VOCRadiow/Rob&Doc

VOC Radio is BACK and we re-Launch with a vengence. This week's guest is Dan Crenshaw. US Navy SEAL (LtCDR Ret.) combat wounded Veteran who enrolled into Harvard Graduate School following his medical retirement after serving 10 years with the Teams. Soon after his graduation with his Masters in Government Policy, a new opportunity presented itself to run for one of the few Congressional seats for his Hometown base of Houston, TX. Positioned as a "long-shot" candidate, Dan employed his tenacious SEAL Team work ethic establishing a fast grass-roots momentum. In March, the election for the Republican Candidacy saw him pitted against two well-funded establishment candidates as well as an additional field of seven more candidates. On election day, Dan established himself in a very strong 3rd place after early voting and the election day turnout voted in large mass for Dan. A majority position was prevented and when the smoke cleared, the top two candidates by vote were Dan and what would now be his main competitor. Dan joins us in our NEW STUDIOS in the Dynamic Munitions offices. This is a show you do NOT want to miss. We talk about Dan's Navy years, his transition, his time at Harvard and what motivated him to pursue a new career in Public Service.

ProtectingOurHonor.com To fight for the interests of, and protect the honor of, the United States Military & Veteran community by: 1. Defend and be the voice of United States' military and veterans community from elected officials and government bureaucrats that discriminate, defame, or otherwise harm our community and its members; 2. To inform and educate our elected officials and agency officials against taking any actions or promoting any statements/positions that may cause undue harm to members of the military and its veterans; 3. To dissuade fellow veterans from working against their own community’s interest for monetary compensation; 4. To effectively advocate for legislation in Congress and in every statehouse to promote veterans issues but also to fight against any legislation that is detrimental; 5. To counteract the promulgation of dis/misinformation by special interest groups which has led to the deterioration of military tradition over the last two decades; 6. Pursue passage of the Veterans Equal Access Act in the U.S. Congress. The proliferation of prescription opioids and other medicines within the VA system has become rampant and over-used, resulting in thousands of veterans living life in a “zombie-like” state, or worse, dying. It is time that the federal agency tasked with “taking care of those who have borne the battle” provide other options that have been proven to help ease the mental and physical pain our veterans endure.

H.O.M.E. – Help Our Military Endure is a 501(c)(3) corporation organized for charitable purposes to send care packages to active United States servicemen and women serving in far off countries. This effort is solely supported by monetary and non-monetary donations collected from the general public along with businesses throughout the United States of America. http://helpourmilitaryendure.org/ With every care package that we send, we like to include as many cards and letters as we can to show our support for our fighting men and women. We are always in need of more letters and cards. Would you consider taking a few minutes to write a letter or words of encouragement on a card that would get to a soldier in Iraq or Afghanistan? Not only will our military receive much needed items to make their lives a little easier, but the cards and letters can do a lot for a lonely soldier. If you would like to help, please send us a card or letter (you can send more than one) to be included in a care package. Please remember to be gender neutral when writing to the soldiers because you may not know who will be on the receiving end. Send your cards and letters to the mailing address provided below.

Kristofer Goldsmith served in the U.S. Army as a forward observer, separating in 2007 at the rank of sergeant. He deployed with the 3rd Infantry Division in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2005. Kris has since become an advocate for veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder and those with less-than-honorable discharges. He is the founder and chair of High Ground Veterans Advocacy, which partners with veterans service organizations to train vets to become grassroots advocates and leaders in their local communities. Kris currently serves as the assistant director for policy and government relations at Vietnam Veterans of America. He is also a member of Truman National Security Project’s defense council. The goal of High Ground Veterans Advocacy is to empower service members and veterans to become advocates and leaders in Washington DC, their home states, and local communities. Service members and veterans will receive instruction and training to communicate and network with other Military Service Organizations (MSOs) Veteran Service Organization (VSOs), directly engage with the media, write opinion editorials, properly use social media, and effectively engage with elected and appointed government officials. Service members and veterans trained by High Ground Veterans Advocacy will be encouraged to pursue leadership roles within their respective local VSO chapters. High Ground Veteran Advocacy will perform detailed research on military and veterans’ issues, and will propose legislative and administrative solutions to problems faced by the military and veteran community. High Ground Veterans Advocacy will train at least one class of service members and veterans per year to develop highly effective teams focused on educating government officials and the general public on a variety of veterans issues. High Ground Veterans Advocacy teams will work to promote improvements to the transition process when veterans leave the military, healthcare and education, and to expand veterans’ access to all earned benefits. kris@highgoundvets.com http://www.highgroundvets.org/ @KrisGoldsmith85 https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristofer-goldsmith-7920a089 http://taskandpurpose.com/author/kristofer-goldsmith/
