In lead up, to Remembrance Day, I wanted to pay special recognition to those who have served in their respective country's armed forces or supported on the home-front and stood by those serving. While these guests are here to tell their stories, others are not; Please use this time to think of how much the fallen heroes have given.
This year I have several episodes which will be released leading up to November 11. I hope you listen with pride as these people served in their own way and gave themselves to a higher calling on your behalf as all members in service do.
