Every Veteran has a story to tell.
There are so many shows about our great military and the accomplishments, and some failures and I try not to miss any of them. So much learning to do and these shows provide an avenue for that learning. And people like Dr. Rebecca Grant provide so much accurate information. Please don’t ever lose her incredible database of information held in her mind. (Plus it might be obvious I have a secret crush on her. LOL)
Keep these shows coming.
