Episode 5: Veteran's Day 2021 (feat. Capt. Jonathan Negron) Live

Today we pause to Honor our Nations Veterans on this 11th of November 2021.

We Salute our Veterans on this day and Honor all who have served and continue serving to secure our freedom and way of life.

It is also difficult to not stop and humbly remember our over 7,000 U. S. Service Members who have perished in the post-9/11 war operations and honor our Gold Star Families.

On a previous Episode on September 11, twenty-years after the tragic events, we spoke about that calm early Tuesday morning, countless acts of heroism and selflessness, and how First Responder Emergency personnel and members of our Military raced into the World Trade Center Towers and our Nations Pentagon.

We say this because today, we have a very special guest! Someone who is not only a friend, father, husband, and someone I have had the pleasure teaching with across the country, BUT add to that VETERAN and First Responder and doing it all at the same time. That is what we call a SOLID RESPONDER.
