  • Doing the right thing when no one is looking.

    I save these to listen to when I am alone. Because I find I am so emotional. They are the things that make me proud of America. And our men i and women in service. That is leadership. Here men led. With honor. Let’s hope others can follow. We seem to be short a few good men and women these days.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Snipers in Vietnam: From the Archive
Q: How did the rules of engagement influence your decisions in the field?
Decisions were based on visual identification of enemy signs like uniforms or weapons; if uncertain, the default was observation, with shots reserved for clear targets or critical situations that demanded action.
Hitting the Beach On D-Day: From the Archive
Q: Did you have any clue that you were going to get that kind of crossfire when you were going in?
We didn't expect the intensity of this crossfire because our briefing was glorious; what we faced was much worse than expected.
Hitting the Beach On D-Day: From the Archive
Q: What specifically, what, I mean, most people have never heard of it in today's generation.
The NCDU's job involved blowing paths through mine obstacles for the incoming forces at Omaha Beach.
Airborne Assault On D-Day: From the Archive
Q: What was going through your mind then after the Eureka's running and you're waiting for them?
We all were thinking the same thing; maybe they won't come tonight. Maybe they'll scrub the mission just like they did the night before.
Airborne Assault On D-Day: From the Archive
Q: How do you feel about being part of the best fighting machine the world has ever seen?
I wish I was proud most of the time, but not necessarily because I was a part of that point, but because I think I was part of the best fighting machine the world ever seen.
