2 POWs, and 1 Marine … they went through hell in Korea & Vietnam.  But their inspiring stories will make you feel the love and honor that is part of every Memorial Day.   

My buddy Ronnie is a legend. Before he deployed to Afghanistan, he dove off the stage at an Offspring concert and got buck naked at his backyard birthday bash. So his death was hard for all of his friends- but hardest for his family.  Gold Star sister, Christie Berkey shared her experience, and how the caring people at TAPS  (Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors) help families feel whole again.

We talked with the organization having success treating veterans with severe PTSD. And we got a glimpse inside the experience, from Jon- a trial participant and a combat veteran with one hell of a story! 

Both Air Force Tech Sergeant John Chapman and US Navy SEAL Britt Slabinski fought bravely on a snow covered mountain in eastern Afghanistan. Chapman died and Slabinski survived.  Now both are up for the Medal of Honor- but their stories are conflicting. Army Ranger, Spec Op veteran and SOFREP.com's Editor in Chief, Jack Murphy tells more, and reveals other conflicts within US Special Forces.  

After reading Echo in Ramadi, we couldn’t wait to meet author / USMC Maj. (Ret) Scott Huesing. And our interview did not disappoint. Host, Phil Briggs talked with him about the most gripping scenes in the book, and learned that the stories of Echo Company are more than tales of defying death .. they are lessons for a better life.

We talked to Sean Doolittle, Washington Nationals pitcher and USMC Spec Op veteran Nick Karnaze about a lot of things. Do pitchers hit batters on purpose? The relative that bombed Japan after Pearl Harbor, Metallica, Sean's hilarious celebrity twin and why you should get your beard hooked up with Stubble and Stache.com.  

If you think you've got to be a combat vet to worry about service related toxic exposures- think again.  We talked about the effects on vets from every era (doing seemingly safe jobs) with Dr Tom Berger, Executive Director and Maureen Elias, Assistant Director of the Veteran's Health Council of the Vietnam Veterans of America.

Meet Minx- she's the host of the Tied-Up Tuesday on "WTF Nation Radio," an Army Veteran, and works at hospital. In our awesome conversation, we learned why she loves the .50 cal, conspiracy theories and carrying a gun in her purse. And deep into the podcast (no pun intended) and she shared  the strange things she's had to remove from people's posteriors.   

On the day we met former Navy SEAL, LCDR Dan Crenshaw (Ret.), he had his trademark Navy Blue glass eye, equipped with a gold Trident in the center. But, beyond the "Eye of the Trident", is an incredible story of battle, faith and his current fight for a seat in Congress.  In this episode he shares his story and his politics with Eric Dehm and Phil Briggs.     

Ask former Marines about school shootings ... and the answers might surprise you. In this episode we talked to 3 members of the Coalition of Veteran Engagement at George Washington University.  They shared powerful thoughts on why war fighters should not guard schools with rifles, why they think arming teachers is dumb and where they plan on taking their fight next.
