Our throwback August continues as we go way back to Episode 33 with Paul's fascinating conversation with the sole living Medal of Honor Recipient from the Iraq War. It's a hell of a distinction–and a hell of a conversation. Take some time and listen to this timeless talk about war, humanity and the drive to push forward, even after horrific loss. From inside the very cool Classic Car Club in Manhattan. In a raw and powerful conversation, Paul sits down with David Bellavia, the first living Medal of Honor recipient for the Iraq War. David is a man Paul has known for years and a true American hero. But this isn't a conversation about glory and medals; it's a raw, honest discussion about the weight of sacrifice, the nature of heroism, and the deep, often painful, bonds forged in combat. Bellavia, an unapologetic conservative and proud New Yorker, doesn't shy away from the hard truths. He reflects on his time in Iraq, the emotional burden of the Medal of Honor, and the painful division among veterans that "ripped the soul" out of him.  This is a candid discussion about the complexities of a war many Americans want to forget, the burden of being a "courier" for the fallen, and the love and loyalty that truly fuel a soldier's fight. Bellavia's perspective is a crucial reminder that at the end of the day, it's not about politics—it's about the men and women to your left and right. And it's good perspective and inspiration to absorb as we get into the final weeks of summer.

In an appearance on David Bellavia's program today, Erie County Clerk Mickey Kearns hinted at a potential run for mayor of Buffalo, despite the fact the primary elections have passed, saying there are 'things that can be done'. If he were somehow able to get his name on the ballot or launch a write-in campaign à la Byron Brown, should he throw his name in the ring for the next mayor of Buffalo?

This episode is kind of a “betweener”— part Normal Folks and part our special series Supporting Greatness. It may seem like a stretch to call a Medal of Honor recipient normal, but he wasn't some big wig general, literally went house to house clearing insurgents in Iraq, and it's not like he campaigned for the medal. But we definitely wanted to interview David about who's supported him and he powerfully talks about his grandfather, his dad, the men he served with in the “Ramrods”, and a Gold Star mom. Follow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
