  • As a Marine Corps veteran, the stories being told allow me to not feel alone in the civilian sector. Hearing all the unsung heroes stories allows me to connect to others simply by listening. I enjoy these podcasts on my long drives and times between classes. Thank you for giving the veterans a platform to tell their stories.
