What if the voices we salute 🇺🇸 fade before we ever truly hear them?

Retired Master Gunnery Sergeant Andrew Cox shares how one simple idea—record every veteran’s story—grew into The Lost Art Project, now partnered with the Marine Corps History Division. 

From a bourbon-fueled first recording 🥃 (and his mom’s honest critique!) to building a disciplined, service-first mission, Andrew opens up about turning raw conversations into living history. We explore why so many veterans stay silent 🏠, how peer-led storytelling creates trust 🤝, and what it really takes to archive these voices for generations.
