In this episode, Steve Palmer and Norm Murdock dive deep into the themes of pride and humility, drawing inspiration from the quiet dignity and service of World War II veterans. They share compelling stories, like that of D-Day, while reflecting on the differences between past and present generations.

The discussion takes a turn into contemporary issues, as they critique President Biden's foreign policy, examine the Supreme Court's unanimous ruling supporting the NRA, and debate the implications of cultural shifts in society.

Steve and Norm also tackle hot-button topics ranging from personal sacrifice to the challenges facing today's youth, and from the importance of shared values to the contentious nature of modern extremism.
