Surprise!  Happy Veteran's Day everyone!  Today, we honor our brave soldiers and military personnel and vow to never forget the sacrifices they make for us.  We have a surprise episode for you to celebrate veterans and highlight their stories. This one features our conversation with Iraq War veteran Josh Kosel.  Listen in as we discuss Josh's time in the military, his experience navigating the VA and special offers & discounts available to veterans for Veteran's Day!

Here is an educational article that outlines the origin of Veteran's Day way back in World War One (remember the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month).

Here are some links for finding free or discounted offers for veterans on Veteran's Day this year (2020), special shoutout to Josh for helping me compile this:

If you're interested in supporting veterans, I would encourage anyone to contact their local VA or military support organizations for volunteer opportunities and special events.  If you would like to donate monetarily, I would recommend The Wounded Warriors Project as they do some amazing work.  The link to donate to them can be found here.

As a fellow veteran myself, I'd like all my fellow service brothers and sisters to know that they are cared for and so important to both myself and society.  If you are not feeling yourself or need help, please, please, please reach out.  I'm willing to talk with any brother or sister that has laid their life on the line for this country and I know countless other individuals who would do and feel the same.
