While we're typically all about thrilling adventures and steer clear of political topics, this time we couldn't resist. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine has been making headlines, with news outlets often choosing which parts to cover. 

So, we decided to bring in our resident Middle East expert, the esteemed Dr. David Romano, a Thomas G. Strong Professor of Middle East Politics at Missouri State University. In our latest podcast episode, we had a deep dive into the historical backdrop of this complex conflict and delved into the current events

We had so much fun with our guest George Fuller on the podcast! Ruck'n'Run was created by an Army Drill Sergeant, Ruck 'N' Run® honors Veterans and connects the community through fun, motivating, yet challenging events.

While stationed in DC, Ruck ‘N’ Run® creator George W. Fuller served as a liaison for U.S. Service Members returning from overseas due to an injury or illness, which included those wounded in combat.

This unique duty allowed him to interact with thousands for U.S. Service Members on their journey to a full recovery.

One aspect of his duties was to give combat wounded Service Members a grant in the form of a prepaid credit card. These were provided by the nonprofit organization called Army Emergency Relief and were presented to help their transition from battlefield to home-front.

This gave him the idea to set up a fund to help provide assistance to those who still serve in uniform and those who served in uniform. That’s why Honoring Those Who Serve(d)® is spelled with parentheses. This fund is to help U.S. Service Members and Veterans that are in need or who are going through a difficult situation.

A portion of registration fees from select events and generous donations will be set aside in a fund called, Honoring Those Who Serve(d)®.

Join us as we talk about what it has been like to run exploring the ozarks! Who has been a favorite guest? The funniest? We go over that and other random thoughts during this episode.
