TALES OF VALOR EP 26: JOHN L. CANLEY | While many teenagers can't be pulled away from a screen long enough to engage, Medal of Honor recipient John L. Canley used his older brother's birth certificate to get into the Marines early (presumably 14-15 years old). Inspired by a film Sands of Iwo Jima, Canley set his eyes on serving in the military. Not only did he serve but he served with unceasing self-sacrifice in Vietnam and beyond. 

Listen in as Dave shares this amazing story and we even get to hear from those that served alongside this living legend.

Tales of Valor EP 25: Nathaniel "Gus" Mencow. Gus Mencow was a navigator aboard the famed "Betty Boop Pistol Packin' Mama" and led his crew and countless other B-17s through 25 bombing missions, many of which they barely made it out from. Gus and his crew made the most of their time together through their tour from July '43 to February '44. Gus, who came from an immigrant family that prized higher education, lived his life in reverse by going back to school after raising a family, achieving his BA in 1988 and continued beyond to his masters degree in 2006. We enjoyed this story and hope you do too!

Dave shares the story of British soldier Adrian Carton de Wiart and his war exploits and experiences that border on the stuff of Hollywood. We don't know how a film about this tale of valor has never been made! From the Boer Wars to WWI and WWII and multiple campaigns and beyond Adrian's story is worth the attention!

Behind one of the most iconic photos in recorded war history is not just one story but an unreal amount of tales of valor. Not only was there an amazing story from behind the camera but did you know that more than 27 medals of honor were awarded out of that 36 day brutal battle? Us either.

Two star General Sidney Shachnow didn't just live on "tale" of valor but was a man of valor. Surviving and escaping the evils of the holocaust, he overcame tragedy without ever losing his humility. We learn in today's story that there are four types of people in tragedies like the holocaust: perpetrators, victims, collaborators and bystanders. These bystanders had the power to prevent tragedy but were conspicuously absent not by their absence, according to Sidney, but their silence.
