Rod Rodriguez is an Army veteran and host of the podcast “Military Matters” for Stars and Stripes military news. He recently documented vets trying to rebuild their lives after being ravaged by Hurricane Ian.  The audio clips he shares capture their raw emotions and vivid descriptions of being inside a mobile home as it was severed in half. Also, we examine the similarity for veterans between war zones and volunteering. And what all of us can do to help make a difference.
