Podcasts about Gold Star

It's one thing to survive war, it's another to make sure it's remembered. In this powerful conversation, Special Forces veteran Michael "Rod" Rodríguez opens up about his journey through combat, traumatic injury, and personal loss, and how those experiences led him to a new mission: building the Global War on Terrorism Memorial in Washington, D.C. Rod isn't just talking about his story. He's fighting for all our stories - service members, Gold Star families, civilian contractors, and anyone touched by the Global War on Terrorism. As the president and CEO of the Global War on Terrorism Memorial Foundation, Rod walks us through what it takes to build a national memorial: the red tape, the victories, and the deep emotional stakes of making sure our generation isn't forgotten. From delivering hope in Somalia to eating charges on breaching missions, Rod's story is one of grit, growth, and leadership. But more than anything, it's about building something that lasts, not just for us, but for the next generation who needs to know what we lived through.

In the 18 months since our first podcast with True History, a lot has changed for the Toronto Lords of Lager. Adam and Matt joined Cee and Nate on the pod to catch up on the haps, including their partnership with their in-house, authentic Austrian food program (Beisl), their approach and brand voice on social media vs newsletters, their friendship with the Mellön boys, how their Canadian Pilsner Project came about, why Adam doesn't do tasting notes, how valuable their co-sign is, their Gold Star brand and why it's different from other True History beers, how they work with their maltster in the US, the difference between an Italian Lager and Italian Pilsner, their fun serving methods (including the hot poke stick), and their dope events. They got into a half dozen TH bangers - Gold Star Premium Lager, The Canadian Pils from The Canadian Pilsner Project, Something Italian Italian-style Lager, Beisl Beer Modern Vienna Lager, Mild Lockout Helles Lager, and The Governator Doppelbock. This was hilarious and informative - cheers! BAOS Podcast Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube | Website | Theme tune: Cee - BrewHeads

The 19 agency inspectors general fired by President Donald Trump had a collective impact of saving the government more than $50 billion in fiscal 2024. New data from Senator Gary Peters (D-Mich.), Ranking member of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, shows the IGs played a key role in investigations and audits that uncovered significant fraud and abuse. Peters highlighted two examples: The Energy Department's IG who halted an illegal semiconductor export scheme, which led to the cancellation of $100 million in grants and the DoD IG who uncovered fraudulent financial practices targeting Gold Star families, leading to a 12-year prison sentence and a $1.4 million penalty.

State Representative Dan Swanson spoke about the significance of Memorial Day, reflecting on the deep impact these losses have on Gold Star families. Swanson also criticized the Chicago Sky WNBA team for remaining in the locker room during the National Anthem, suggesting their actions failed to honor fallen service members.

This isn't just another long weekend. This is Memorial Day. And this episode will stop you in your tracks.When Staff Sgt. Bryan Black was killed in an ISIS ambush in Niger, the ripple effect didn't end with his final breath. A soldier's death doesn't just take a life—it shatters a family, echoes through a community, and leaves a silence that never truly fades.On this Memorial Day, we sit down with Michelle Black, a Gold Star widow turned truth-seeker and author of Sacrifice: A Gold Star Widow's Fight for the Truth. What began as a love story on a snowy mountain turned into a national headline, a political controversy, and ultimately, a mother's relentless mission to honor her husband's legacy and expose the truth behind his death.Michelle's story is a gripping journey through unimaginable loss, government spin, and the courage it takes to speak out when others would rather you stay silent. This conversation is not about politics—it's about truth, service, sacrifice, and the very real cost of freedom that we need to honor on this day.Memorial Day is not Veterans Day. It's not about BBQs, sales, telling a Veteran “Thank you for your service” or three-day getaways. It's about remembering those who laid down their lives—and the families who carry that weight every day.If you've ever needed a reason to stop and reflect, this is it. Take the hour. Learn Bryan's story. Hear Michelle's voice. Say their names. Remember their sacrifice. Because the freedoms we enjoy were paid for in blood—and that's worth more than a moment of silence. Listen now. Share it. And never forget why this day exists.Learn more about Michelle Black: Buy her book Sacrifice: ORDER HERE Follow her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michelleblack71We are two sports chiropractors, seeking knowledge from some of the best resources in the world of health.

