Veterans of World War 2 are called the Greatest Generation for their uncommon courage and self-determination. Whether this descriptor is true or part of America's self-mythologizing during the 20th century is a challenging question, one that Andrew Biggio, a veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, worked to answer.Biggio found that many were brave, but they were all ordinary men who also shared in humanity's weaknesses and flaws while responding to the call of duty. Biggio is today's guest and author of “The Rifle 2: Back to the Battlefield.” He shares first-person accounts from the last of the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines who fought the most dreadful war in history.The idea for his first book “The Rifle” was simple: travel across the country with a 1945 M1 Garand, the basic U.S. fighting rifle of World War II, ask combat veterans of that war to sign it, and listen carefully as the sight, touch, and feel of that rifle evoke a flood of memories and emotions. In this follow-up book, Andrew Biggio once again reveals the astonishing effect his M1 Garand had on the old warriors who held it.

Join host Dale Throneberry and his guests from Operation Song. Veterans Roger Blackwood and songwriter Wil Nance.

Hey, Scuttlebutt listeners. Thank you for joining us. This week we welcome Andrew Biggio back to the show to discuss his most recent book: The Rifle 2. When Andrew returned

Andrew Biggio was excited to show his neighbor, a WWII veteran, the M1 Garand rifle he had recently purchased. The weapon was the most common rifle used in WWII, and Biggio thought his elderly neighbor would appreciate holding the gun. “When I put that rifle into his hands and he raised it into his shoulder and started waving it around the room and pointing and smiling, and we talked about the Battle of Okinawa for like three hours,” Biggio, a Marine veteran himself, recounts. Biggio was in awe of the stories his elderly neighbor had just shared with him. The rifle had not only triggered memories in the veteran's mind, but acted like a microphone, propelling the man to describe his war experiences in detail. Biggio asked his neighbor to sign the rifle becasue he wanted to remember the stories he had just been told, and this gave Biggio the idea to find other WWII veterans and ask them to sign the M1 Garand rifle. Today, “I have 320 names on that rifle,” Biggio says. “You can't even see the wooden stalk. The whole rifle's full of white ink names.” But the majority of the soldiers who have held the rifle have done much more than signed it, they described their war stories in detail while grasping the weapon, stories which Biggio has compiled into two book. His first book, “The Rifle: Combat Stories from America's Last WWII Veterans, Told Through an M1 Garand,” was released in 2021 but could not hold all veteran stories. In September, Biggio released the project's second edition, “The Rifle 2: Back to the Battlefield.” Biggio joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to share some of the stories of the WWII veterans he has had the privilege of meeting and writing about.

Erik Dorr from the Gettysburg Museum of History asked me a few weeks ago if I wanted Andy Biggio, author of "The Rifle", on the show. I said, "Erik, would  you ask me if I wanted Martin Sheen on the show? Of course I want Andy on!" And so it was. FROM PUBLISHER: "It all started because of a rifle. The Rifle is an inspirational story and hero's journey of a 28-year-old U.S. Marine, Andrew Biggio, who returned home from combat in Afghanistan and Iraq, full of questions about the price of war. He found answers from those who survived the costliest war of all -- WWII veterans. It began when Biggio bought a 1945 M1 Garand Rifle, the most common rifle used in WWII, to honor his great uncle, a U.S. Army soldier who died on the hills of the Italian countryside. When Biggio showed the gun to his neighbor, WWII veteran Corporal Joseph Drago, it unlocked memories Drago had kept unspoken for 50 years. On the spur of the moment, Biggio asked Drago to sign the rifle. Thus began this Marine's mission to find as many WWII veterans as he could, get their signatures on the rifle, and document their stories. For two years, Biggio traveled across the country to interview America's last-living WWII veterans. Each time he put the M1 Garand Rifle in their hands, their eyes lit up with memories triggered by holding the weapon that had been with them every step of the war. With each visit and every story told to Biggio, the veterans signed their names to the rifle. 96 signatures now cover that rifle, each a reminder of the price of war and the courage of our soldiers."

