    I was born 1965 and too young to remember this war but I know men and women who served and they are heroes to me. These stories prove that men do heroic things.

    Am grateful for this podcast and for all the vets who share their story here. These men and women are national treasures.

Story of the Combat engineer is yet to be told…
