Twenty One Gun Podcast

This September, as tribute to the flight attendants and crew members killed in the September 11th attacks, former flight attendant Paul "Paulie" Veneto will push an Airline Beverage Cart from Boston Logan Airport to Ground Zero, NYC. Every GWOT veteran was affected by 9/11 and what better way to honor those that sacrificed so much than have a true patriot like Paulie chat with the Irreverent Warriors!

We also have David Boston from the San Jose Hike hopping on to tell us why the left coast hike is the right hike to be at ;-)

We have some awesome guests coming on tonight!

The Korean cease fire happened 68 years ago (as of last week). The DMZ was the scene of many harrowing missions outside the wire for America's Armed Forces for the decades following the cease fire. Many of these missions went unreported unlike the constant live feeds we got from the GWOT. In remembrance of the time our brothers and sisters have spent deployed to the DMZ we have an former Army Infantry Officer (who wishes to remain anonymous due to current DoD contracting) who is coming on the show to talk about what it was like to serve in the ROK back in the 80s and 90s. He's got some wild stories including tigers! TIGERS in the DMZ!

We also have 2 reps from Fort Bragg's Survivor Outreach Services on to discuss an upcoming memorial, 1,000 sets of boots on a Ft. Bragg football field) to represent the men and women lost in Iraq and Afghanistan. They need boots and there are enough IW'ers in NC to help them out!

Special Guest - Daniel Flores

Dan is a lifelong Texan. He enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1985 and then served in the 4th Infantry Division in Colorado Springs, Colorado. After his active-duty time was over, he served in the Texas Army National Guard's special operations unit; Company G. 143rd Infantry LRRP (Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol).

In 1990 Mr. Flores went to Army flight school to become an Apache helicopter pilot with 7th Squadron 6th Cavalry Regiment, based in Conroe Texas. In 2006 he was deployed as the attack asset for the 10 th Mountain Division. He was assigned to the northeast sector, which included the infamous Korengal Valley, and numerous outposts in the Hindu Kush mountains and along the Pakistani border.

He wrote a #1 bestselling book "South of Heaven, My Year in Afghanistan" telling of his experience flying the Apache helicopter in combat, and was instrumental in the success of the movie "Apache Warrior." From his book the film "Above the Best" was made. "Above the Best" premiered in March 2019 and promptly won the "Reel Hero" award at the GIFF (Gasparilla International Film Festival, in Tampa Fl.) and then numerous awards since. The film uses actual footage taken from his Apache helicopter in combat. The film has also been enshrined into the National Infantry Museum at Fort Benning.

He also flew airplanes and helicopters for 21 years, for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, as an Air Interdiction Agent before retiring July 2020. He has been deployed to the U.S./Mexico border, and South America, on numerous occasions for operations against the Drug trafficking Cartels and the illegal immigrant surge.

In 2013, as a former amateur baseball player, he could no longer play due to chronic pain related to military service. But rather than focusing on the things he could no longer do with baseball, this challenge allowed him to make handmade wooden baseball bats called "Baret Bats" so others may play. Fast forward to now and his home-based business is called Baret Baseball Goods and it focuses on: Handmade Baseball Bats for game play and as Art for gifts, baseball gloves, glove relacing and accessories. His bats and gloves have been used in all levels of baseball to include the Major Leagues, and his Artist Bats are featured in the upcoming "Pleibol" exhibition at the Smithsonian Museum of American History. Juan lives in Prince William County Virginia with his wife Darianella and four children. To get a hold of Juan or to order an Artist Bat go to his website: www.baretbats.com
