🔥 Unveiling the Warrior's Journey in "Black Hearts and Painted Guns" with Kelly Eads Unveiling the Warrior's Journey in "Black Hearts and Painted Guns" with Kelly Eads

Lock n' Load, folks because in this action packed episode, we sit down with Kelly Eads, author of the new book Black Hearts and Painted Guns: A Battalion's Journey Into Iraq's Triangle of Death.  Kelly, a dear friend and a veteran of two deployments to Iraq with the 101st Airborne Division, generously shares with us the harrowing experiences and profound insights that led to the creation of this gripping memoir.

Kelly's firsthand account takes us on a rollercoaster ride through the challenging and intense combat experiences endured during the hunt for one of Iraq's most notorious terrorists, Abu Musab Zarqawi. 

Witness the valor, resilience, and selflessness displayed by these soldiers as they navigated the complexities and dangers of the sectarian war they were thrust into.

 So, pull up a chair and sit a spell as we honor the bravery of those soldiers who faced down Al-Qaeda in the Iraq's Triangle of Death.

(Warning:  there is a little salty language in this episode for those you with kids around, you might have them skip this one.)
