Happy 250th Birthday, Marines! Semper Fi!


I told parts of Vietnam Veteran SSGT Mike Holden's story a few times through the years. He passed in 2023. He had been working to write his story for a few years before he passed. His son has put all those writings into a new book. amazon.com/dp/B0FX859XVR?…


I showed up to the run through for this past weekend’s Navy Birthday Ball. My buddy Navy Seal veteran B.J. Keepers gave me these. In case you’re wondering they were delicious. Semper Fi! #Marines

On a recent Price of Freedom story we talked to Vietnam War fighter pilot Kit Smith. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his role in the first bombing mission over Hanoi in the war. His interview is enlightening. Here's an extended edit: youtu.be/C3-nYvbtVXg
