David Norman has worn three uniforms—Navy, Air Force, and Marine—serving as an anesthesiologist and senior medical officer. From landing in the Philippines during an active coup to witnessing the 1991 eruption of Mt. Pinatubo, and later serving in one of the hottest zones of the Iraq War in Fallujah, Dave has seen the realities of war up close.

Dave carries one of the strongest faiths I’ve ever encountered, helping him endure and overcome everything he’s lived through.

In this episode, hear from someone who was actually there—why the U.S. actually went to Iraq in 2003, the hard lessons only firsthand experience can teach, and much, much more....

Welcome to episode twenty-eight.
