We are pleased to present this special episode from a podcast headed by our fellow podcaster, friend, and supporter of veterans, Buzz Knight.

Buzz has been a force in media, working as a strategist and a media executive for decades. He has an excellent podcast called "Takin' A Walk", a show that focuses on resilience, mental health, and amazing stories through the healing power of music.

We are fortunate to cross-pollinate with Buzz to share an episode of "Takin' A Walk” where he shares an interview with our friend and previous guest on the Home Base Nation Podcast, Mary Gauthier.

Mary is a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter, author, and military family member, as well as a huge supporter of veterans. A New Orleans native, Mary spent many years grappling with spiraling addiction, alcohol, and depression before discovering her gift as a songwriter. Through song, she found that she could express things she was unable to express in other ways and gained new confidence through writing and performing. She has co-written songs with veterans through the Songwriting with Soldiers program.
