Veteran’s Day landed after the workshop which made for an easy day of recovery for me today. So it is time yet again for our special Veteran’s Day edition of The Survival Podcast.
I have also removed any time based references so that this version can be timeless. There is no commercial content today as the entire show is dedicated to those that serve our nation.
You will notice more music in today’s show, hopefully no lawyers for Trace Atkins, Tim McGraw or Toby Keith will come after me for today’s show though I doubt it will be an issue. Additionally you will hear the song I co wrote with Gregg Yows, “What Have You Done“.
So tune in today for the story of Veteran’s Day, stories about our troops and the real reasons you should never miss a chance to say thank you to a veteran.
Bravo! Well done.
Our local grocery store (Hy Vee) always sets up a table for our veterans near the entrance where they are served breakfast and people can stop and visit them. I was there today and a Veteran from the Korean War was there. So many just walked by. It was nice to tell him thank you……and then get home and listen to your podcast after the fact.
Thanks Jack. Thanks for everything.
For God, country and liberty,
Ronnie in Iowa
Recently I was talking to my Great Uncle that was in WWII and is still alive. I was commenting on how I had a non-combat job in the USN on a Submarine Tender during the Gulf War. This took a while to sink in. He said when he finished his Army Training they divided his class in half alphabetically. Our name starts with L. Half of his class went to the SS Dorchester which was torpedoed by the Germans. Most of them died. He ended up with a non-combat job in South America. His brother, my Grandfather was in the South Pacific on a C-47 and another brother was a belly gunner over Germany on a B-17. I could see that same look in a very old man who has lived with that all his life.
