When you have the drive to move, and the background of a father who was inspiring and supportive, what can you get done?
Our guest this week hails from the great state of Missouri, and has found her place in NYC. She owns and runs an insurance company, is a professional witness, has written and book and become a keynote speaker, and is always on the go. Listen in as she shares how her father was an inspiration to her, in words and actions, and she has used that to inspire and coach others, as well as remember and honor her father. Susan Combs will entertain and captivate as she shares her upbringing and the lessons she learned.
A new name to the People’s Patriot Project, Allen Hayes brings some depth and fun to the show on this episode. He was fresh off a trip to Camp Southern Grounds where he got to write songs with and meet 11 other veteran musicians for the first time. Allen spent 8 years in the Air Force where he was an F-16 Pilot. He says it’s all fun until you’re in the war. His first song was Over and Over and he said it was about knowing that you can never take that uniform off once you put it on. You will always be a soldier. The next song was Little Things about being a dad. This song was written for his son, Liam. He got the chance to play this song for his son at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville. The last song was called Smoke Show. This is a get up, get out there and dance song. It’s about when a girl walks into a bar and can captivate the entire bar with her dancing ability.

How can you combine fun and healing? During this episode, we find out how Walleye Searchers of Minnesota combine fun with camraderie and turn it into moments of healing. This group has been running fishing tournaments for a long time and when they put on their veterans fishing tournament, there are always surprises throughout the day. From deep conversations out on the water to seeing a buddy you haven’t seen since Vietnam, this group is amazing!
The healing skills of fishing are shared by the board members Caleb Buenger, Nick Dennison and Kevin Valento. These are representatives from Walleye Searchers of Minnesota, and they are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. They love to fish, and they have found that by sharing this love, they can help veterans and make them feel cared for.
Lack of a musician does not mean we skipped the music this time. We chose of few of our favorites (joke is on you - they are all our favorite!). We started out with Minnesota native group, Lake and Lyndale. The song, Still Here, is a peppy song that has the most amazing vocals. We then played Bury These Bones by David Allen Stone, and that one has a haunting tale of coming home without you Battle Buddies. We then finished with a song by our new friend, Mikele Buck, who’s Irish Road song tells the story of the road dubbed the ‘most dangerous’ in Bagdad that was traveled by many of our soldiers. Mikele does an amazing job giving honor to those who have been there.

We start out with Col (Ret) Mikel Burroughs sharing what he has been up to. Burroughs is involved in many projects and events, and he is always lending a hand to help support our military members. One of the most exciting is the news about hyperbaric chambers, not new, but more availability to those who have served. This is a great topic about healing and relieving pain! Mikel is also heavily involved with Victory for Veterans and tells how they are championing their world and reaching out to all.
Music on this episode is supplied by our friend, Dave Bray USA! Dave brings the energy and talent that he uses to do good. It is without fail that he entertains, teaches and loves his country with a passion! Dave started out explaining his love for his country, and we listen to his upbeat version of The Star Spangled Banner. This is followed by his explanation of his newer song, Stand Up, written with his passion of supporting first responders and the daily grind as they fight to keep our communities safe. The last song Dave shares is his respectful Halleluja song. He took the liberty to change the lyrics and make them to support our first responders and what they go through on the daily. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers as we enter this hot presidential election and the holidays coming up.

This episode has the team from THE PEOPLE’S PATRIOT PROJECT has the team rolling with stories of love, family, faith and brotherhood with our friends Kevin Key and Frank Gonzales. These two are spending their time taking care of each other and others while they live their busy lives. Kevin is very busy with running a ranch, writing a book with his wife, and creating a safe space in their Florida town for families to spend safe and fun times together, doing things they are used to doing, but under a roof of safety and family. Frank Gonzales has a musical talent as well, and entertains us with some of his favorite songs … which he plays live! You can’t lose by opening up with “I Can Only Imagine”, which is how Frank opens every one of his gigs. He followed up with his version of putting it all in a “Nutshell” by Alice in Chains, another song that has great meaning to him. Frank finished the night sharing “Amarillo By Morning”, and does this one amazingly!

