I found myself glued to this story. It had my complete attention. It was almost like i was riding with you two, back in time, in the jeep listening. These real life stories provide an invaluable first hand experience our veterans endured and experienced trying to survive the horror of combat. God bless them and you. I need to subscribe to you to help you continue your important work. Your interviews should be made available to every high school student. so they may learn close-up from the voices of those who answered the call to duty that serving ones country in combat isn't glorious. Its fighting to save our freedom but most importantly, to save the lives of your buddies and yourself. Joe Martelle, vet USMC

Thank you for your comment, Joe — it means a lot to me. Please sign up for a free subscription, you can do so either from a prompt at the bottom of the article or by downloading the Substack app, and then browse through the archive, as I’ve already done over 80 posts. I’ll be adding more audio to the newsletters, as there is no substitute for the veteran’s voice, as dramatic as the text alone often is.
