  • Riassunto

  • The United States has been at war since October 7th, 2001. But what have we been doing for almost 20 years? I sit down with recent veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, as well as others who served and shaped our military in the post 9/11 era.

  • 17 - Robert Waples II
    Jan 5 2022

    Hey everyone, just a heads up, this interview was originally recorded back in March of 2021, so some of Robert's comments will sound a little dated, but remarkably prescient. 

    The groups Robert recommends are: Horses for Heroes, they provide free programs for post-9/11 vets that focus on leadership and horsemanship exercises. Anyone who's ever spent some time on a ranch can testify to the healing powers of horses. The second is Hooten Young, an American Whiskey and cigar company founded by a former Delta Force Master Sergeant. They also donate 10% of the proceeds to veterans charities. 

    Lastly, if you're interested in my memoir, Chasing Alexander: A Marine's Journey Across Iraq and Afghanistan, you can grab a copy here.

  • 16 - Gus Biggio
    Dec 20 2021

    Hey everyone, we're back! For today's episode I spoke to Gus Biggio. We originally spoke back in the spring, so things might be a little dated.

    Gus recently published a wonderful memoir about his time in the Marines called The Wolves of Helmand. Gus is an insightful guy, who genuinely carries about service and honor. 

    The organizations he supports are:

    • Socks for Heroes, over they last 10 years they've donated over 750,000 pairs of fresh socks to troops serving overseas. Anyone who's ever deployed or gone on a long camping trip can appreciate the sheer joy of a fresh pair of socks.
    • Our Spirit of America, they work alongside US troops and diplomats to help out in a civilian capacity. If you're interested in helping Afghan refugees after the Taliban takeover, this is a great place to start. 
    • And lastly, a repeat recommendation because of what great work they do, Team Rubicon. Right now these rapid response teams of veterans are helping out after the horrific tornadoes in Kentucky. 

    You can find out more about Gus, his book, and other organizations he works with at WolvesOfHelmand.com.

    And last but not least, you can by my memoir Chasing Alexander: A Marine's Journey Across Iraq and Afghanistan.