A couple special guests popped in to say hi - Eric Oligschlager who is the founder of The Chad O Foundation dropped by, as did David Willis, Jr from Homefront SitRep. Its an exciting night to catch up on all the burning questions.
The music on this episode was choice by Petersen. He started with Kimberly Meyer - Out That Door, followed by Mike Donnell - With You, and finishing with CJ Garton - Ferris Wheel. Some of the most awesome songs and music artists we have had on the show over the years!

It is the end of Suicide Awareness Month, and we will not stop combating this deadly enemy. There is no single answer, no single fool-proof therapy or counseling method that will keep this from happening. It will take all of us and we will need to work together to keep this demon at bay.
This is an episode that shares insights from William Stephens. From his beginnings in Desert Storm, with stories of his deployment as a forward observer, to where he is today, William Stephens shares his experiences and what led him to write his book, The Mirror. The Mirror delves into the lives of individuals grappling with various traumatic events, illnesses, and disorders, with the author personally navigating through post-traumatic stress disorder. It serves as an uplifting read for those battling their inner demons stemming from past traumas.
Stephens labels this work as therapeutic poetry, comprising simple verses and short stories aimed at guiding readers on a journey beyond the surface. Drawing heavily from personal experiences, particularly within the military and relationships, from childhood to the present day.
The Broken Mirror will be out soon - Halloween, which deals with post-service and how he is mending the relationships that were broken while he was gone. Stephens is a persistent person, and his perseverance is driven by the desire to get the word out and help others deal with things he has seen and experienced through service. The help he hopes to accomplish is not just for those who have served … it is for anyone who has PTSD they are dealing with.
Music on this episode: ** Lake & Lyndale - Still Here **Mike Ponder - Better Days **Better Be Tough - John Hensley

It is Suicide Awareness Month, and we need to be aware. There is no one answer, no one fool-proof therapy or counseling method that will keep this from happening. It will take all of us and we will need to work together to keep this demon at bay.
This is an episode that shares an amazing man’s walk with grace. Joel Grant Faulisi shares the story of his beginnings and where he is now. There are so many impacts caused by broken bonds, but a military brother or sister separation due to a disagreement in political or ideological differences can leave a void in one’s life. It is difficult enough to navigate life after serving, but the added stress of brotherhood gone south is what Joel confronts in this episode. As he is also a musician, Joel sums it all up in the phrase, divided by ignorance, united by music.
We also have some rocking music on this episode! The first song is I Bow My Head. This is a Patriotic song from Jack. The second song is When Doves Cry, which was a cover of a Prince song. Dedicated to the Minnesota part of the crew. The third song, Living A Lie, was written when he was taking some time off of music.

If you are struggling to find where you belong, and there is separation from your battle buddies, keep in mind that we can be divided by ignorance, united by music. Put some of that good vibes back in your life while you try to repair those relationships and find your place. Remembering is not enough, and there is #strength in asking for help, Even If It Hurts.

This is a very informational and inspirational episode. We are here with Deke Letson who runs the group Veterans Exploration Therapy. There is so much to this program, and the pride put into running this to make all trips come down to the fun and bonding. The best part, as Deke says, is when you run into some of those who have taken part in an adventure and you hear how it was the most exciting thing they have ever done. This was created out of a desire to help other veterans find their way without waiting for space or being on a cocktail of meds before getting some real help. Listen to Deke explain Like, What’s Your Jam, with a mix of his own story and how he came to found the Veterans Exploration Therapy group.
We also have some rocking music on this episode! The first song is Better Be Tough by John Hensley. Our guest was talking about soldiers doing dumb soldier stuff and this song came to mind as he did. This may even be fitting for the saying of the night, Like, Whats Your Jam. The second song is Irish Road by Mikele Buck. This song is a nod to “Route Irish,” about Baghdad Airport Road which is a 7.5 mile road between the green zone and Baghdad Airport. This is such a great song.
