America’s Got Talent and National News
I was a contestant this year on Season 5 of America’s Got Talent. I past the Portland audition and made it to Vegas, but unfortunately my journey ended there.

On March 30th I was the subject of a story featured on NBC Nightly News

Hello Scott,
I saw you on Nightly News with Brian Williams tonight, and I thought they said you were from Canby, Oregon? Is that true? I used to live there when I was a little girl, and my grandfather was Mayor (Rex Eversole), when I was a baby. It’s wonderful that you spread some joy to those children overseas…I’m sure they appreciate it so much, we have so much here.
God Bless You!

I saw you tonight with Brian Williams. You are awesome. I am a 20-year Air Force veteran, now retired. My son-in-law is currently in Afghanistan with the Army. Every night, I watch the news to keep up with what is going on in Afghanistan. I was so pleasantly surprised tonight when I saw you on TV. You are a true American hero. Thank you for your service. You have gone above and beyond, and I, for one, greatly appreciate it! God Bless you and your family. Best wishes from a retired mom and grandma!

Hey Scott,
It was good to hear on the Nightly News with Brian Williams about a “neighbor” that uplifts our troops’ spirts and hurt children throughout the world. Blessings to you and your family!

Congratulations Scott!
WOW! A well deserved story on the most prestigious news program in the country. You deserve the praise and recognition, as do all of our military and their families. Thank you for all your kindness and humanity. You are a positive reflection on the magic community and we all appreciate the work you do, Onward and upward!

just watched NBC news…I would love to donate…he and I have the same emotions as far as helping children, and what a bonus to be delivered by our army…please tell me how.
Scott – Watched the segment on Nightly News and the show Live @ 7 – you are the stuff that makes us proud to be an American. Your service to our country is admirable in today’s society (I’m sure if you wanted you could have found a way out). And your love for your family and kids brought a tear to my eye also (I could not hide mine – just like you couldn’t either). Thanks for helping those less fortunate than us. God bless you and your family.
Scott,
I watched the segment on Nightly News. Thanks for helping those less fortunate than us. God bless you and your family.
Your Uncle Larry told me to watch you last night on tv. I grew up in Mt. Angel with him. The whole Anderson clan must be very proud of you and the joy you spread in the midst of war. Peace-George Ebner-Las Vegas,Nv.

Keep up the good work! We love you…
Hi Scott, I just happened to watch your appearance on NBC Nightly News. Truly inspirational story. I worked for your dad and remember him telling us about your travels and skill.
Thank you for everything you do…

Just saw you on America’s Got Talent…great job! I hope you remember me I was stationed at Camp Casey when you drove for LTC Crockett. I retired out of Ft. Lewis and am still in the area…would love to get together. Hope to talk to you soon.
Yes! Of course I remember you! You were the Ops Sgt for the PMO if I remember correctly. How have you been, hopefully retirement is treating you nice. I get up to Fort Lewis a few times a year to fly the simulators. I would love to get together next time I am up there.
