For a podcast done by Veterans and Active Service members of the United States Military? This is something that's gonna happen. After all, we're trying to help the military out there feel like they have someone/somewhere to go and feel like they aren't alone. Help military open the door to the idea of being a nerd. And of course, help our civilian friends and family understand us just a little more.
Today? That topic is Memorial Day. It often gets confused for Veterans Day. And it's our goal to help do something that doesn't always happen. An open discussion on one of the hardest topics, when we lose a battle buddy. A brother or sister in arms. Whether that's in combat, suicide, training accident, illness, natural causes after being in. How it affects us, what we think, and tell the military to calm down too.

Have a good Memorial Day Weekend everyone! From us here at Geek Boots: Military Nerds. We hope you take this weekend to bond, to grow, and to be there for each other. To love. To show respect. All we can say is to those that have lost? You're not alone, and we are so sorry. To those that are gone? You are never forgotten. We will continue to live in your memory. Rest In Peace.
