress’ 8:45 a.m. presentation, set for the Black Box

Theater at the King Center, is titled “You’ve Earned It:

Making the Most of Veteran–Owned Business Verification,

the New Standard.”

One of the highlights of the conference will be a local

CEO panel addressing “The Future of Government

Contracting.” The discussion will be moderated by Joellen

Moore of IAP Worldwide Services in Cape Canaveral.

The panelists include Carol Craig of Craig Technolo-

gies, Rich Hall of Luke & Associates Inc., and Moses

Harvin of American Services Technology Inc. “We are

anxious to hear their opinions on this key topic, especially

as it pertains to Brevard County,” said Peake.

Following the government–contracting presentation, a

panel of speakers from around the state will inform

audience members about “Veteran Business Resources.”

Rob Pickett of BCC’s SBDC will moderate a panel

comprised of these small–business experts: Brent Peacock,

Veterans Business Outreach Center; Tom Gallman and

Robert Chaviarria, SBA, South Florida District; Tony

Espinosa, Brevard Workforce; and Ron Johnson, SBA,

North Florida District.

In his counseling role at the SBDC, Pickett, a former

banker who holds the Certified Business Analyst designa-

tion and recently completed a financial–management

course titled “Profit Mastery,” offers “one–on–one counsel-

ing for small–business owners” in a number of critical

areas that help foster growth.

Local businesswoman Joyce Wilden, owner of Buzz Biz

PR, has been invited to speak at the conference on

“Reconnection Marketing.”

“Government Contracting — The Prime Update” will be

led by Debbie Melvin of The Boeing Co. and will feature

panelists Maureen Bryant of Harris Corp., Moore of IAP

Worldwide Services, Alice O’Neal of Patrick Air Force Base

and Cheryl Smith of DRS Tactical.

A networking and refreshment break comes after the

Prime Update discussion. Mr. J’s Ice Cream & More, a

veteran–owned company, will be serving up its specialty

items outside the King Center. The business is owned by

Gregory Jones. “Greg has been a part of the conference for

years. Everyone always enjoys his ice cream and hotdogs,”

said Peake.

Two breakout sessions are scheduled at 1 p.m. “A Legal

Conversation Every Contractor Should Know” will feature

area attorney Ed Kinberg of Kinberg and Associates LLC

and businessman Gary Beckert of Beckert & Associates.

Beckert served in the U.S. Marine Corps.

Chaviarria of the SBA’s South Florida District will

present an “SBA 8(a) Update” in his breakout session. The

SBA recently completed the first comprehensive overhaul

of the 8(a) program in more than 10 years. It’s is the

government’s most popular small–business development

program.

Sponsors of the conference include Brevard Workforce,

Craig Technologies’ Machine and Tool Division, Harris

Corp., IAP Worldwide Services, “Florida Today,” Florida

Manufacturing Extension Partnership, Economic Develop-

ment Commission of Florida’s Space Coast, Veterans

Business Outreach Center, and the SBDC at BCC.

“Fortunately, we have been able to expand our sponsor-

ship reach in the community, which is great,” said Peake.

Vicky Peake is director of BCC’s Small Business DevelopmentCenter in Melbourne. Former banker Rob Pickett, a CertifiedBusiness Analyst, is a small–business counselor at the center. TheSBDC team will host its 11th annual Veterans Business Confer-ence Sept. 14 in the King Center Rotunda.