Send us a textWhat happens when two successful business leaders decide to channel their skills toward helping America's military veterans? Frank Fertitta IV and Landon Gyulay reveal the powerful story behind founding Easy Day Foundation, an organization determined to make every day easier for those who've served our country.The name "Easy Day" comes from a Navy SEAL expression, but carries a deeper meaning. As Frank explains, "The easy days should be ahead for these guys, not behind them." This sentiment drives their mission to support veterans transitioning back to civilian life—a journey that's anything but easy for many who've served.Both founders share deeply personal connections to military service through their WWII veteran grandfathers. Frank recounts how his grandfather bombed Berlin on his 21st birthday, while Landon reflects on growing up "as far away from enemy front lines as possible" thanks to others' sacrifice. These stories, combined with alarming statistics—17 veteran suicides daily and over 35,000 homeless veterans—compelled them to act.Rather than duplicating existing services, Easy Day Foundation focuses on what these business minds do best: creating high-impact events that raise both awareness and substantial funds. Their partnership with the American Music Awards for a Memorial Day broadcast represents this strategy in action. Every dollar donated during the telecast will flow directly to their carefully selected partner organizations, creating a comprehensive support network for veterans."There are days when it's a huge pain to run a 501(c)(3)," Frank admits, "but then you meet someone like Lisa Hallett—a Gold Star widow raising three children after losing her husband on a humanitarian mission—and you remember exactly why we're doing this."Want to make a difference in veterans' lives? Join the movement by watching the American Music Awards on May 26th, visiting easydayorg to donate, or following @EasyDayFoundation to learn how you can help ensure those who served have easier days ahead.

In this episode of Friday Fiduciary Five, Eric Dyson talks about the true meaning of Memorial Day; to honor those who died serving the country, rather than celebrating personal freedoms or retail sales. Eric encourages listeners to remember and never forget the sacrifices made by service members and their families, particularly the Gold Star families who have lost loved ones. He suggests watching the movie "Taking Chance" to honor Memorial Day and acknowledges the freedom enjoyed in the retirement industry is built on the sacrifices of these fallen heroes. Eric also clarifies that while veterans can be thanked year-round, Memorial Day is specifically for remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice.Connect with Eric Dyson: Website: https://90northllc.com/Phone: 940-248-4800Email: contact@90northllc.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/401kguy/ The information contained herein is general in nature and is provided solely for educational and informational purposes.It is not intended to provide a specific recommendation of any type of product or service discussed in this presentation or to provide any warranties, financial advice or legal advice.The specific facts and circumstance of all qualified plans can vary and the information contained in this podcast may or may not apply to your individual circumstances or to your plan or client plan specific circumstances.

Kathleen Faircloth received the news that no parent wants to get. In late November 2004, she learned that her son, U.S. Marine Corps Lance Corporal Bradley Faircloth, was killed during the Second Battle of Fallujah in Iraq. What followed was the anguish over losing her only child, slowly emerging from the immense grief that followed, and the unexpected joy of finding a family she never expected.In this Memorial Day edition of Veterans Chronicles, Kathleen Faircloth tells us how the 9/11 attacks sparked Bradley's interest in joining the military and how he joined the Marines impulsively while home from college. She then explains how Marine Corps boot camp produced significant, positive changes in her son, how much he loved being a Marine, and how she stayed in touch with Bradley while he was deployed to Iraq. We'll also hear Kathleen's detailed recollection of the day she found out Bradley was killed, receiving his body as it returned to the U.S., and the incredible bond she formed with the surviving members of Alpha Company, 1/8 Marines. It was forged at Bradley's memorial service and has strengthened exponentially over the past 20 years.Kathleen speaks very openly about her struggles following Bradley's death, the powerful moments that proved she was healing, and her desire to help the men of Alpha Company heal as well.As we honor those who gave their lives for our nation on Memorial Day and every day, Kathleen Faircloth's candor, humor, and tears will give you a powerful glimpse into those who put their ilves on the line for our nation and the powerful legacy they leave behind.

