In this episode, Jamie Callahan talks with Terry Haines, Chairman of the Non-Commissioned Officers Association (NCOA) Rogue Chapter 1260 — the largest NCOA chapter in the entire country. With decades of advocacy behind him, Terry shares how this volunteer-powered organization is improving quality of life for enlisted veterans and their families right here in Southern Oregon.

You’ll hear:

• Why the NCOA was founded — and why their mission still matters today
• How Southern Oregon veterans are being honored through the Vietnam Memorial Wall project
• The impact of care packages, legislative advocacy, and mental-health programs
• How events like Vet Run, golf & bowling tournaments raise vital local support
• The meaning behind the veteran medallion program — and the emotional reactions it inspires
• Ways our community can get involved and help prevent veteran suicide

🎖️ From active service to aging at home, the NCOA continues to show up for those who showed up for us.
