On today's episode of the #localwordonthestreet, we had a very special memories.

"I want to thank both of my fellow veterans, Steve Schultz and David Manville, for coming on The Putnam Beat podcast this morning. Steve Schultz is a Vietnam vet who has been an educator for over 30 years, he had a vision to create a Student Veterans Center for all veterans to come and feel welcome. He is the reason why the veterans center is the success that it is today. David Manville is a Navy veteran that overcame some early struggles and went back to school to continue his education. He started OLaH (Operation Lend a Hand) to help homeless veterans in need. He works at the Family Crisis Center and continues to help the homeless everyday. Thank you to both these gentlemen for coming through to the new studio."
