On this episode of The Other Side of Service, I sit down with Lou Drawdy to talk about his time serving in the United States Marine Corps and the journey that followed after taking off the uniform.

Lou shares what life looked like after service, the challenges of transition, and what continues to keep him motivated today. Alongside his wife, Linda, Lou never stopped serving. Together, they remain deeply involved in giving back through Toys for Tots and several other veteran-focused programs in the community.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that service doesn’t end when the uniform comes off. For Lou and Linda, it simply took on a new mission.

A story of commitment, family, and continuing to serve long after active duty.
