In this unforgettable episode of The History AI Podcast, Chuck and Marco dive into the remarkable life of Dr. Earl Russell Fox—a World War II PT boat commander who later became a physician, then returned to uniform as a flight surgeon in the U.S. Coast Guard. Serving until the age of 80, Dr. Fox became the last active-duty WWII veteran in the U.S. military.

From surviving the Pacific theater and being presumed dead, to earning a Silver Star and shaping military medicine for decades, Dr. Fox's story is a rare testament to courage, reinvention, and lifelong service.

🎖️ Stay tuned after the episode for a special tribute: the original ballad "Dr. Fox (The Last Salute)"—an emotional musical homage to a true American hero.
