Assault Forward

After starting off with a powerful quote by General Patton, we dive into Memorial Day and explore some of the unique military customs such as The Battlefield Cross, coins on gravestones, and taps.  We discuss how we all choose to honor the memory of our fallen brothers and sisters in arms in our own meaningful ways be it on Memorial Day or another significant date and why building a business like Assault Forward has been a sort of therapy for us and allowed us to stay connected to the military community.

This episode I wanted to share a bit of the lighter side of a year long combat deployment from the archives of B Battery, 2-82 Field Artillery.  I've heard many stories from our Vietnam era Veterans and others about the small details of camp life that were often the most memorable parts of their tours.  As many can relate, despite the moments of high intensity and exhilaration, life down range is often filled with long stretches of boredom and monotony.  Here's how our battery faced that challenge to keep our Troopers occupied and busy while at the same time making life a little better.  I hope you enjoy this look at our life in Mosul, Iraq.