On this episode, Derek sits with Andrew Biggio.  Andrew is a former US Marine turned Police Officer and Historian.  His incredible project, "The Rifle" has seen the recording and preservation of hundreds of World War 2 Veterans stories.  His tireless humanitarian work in the Veteran community has made him a legend.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has stopped enforcement of the Senate's dress code. Many have speculated the decision was made to accommodate Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) who has a reputation for wearing hoodies and shorts. On his X social media page, Sen. Fetterman posted: “If those jagoffs in the House stop trying to shut our government down, and fully support Ukraine, then I will save democracy by wearing a suit on the Senate floor next week.” On Wednesday, Attorney General Merrick Garland testified before the House Judiciary Committee. In his opening statement, Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) emphatically said that “everyone knows the fix is in”—documenting instances of political bias within the Justice Department including the incredibly generous plea deal it negotiated with Hunter Biden and his attorneys. While questioning Attorney General Merrick Garland during Wednesday's House Judiciary Committee hearing, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) pointed to a double standard within the Justice Department stating: “You indicted [Ray Epps] on a misdemeanor. Meanwhile, you're sending grandmas to prison.” During Wednesday's House Judiciary Committee hearing, Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) asked Attorney General Merrick Garland: “Have you had personal contact with anyone at the FBI about the Hunter Biden investigation?” Garland claimed he could not “recollect.” He also refused to directly answer whether he has had discussions about the Hunter Biden criminal probe with Special Counsel David Weiss.

Andrew Biggio, Author / Police Officer / USMC Combat Veteran, discusses how his journey documenting the stories of World War Two veterans

When Marine Corps veteran Andrew Biggio placed his vintage M1 rifle in the hands of WWII combat vets, it inspired a collection of some of the best WWII stories ever told. We talked with him about his best-selling book “The Rifle”. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You wouldn't believe how these ninety-year-old WWII heroes come alive when you put a rifle in their hands.Andrew Biggio, a young U.S. Marine, returned from combat in Afghanistan and Iraq full of questions about the price of war. He went looking for answers from those who had survived the costliest war of all—WWII veterans.His book, the Rifle: Combat Stories from America's Last WWII Veterans, Told through an M1 Garand is the answer to his questions. For two years, Biggio traveled across the country to interview America's last living WWII veterans. Thousands from our Greatest Generation locked their memories away, never sharing what they had endured with family and friends, taking their stories to the grave. So how did this young Marine get them to talk? By putting a 1945 M1 Garand rifle in their hands and watching as their eyes lit up with memories triggered by holding the weapon that had been with them every step of the war.It began when Biggio bought a 1945 M1 Garand rifle and handed it to his neighbor, WWII veteran Corporal Joseph Drago, unlocking memories Drago had kept unspoken for fifty years. On the spur of the moment, Biggio asked Drago to sign the rifle. Thus began this Marine's mission to find as many WWII veterans as he could, get their signatures on the rifle, and document their stories.With each visit and every story told to Biggio, the veterans signed their names to the rifle. Ninety-six signatures now cover that rifle. Each signature represents a person, the battles endured during the war, and the PTSD battles fought after it. These are unfiltered, inspiring, and heartbreaking stories told by the last living WWII veterans—stories untold until now.

Andrew Biggio grew up in Boston as part of a family steeped in military service. In fact, he is named for his great uncle, who was killed in action in Italy during World War II. Andrew joined the U.S. Marine Corps in 2006 and was deployed as a rifleman to Iraq in 2008 and later to Afghanistan.After leaving the Marine Corps in 2012, Biggio wanted to learn what really happened to his great uncle. That quest turned into a much bigger odyssey, as he interviewed scores of World War II veterans from all branches and who served in both Europe and the Pacific. And he added a twist. Biggio bought a 1945 M1 Garand that he placed in the hands of the veterans as he spoke with them and each of them signed the rifle. The final result was his powerful book, "The Rifle: Combat Stories from America's Last WWII Veterans, Told Through an M1 Garand."In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Biggio shares the story of his own service, discusses the stories of many of the amazing veterans he interviewed, and what he learned along the way.

Some we lost in service to our country like the military men who volunteered in the testing of Apollo 1.  Some who’ve committed suicide because survivor’s guilt and the trauma of combat is too great.  Our “greatest generation” who are dwindling in number but still remember the horrors of losing their brothers in WWII.  And even the “unknown” or missing we remember and who are ceremoniously guarded in Arlington.  We pause to remember with Andrew Biggio author of “The Rifle,” Jeff Gotesfeld author of “21 Steps: Guarding the Tomb of the Unknow Soldier,” Gretchen Smith, founder of CodeOfVets.com, and Ryan Walters author of “Apollo 1: The Tragedy That Put Us On The Moon.”
