  • Generations of Service: A Father’s Perspective When His Son Goes to War

    Generations of Service: A Father’s Perspective When His Son Goes to War
    Jul 26 2024
    What happens when a father and son, both veterans, sit down to share their military stories across different generations? Join us as we uncover the powerful, emotional journey that began with my father being drafted during the Vietnam War, me enlisting in the Army National Guard in 1998, September 11th, and my decision to commission into the active duty military during a time of war.

    From the changes in military training and the unique challenges of urban warfare to the emotional The toll of lost comrades, our conversation offers a rare, heartfelt glimpse into the evolving landscape of military service and its lasting impacts on our lives.

    Hear firsthand accounts of the anxiety and constant worry that families face when loved ones are deployed. My father and I discuss how we coped with the daily stresses, the importance of maintaining communication during chaotic moments, and the often insensitive reactions from those who might not fully grasp the gravity of our experiences. This episode sheds light on the disconnect between soldiers' realities and public perception, aiming to bridge that gap through personal stories and reflections.

    We wrap up by exploring the complexities of supporting a child who chooses to join the military. The episode captures the pride, concern, and mixed emotions that come with such a significant life decision. Listen in as we reflect on the transformative power of military service, the deep bonds it forges, and the enduring conflict between duty and doubt. Thank you for joining us in this candid, heartfelt discussion, and for supporting those who serve and their families.