May 22, 2013 — Wednesday

Dear Children (Afghanistan, Baltimore, New York City, Melbourne),

The U.S. Supreme Court allows that to falsely proclaim oneself “U.S. Navy SEAL Team 4” is but a “mere résumé embellishment.”But as our Nation prepares for the May 27, 2013, day of remembrance for the men and women who died while serving in theUnited States Armed Forces, words from another time might help stay the resolve of those brave hearts that ache at the idea of“mere résumé embellishment.”When John (Jack) Ogden Carley died in 1962, many paid him tribute — Frank R. Ahlgren, editor of The Memphis CommercialAppeal; Buford Ellington, Governor of Tennessee; John L. McClellan, Arkansas Senator; Lt. Gen. W.K. Wilson, Chief of Engineers;J. Edgar Hoover, Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.For good cause The Commercial Appeal framed Jack as “one of the truly revered figures in southern journalism.” For 39 years hehad been a member of their staff and for 22 of those years he was Chief Editorial Writer.In the first of those 22 years, on June 3, 1940, The Memphis Commercial Appeal wrote of Jack Carley’s words:

“They lie who say that Democracy is decadent and that might shall triumph over right,” Jack Carley, editorialwriter for The Commercial Appeal, told several hundred persons gathered yesterday for a memorial service amid thewhite crosses over soldier dead in National Cemetery.

“Democracy yet remains the best national system devised and this Nation represents the greatest undertaking fordemocracy which could be conceived,” Mr. Carley added.

As an invocation, the Rev. C.C. Rooney of St. Peter’s Catholic Church, a veteran himself, recited the solemn andsonorous lines of Kipling’s “Recessional,” setting the tone of the occasion and leaving the audience quiet and receptive.

Mr. Carley’s address follows:“Mr. Commander, Comrades, Members of the Auxiliaries, to all free men and women present:“The hallowed soil on which we stand has been bought by those whose bodies rest within at bitter, sacrificial cost.“This is no place for platitudes. This is no time for tears. They who have died for country demand of us something

more than that.“Nothing we might say or do here could add one whit to their glory or detract from the sublimity of their sacrifice.

Their place is fixed in the history of this Nation for all time. They have been praised in poetry, and their deeds arerecounted in song.

“They do not need us here this afternoon but we, my friends, have dire need of them, need of their faith, theircourage, and their complete willingness to subordinate self to needs of country.

“Somewhere they live on, no longer earthbound to this selfish and insane world and their voices — if we choose tolisten — yet speak to us, aye they cry out to us not to betray them further.

“For they have been betrayed by us — betrayed by our blindnesses and our hypocrisies — betrayed through the factthat we have permitted those things for which they died to be threatened with destruction.

“They threw us a torch and unless we spring to the alert its flame will go out.“They get nothing out of our coming here this afternoon. We may get something out of it if we will. If we fail to do

that then this becomes a futile, blasphemous gesture. “No war veteran here can possibly misunderstand or fail to see the evil which is abroad. None can fail to view the

future with apprehension. There is no longer time for recrimination, no moment in which to wonder how or why wefailed. Our obligation is to build now so strongly that the evil winds which blow cannot destroy that which the deadwho lie here created — they and their comrades in hundreds of thousands of military and naval graves. …”

Of our own Soldier, it was written with words under the provisions of AR 600–45, 22 September 1943, as amended:“… assumed control and working without any of his own staff, with complete disregard for his own personal safety

and utter contempt for the enemy, organized all elements with stunning swiftness, cleaned out the opposition andestablished an effective defense of the area as a base for future operations, resulting in the expedient and successfulaccomplishment of the mission. … courage and devotion to duty, many times displayed, served as an inspiration to theofficers and men under his command, reflect great credit on himself and are in keeping with the highest traditions ofthe Armed Forces.”

Now, 70 years later, while so many values have changed, our Nation still finds Soldiers willing to “carry on the mission,” and trulyproclaim before God, “I am U.S. Navy SEAL Team 4.”

Love,Dad

RESPONSE 1: Wednesday, April 24, 2013 2:58 PMFrom: Robert C. Pickett, Director, CBA, CBCP CounselorSmall Business Development Center at BCCTo: Coyne, MildredCc: Christmas, Holly; Pfrimmer, SandySubject: 4/23/13 Brevard Business NewsMildred:

This is a heads up for what I would hope will notbecome a public issue, and on which I will work to resolvebefore we get a chance to talk next week. BBN ran this adin the most recent issue. It features a COPY of our

Veterans Conference ad from two years ago, with a footerwhich says, “To Be Continued…” To us, this is a not sosubtle notice that she has more to say on the topic.

