This Veterans Day, we honor those who served with a powerful compilation of the most raw and vulnerable moments from our conversations with America's warriors.
What you'll hear:
Nick Ige (82nd Airborne) takes us to his first deployment in Afghanistan, from mistakenly hopping on the wrong bus to building an entire outpost from scratch in brutal conditions. His story about Coke cans exploding in the heat and diving for cover captures the terror and transformation of a young soldier's baptism by fire.

Jason Redman (Navy SEAL) recounts the ambush that nearly killed him, shot eight times, bleeding out on the battlefield, then finding the strength to walk to the helicopter after calling out to God. A miracle of survival and testament to the human spirit.

Tu Lam (Special Forces) shares the mission in Laos that changed everything, giving a little girl a pen and building a school for a village still littered with American landmines from decades past. His 9/11 story reveals the moment he knew his warrior path would lead to war. Tu Lam's Full episode on YT → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqRbeVZ-FCw
Jack Carr (Navy SEAL/Author) connects the dots between a seven-year-old boy inspired by his grandfather's WWII sacrifice and the man doing push-ups in the surf zone at SEAL training, drawing strength from those who stormed Omaha Beach so he could pursue his dream.

Trung Nguyen (Army Ranger) honors his mother's escape from Vietnam, fleeing with $1 and the willingness to risk death so her son could pursue anything he wanted in America. His Ranger training story captures the mental battle of taking hardship one minute at a time.

John Stryker Meyer (Vietnam SOG) reveals the secret war in Laos and Cambodia, running classified missions under heavy fire, always leaving under enemy fire, and the 58 Green Berets still listed as missing in action. He carries their names and the heartache of brothers who never came home.

These aren't polished war stories. They're honest reflections on fear, brotherhood, sacrifice, and what it means to serve. From frozen socks in Afghanistan to silence after firefights in triple-canopy jungle, these veterans share what's rarely spoken but deeply felt.
This episode honors all who served and those still missing. Their courage gives us the freedom to have conversations like this one.
