These guests are George Randle—a U.S. Army veteran whose military assignments included the U.S. Army Berlin Brigade, US CENTCOM and III Corps with deployments to Africa, Central America and Guantanamo Bay, key leadership assignments including Platoon Leader, Executive Officer and Company Commander, and Mike Sarraille, a retired Navy SEAL whose medals include a Silver Star, six Bronze Stars, and a Purple Heart.
