Dysfunctional Veterans Podcast

We begin Season 2 with a new thing.  Every other episode, we will do a Dysfunctional Short, where we highlight an important figure in military history.NOTE: Some words that are racially unacceptable today are used in this episode.  We are reading directly from a letter about Mr. Salem Poor written in the late 1700's.  Our podcast and sponsors do not agree with the actual verbiage used in today's episode.  We believe in equality for every human. Today, we discuss Mr. Salem Poor, a key figure in the Battle of Bunker Hill and a great American.
