I'm a combat veteran and the son of a combat veteran who committed suicide. I've had too many friends and battle buddies who killed themselves.

This is my inaugural episode of the Fix Bayonets podcast – Military history you didn't learn in school. I'm dedicating this episode to the service members and veterans who are fighting to live. There is always hope.

If you care about our service members and veterans, I hope you'll check out this episode. It's that important.

Never forget, Mark