In a heartfelt session of 'The Valley Today,' host Janet Michael shared an inspiring conversation with Dan Abel, a member of the Rotary Club of Winchester. The discussion centered around the Healing Field of Honor, an annual event presented this year by Navy Federal Credit Union, which honors heroes with a majestic display of American flags at Handley High School every Memorial Day weekend. Janet began the show introducing Dan, who clarified that the Healing Field of Honor began as a post-COVID community initiative by the Rotary Club. Dan detailed the event's origin five years ago, motivated by a desire to unite the community after the period of isolation. The result is a stunning visual of 800 American flags, each dedicated to a hero, be it veterans, first responders, or even local heroes like nurses and caregivers. Dan explained the heartfelt backstory behind each flag. Sponsors dedicate these flags to their heroes, and each flag carries a tag listing the hero's name and story. The flagged field transforms into a living narrative of bravery and service, creating a powerful and emotional experience for anyone visiting. Some flags are taken home by their sponsors, while others are adopted for the event, allowing ongoing participation and remembrance. The Healing Field of Honor isn't just about the flags. The event kicks off the Thursday before Memorial Day with a grand ceremony featuring music, flyovers, and even skydivers. This year's ceremony is on May 22nd. The closing ceremony occurs on Memorial Day itself, providing a more solemn reflection and honoring Gold Star families, flanked by patriotic songs and the symbolic 13 folds of the American flag. Dan highlighted the community spirit and broad involvement in the event. Local businesses and volunteers contribute various resources and services. Winchester Equipment, for instance, provides essential items for setting up the field. Meanwhile, Navy Federal Credit Union has notably stepped up their support this year, both financially and by mobilizing volunteers. Further expanding its impact, the Rotary Club has introduced new features over the years. A notable addition is the Heroes Hill, which hosts veteran services organizations. These groups offer vital support to veterans, from administrative help to leisure activities like fly fishing. Adding a personal touch, this year's event will also capture oral histories on video, ensuring the stories of these heroes are preserved. This initiative could lead to a documentary project, enriching future events with poignant narratives. Janet emphasized the wide array of community contributions facilitated by the Rotary Club, all of which underscore the importance of service-oriented organizations in local life. Dan concluded by urging people to visit the Healing Field, stressing that anyone can participate and honor a hero, even at the last minute. For more information or to get involved, listeners were directed to visit the Healing Field's website at healingfieldwinchester.com or the Rotary Club of Winchester's site at rotaryclubofwinchester.org. As the conversation wrapped up, Janet and Dan both expressed their earnest hope to see the community come together to honor and remember their heroes in this powerful display of unity and gratitude.

We didn't want to talk about it, but it's time to call out the people grifting off Tina Peters' name. Tina Peters, a 70-year-old Gold Star mom, sits imprisoned, enduring harsh conditions, mental strain, and daily challenges. Shockingly and disgustingly, some are profiting off her struggles and sacrifice—raising money on her behalf, only to pocket the donations. Enough is enough. There's only one legitimate place to support Tina Peters, and she has a message to tell you exactly where that is. Up next, the ICC just arrested former Philippine President Duterte for 'crimes against humanity.' The problem? First, the Philippines is no longer part of the ICC. Second, President Duterte's efforts helped thousands escape human and drug trafficking—so where's the crime? All this and more on today's Untamed!  

President Donald Trump shocked many on Tuesday night during his address to Congress when he broke the news that the ISIS-K terrorist responsible for the 2021 Abbey Gate bombing was arrested and being brought to the United States to face justice. The bombing that took place during America's withdrawal from Afghanistan killed 13 U.S. troops, including Lance Corporal Jared Schmitz. Mark Schmitz, Jared's father, joined FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony to discuss the news, how he found out before this week's primetime speech, and why he says the terrorist's arrest brings him closer to the closure he needs. He describes why he felt let down by the Biden- Harris Administration and is happy to see the new Trump administration looking into Abbey Gate and the U.S.'s botched exit from Afghanistan. Mark also told the story of his son Jared, and how he is now honoring his memory and the memory of other Americans killed that day by helping America veterans. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Gold Star father Mark Schmitz, allowing you to hear more about Lance Corporal Jared Schmitz and the questions surrounding the deadly bombing of Abbey Gate.