Adrianne Roth, the Publisher of BBN, has a history ofairing her personal disputes in her newspaper, and due tothe position of the ad, I anticipate that she has somethingnegative to say about our speaker from two years ago, PhilMonkress. She has used BBN as a platform to speak abouther disagreements with Space Coast Business Magazineand FIT. It always contains some emotion about which thegeneral public probably just scratches its head andwonders what is really going on.

Ms. Roth has always been a friend of the SBDC, and I,together with Vicky, have had open and candid communi-cation for many years.

BACKGROUND:l Mr. Monkress has been a client of the SBDC and was

the keynote speaker at our 2011 Veterans Conference.l SUBSEQUENT to the 2011 Conference, someone in

the public questioned his claim to have been an actualNavy SEAL. He later retracted this claim and has askedfor various sponsors of web sites to remove references to it.We complied with his request, but Ms. Roth refused to doso, citing professional reasons.l The issue has been quiet for over a year until this

BBN issue landed on my desk.ACTION:l I have left a message with Ms. Roth and have asked

her to call me back.l The Veterans Conference represents about 75% of our

Program Income in a given year. My request to her wouldbe simply to leave us out of it as adverse press couldjeopardize our reputation and our relationship with ourmajor sponsors, including, Harris and IAP, to name a few.

I appreciate your wisdom and any guidance you mighthave to offer on this as well as communication with anyappropriate departments within BCC which might have astrategic interest.

2) Attachment:John:

Further to our conversation on the phone about theBBN and our relationship with Phil Monkress:

Our Center IC System has two records,l All Points Logistics.Speaker for our 9/17/11 Veterans Conferencel Chickasaw Nation Industries.3/19/04, Mailed a brochure on our New Venture course,11/6/07, Attended Doing Business with Patrick AFB

We circulated our desire to acquire a speaker to theBSBAC Committee of the Chamber in early 2011. TheBoeing Company suggested him as a speaker and hesubmitted his resume and credentials to us. There wasexplicit conversation prior to going to press about propersyntax when referring to a “Former Navy SEAL” with himand his office. Candidly, we took him at his word.

As I told Mildred in the original email on this topic,AFTER the 2011 Conference, someone had as ax to grindwith him and began publishing a blog about his recordlacking any credible SEAL documentation. (GOOGLE it!)We questioned him on this and he publicly retracted hisclaims and asked us to remove referenced to it on our website and our publications. We complied with this requestand have not heard anything from him or anyone elsesince that time until last week’s BBN, which referenced usobliquely.

Top 2 Google search hits for “Monkress SEAL”l http://thisainthell.us/blog/?p=30777 (negative)l http://www.veteranownedbusiness.com/blog/tag/phil–

monkress–ceo–all–point–logistics/ (silent)I have only had one member of the public ask me what,

“To be continued” might mean, but did not indicate thatthey took anything negative from it. In fact, she did notnotice the 2011 date on the announcement.

What’s the old quote about, “There’s nothing older thanyesterday’s news….?” Let’s hope so.RP

RESPONSE 3: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 11:54 AMFrom: Robert C. Pickett, Director, CBA, CBCP CounselorSmall Business Development Center at BCCTo: Coyne, Mildred; Glisch, JohnSubject: FW: BBN LetterMildred and John,

Here is the article in today’s BBN.(SEE BBN Vol. 31 No. 20 dated May 20, 2013)Our documentation from that period disputes the facts

stated in the letter. Sandy and Vicky went to great lengthsto clarify the proper method and syntax for publishing theSEAL credentials. Monkress might blame his “office” forthat communication, but we are well documented. Itirritates Sandy a little bit to be called a liar, but we are bigkids and will remain in silent mode on this topic as far asthe public is concerned.

Thanks for your support.RP
