Episode 9 | SRVD.VET presents: Wreaths Across America Day

The donation of wreaths from the Worcester Wreath Co. began as a personal tribute from the Worcester family to military veterans who gave their lives for this country. The family quietly made these wreath donations to Arlington National Cemetery for nearly 15 years before a photo set them on a path they hadn’t dreamed about.

For Wreaths Across America, wreath quality is important.

Symbolically, wreaths represent everlasting life. These seemingly simple evergreens are so much more than a decoration placed on a grave. Wreaths Across America exists because hundreds of thousands of people across the United States and abroad responded to the emotional power of these wreaths and their simple ability to honor military members and their families. To this day, the outpouring of donations from thankful Americans humbles the Worcester family and makes them proud to be a part of something they never foresaw or intended.

SRVD's WHY: Epic Episode 7

- Not just to be in Service, but to be OF Service

- Raf is given a new name: "SERVO"

"Servo" comes from the Latin verb “servare” meaning to serve. “Servo” is the first person singular which means “I serve.” As it is, the present tense of “servare” is:

servo =I serve.

servas = you serve (singular).

servat = he /she serves.

servamus =we serve.

servatis = you serve (plural).

servant =they serve.

Etymologically, some English words which come from Latin are: serve; service; servant; servitude; server; servile; servitor; and servility.

(Jaigobin Shivcharran, Ph.D. Secondary and Tertiary Education & Linguistics, Summit University of Louisiana (1998))

Amazing show, Episode 6, with Rob Balzano (SRVD Radio Episode 3), Founder of the Check 6 Foundation.

Raf and Balz discuss the origins of the organization, dive deep into its mission and the tremendous impact that this SRVD Legacy non-profit partner has had on Raf and others.

The missing 'Episode 5' story; where your host, Raf, fell short and did not deliver on the Hump Day boost he promised, in part because of a lack of planning as it turned out to be Sept 11 on this past Wednesday's scheduled release... in this version of episode 5, Raf shares the challenge of getting the original episode 5 out and how he totally missed the goal line.

In keeping things Real - as was also promised, this quick 10 min episode explains what happened! It brings to light that LIFE isn't always perfect; but recovery is always available.

Lessons Learned captured and discussed; a recent discovery that staying awake to your own episode is critical in this thing called 'creating content'...this is Real LIFE and why SRVD Radio exists!

"I'll see you on the line...Onward!!!" - Raf

In this 4th episode of SRVD Radio:

- We celebrate the "D" in SRVD - Dependents; our Spouses and Children because they HAVE served!

- Most importantly: Shablanc is introduced

;)

Well, it is ALWAYS an adventure with Raf and SRVD...the very first SRVD Radio show with a co-host.

Who is it?

Well listen in and FIND OUT! :)

For SRVD and SRVD Radio to create impact as I envision, I have to go back to the days before I hit that 'Brickwall'...

Episode 2 is the game-changing episode to help those who feel lost and alone in a dark valley. It is why SRVD and SRVD Radio exist - we are ONE because we are SRVD!

- Diving straight into the very difficult and heavy topic of Mental Health and Wellness as we explore the story of SRVD.

Exploring the three phases of SVRD's 'Leaving to Living' program:

- PHASE 1: Transition

- PHASE 2: Identity Crisis

- PHASE 3: Nostalgia / Legacy

with a quick deep dive into SRVD's GetOneGiveOne campaign - an exclusive two sticker campaign that dovetails into the 'Leaving to Living' vision.

The four planned SRVD Radio segments are:

- The Grumpy Sergeant - Gentle reminders from a retired Master Sergeant

- The Mentor Minute of the Week - Game changing 'level-ups' in small doses

- The SRVD Mission Brief - The main event, the meat and potatoes of it all and well, the purpose of this whole idea

- The Leaving to Living Debrief - Actionable items, Leadership tid-bits; it's the NOW, go 'BE' about it and go 'DO'

Wrapping up the show with a Special Thanks to Mark Asquith and a very special 'THANK YOU' dedication to my Wife, Mindy.
