When I was young I would hear frequently of my grandfather's service in the Second World War. Only it was not the type of story you would think. I would hear very little of the combat stories, even though there must have been many. He was an Army medic, and in the second World War, there was no shortage of men being hurt and killed in the most savage of ways. Instead, the stories, heroic in their own right, were stories of salvation. Stories of young men turning their lives over to Christ and being saved amidst the smoke.  I was introduced to the Day of Battle podcast by one of my buddies Kyle. When I listened to the podcast, my thoughts of my grandfather populated my head. Joe Hayes is a great man who believes in God and makes it his point to talk about some of the more pressing motivators surrounding that topic. Joe earned a Bronze Star with a Combat Valor Device for his actions under fire with his team. He is an advocate for veterans everywhere and is campaigning hard against suicide in our community. In this episode, we both vow to never take our own life. I encourage you to do the same! Thanks for listening.
