  • Incredible

    Probably the best podcast series I’ve listened to, and I’ve listened to hundreds. This is extremely well presented and produced, and the story/stories are incredibly compelling.

  • It's a look behind the curtain into what these guys went through. Even if someone is not a combat vet, their words inspire courage to face the day to day challenges in life and grow around any scars that may be there. Best wishes to all these guys and those who have and are serving in hellholes.
