Nimitz stated about the Marines and sailors who fought on Iwo Jima that uncommon valor was a common virtue. The men who fought there did it because it was their job – hot for glory and valor. The warriors who earned awards, regardless of where they earned them, deserve to be respected and honored for their sacrifice. Thomas Richards earned his Navy Cross in Vietnam while with the 9th Marines – the same unit our co-host Jim was with when he earned his. Listen as we discuss the impact of stolen

Chris Bowers and Matt Lewisson had a chance meeting on the banks of a river in Virginia while they were fishing for catfish. After a short conversation, they found out they were both Marine veterans and wounded warriors who shared a passion for fishing – which has evolved into a similar passion for golf and the start of a friendship that happens amongst brothers in arms. Chris and Matt joined us for this show to discuss the Salute Military Golf Association (http://www.smga.org/) and the lures that

According to the Veteran’s Administration, there are currently 33 documented suicides of veterans happening every month. Too many of these young men and women have slipped through the cracks, either because of the bureaucracy or because they’ve nutted it up and drove on – just like we are trained to do. Rich Rossi has come back to the show to discuss this issue and more, as well as helping us to understand one of the ways he’s doing something about it by getting the Daniel Center Listen in and

But, who were the men that shaped them into the Marines they were?

Officers in the military are often the butt of jokes – especially those who don’t look upon their role as one of privilege as well as responsibility. This privilege to lead comes from the men and women they lead, who according to our guest, retired Colonel James Sims, can decide at a crucial moment that they just ain’ gonna follow this jack wagon. Colonel Sims was the type of officer, however, who knew this and felt held that trust deep in his heart. In the first of a series of interviews, James

Every war has legacies. Some we talk about – others we try to bury. One legacy of the Vietnam war is the chemicals that were left behind – Agents Orange and White among them. Named for the band colors on the barrels that contained these herbicides, they were sprayed by the ton over the Republic of Vietnam, and to this day, the chemicals are effecting the citizens there as well as our warriors who were in-country when they were used.

In the United States, the number is upwards of 1.2 million people, and worldwide the number is just staggering. What was once seen as a life-changing event is now, with the proper medical care, more of a lifestyle change.

Hollywood (and all of the other movie centers in the world) has a nut for military stories. From movies such as All Quiet on the Western Front and Hell’s Angels to the new crop like The Green Zone and The Hurt Locker, we often see interpretations of what the men and women in the military go through when they are down-range. There are also movies like First Blood and Coming Home that show what may occur when these individuals return. But, how do these interpretations hold up to reality? In this

Agree with it or not, but this past week saw the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. This law effectively caused an estimated 10% of our troops to live a double life, one where they need to hide a major aspect of what identifies them as a man or woman – they’re sexuality. Since before the law was enacted, Denny Meyer was fighting for equal rights for all service members. Denny is the national spokesman for American Veterans for Equal Rights (AVER) and joins us in this podcast.

Where were you on 9/11? Jim was at a BMW dealership, Gar was in Morocco, David was on his way to work, and our guest Richard Rozzi, a Vietnam era Navy vet, was in divorce court. We all have our memories of that morning that in its way was the impetus for Stand At Ease. In this special podcast, we look at what happened that day and where it is leading our nation and the world.

It’s amazing the trips our conversations take when we’re having them, and this show is one that went places we never expected – and we’re extremely happy that they did. We welcome Andrea Sandoval of the Graffiti of War project for a show that goes places we didn’t ask but aren’t afraid to tell. Andrea also has the honor of being our first female veteran – she was a Sergeant First Class in the Army after a 13 year hitch. A very powerful show if we say so ourselves.
