The GingerVeteran Podcast

A Marine with such a phenomenal story to tell, he can not find enough ways to share! Listen to Buddy Lee tell his story of service and sacrifice!

A story saved is a life given up. A story shared, is a life growing up. Not everyone has the same experience when it comes to military life. Not every Veteran receives the same health care. Not everyone has the opportunity to share their story uncensored and unedited until they come to us. We will give voices to those who need it. That's exactly what we did in this bonus episode. Enjoy!
