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.

According to The Guardian, Army Maj. Gen. Charles C. Rogers, the highest-ranking Black servicemember to receive the Medal of Honor for his bravery during the Vietnam War, was briefly removed from the Department of Defense's website, sparking backlash. The deletion occurred amid the Trump administration's efforts to eliminate references to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Following public outcry, the page was later restored. Rogers' Medal of Honor citation commended his “heroism” during a 1968 battle. He retired in 1984 and passed away in 1990. The controversy surrounding his profile's removal underscores broader concerns about the erasure of Black military history from government records. Learn more about your ad choices.

On August 8th, 2012, as CPT Florent Groberg was escorting coalition and Afghan personnel to a compound in Asadabad, Afghanistan, he spotted a man approaching who was wearing a suicide vest. Acting quickly, Groberg managed to push the attacker away from the group, but the vest still exploded, killing four people and seriously injuring Groberg. More would have perished, though, if it hadn't been for the Captain's actions, which led to him receiving the prestigious Medal of Honor. Hosts LTG (Ret.) Leslie C. Smith and SMA (Ret.) Dan Dailey sit down with CPT (Ret.) Groberg to discuss how Groberg's childhood in France shaped the person he became, how his recovery from the attack taught him many lessons, and also what it's like being a comic book character.   Guest: Captain Florent "Flo" Groberg, U.S. Army Retired, Medal of Honor Recipient   Has a member of the Army positively changed your life? Now is your chance to thank them publicly with a shoutout via our Hooah Hotline and have it possibly appear on an upcoming episode of AUSA's Army Matters podcast!   AUSA's Army Matters podcast can also be heard on Wreaths Across America Radio on Monday at 8 pm Eastern.

The Ultimate Sacrifice: Honoring Corporal Jason Dunham's Legacy In this week's Team Never Quit Podcast, we learn the vivid details of the events leading up to the courage, love, and self-sacrifice made by Medal of Honor recipient, Corporal Jason L. Dunham of Kilo Company, 3rd Battalion, 7th Marines in Karabilah, Iraq. What a leader by example Jason was - to the point of throwing himself onto a grenade in an effort to save his comrades. Marcus' guests, David Kniess (Veteran & Producer) and Lieutenant Colonel Trent Gibson (Dunham's Company Commander), not only bring Jason's story to life, but discuss the compelling and engaging upcoming documentary - The Gift. The Gift documentary is a personal project for David, who had a chance meeting with Corporal Dunham. That chance meeting led to lifelong friendships with the Dunham family and a core group of Marines from Kilo Company. David is actively involved in the Veteran community and has volunteered his time, producing content for Veteran Organizations such as Beteran, Stop Soldier Suicide, John Preston Music, and The Boot Campaign. David also served in the United States Navy aboard the USS Normandy (CG-60), a guided missile cruiser.   In this episode you will hear: • Having the Dunham's in my life has enriched my life. (10:52) • It's not just about Jason; it's about everything that has affected all of you all those years. (15:46) • Our generation and the younger generation is standing up and saying, “I'm not gonna wait for anyone. I'm gonna jump out there and teach guys how to surf, how to sing with dogs, start a podcast, and we're talking about our shit. (22:44) • [With regard to this film], all I care about is what Marines, Sailors, Airmen and Soldiers think. For veterans who are still struggling, I want them to watch it and say “if these kid can do it, maybe I can do it too.” (26:44) • I want civilians to know what it's like for young men & women to go to war. (27:23) • [Marcus] If somebody threw one of those “Thank you for service” lines at you – even if you haven't done something – it's coming…” (28:04) • I believe in 3 things as a Marine. I believe in leadership by example; I believe in self-sacrifice for the greater good; and one man can make a difference. (33:06) • Jason had the leadership qualities to lead a rifle squad of American sons. (37:39) • Any leader who inspires his subordinates through personal example, to then return the favor and take care of him – that's a true leader. (47:06) • Dunham was a big boy. He's not someone I would choose to grapple with. (54:38) • Jason took off his Kevlar helmet, placed in on the grenade, and then laid down on it. (64:41) • Knowing what I know of him now, he loved his marines so much. He didn't just take care of them, he practiced taking care of them. Who fucking practices covering a live grenade with their helmet?

There are 125 WWI recipients of the Medal of Honor. One of those recipients was Private Thomas Croft Neibaur of the 167th Infantry Regiment, 42nd “Rainbow” Division who received the award for heroism at the Cote de Chatillon in 1918. Neibaur was the first Mormon and the first soldier from Idaho to receive the Medal of Honor. His actions led General John J. Pershing to name him amongst the “Immortal Ten”  of World War I, and yet, in a tragic turn of events, in 1939 Neibaur returned his Medal of Honor.

Send us a Text Message.Ever wondered what it takes to earn the Medal of Honor and navigate the complex world of Special Forces? This episode features an exclusive conversation with Earl Plumlee, a Green Beret whose journey from the National Guard to the Special Forces is nothing short of inspiring. Discover the profound impact of his military career, the trials and triumphs that shaped him, and the honor and weight of receiving one of the highest military accolades. Earl opens up about the challenges of transitioning between different military branches and the ongoing mission to adapt and overcome in the most demanding circumstances.  Family plays a crucial role in the life of a Special Forces operator, a theme we explore deeply in this episode. Earl shares personal anecdotes underscoring the importance of involving spouses in career decisions to maintain strong family bonds. We also tackle the inherent difficulties of explaining the rewarding yet demanding military lifestyle to those outside the "warrior culture." Communication and mutual understanding emerge as key elements in sustaining familial support and happiness amid the rigorous demands of service.  The episode takes a serious turn as we discuss the mental health impact of preventable battlefield deaths, particularly focusing on PTSD among soldiers and the heavy responsibilities shouldered by military leaders. From the mentorship of young non-commissioned officers to the unique patriotism of Green Berets, Earl reflects on the deep connections forged through service.  Your support means the world to us, so please remember to LIKE, FOLLOW, SHARE, and SUBSCRIBE to stay updated with our latest episodes and join our growing community! Instagram: @securityhaltX: @SecurityHaltTik Tok: @security.halt.podLinkedIn: Deny CaballeroSupport the Krulak Classic Charity Golf Tournament by clicking the link belowDONATE TODAYKrulak Classic on IG: krulakclassiccharitygolfKrulak Classic on FB: Krulak Classic Charity Golf TournamentKrulak Classic on LinkedIn: Krulak Classic Charity Golf Tournament Connect with Earl! Instagram: earl_plumlee_officialFacebook: Earl Plumlee FanWebsite: earlplumlee.com Support the Show.Produced by Security Halt Media

Tibor Rubin's story continues. As a young man, Tibor joined the U.S. Army, and he was sent to fight during the Korean War, where he was captured and taken to a brutal prisoner of war camp. On multiple occasions, he saved many lives and acted with bravery to protect U.S. troops. His story is about more than courage and bravery. It's about compassion. And the truth that, sometimes, hope is the most powerful defense we have.

Stress is the great equalizer in leadership. When you're cold, you're wet, you're tired, your company's losing money, you have no revenue, you're pinned down by enemy fire, or you're down by five with two minutes left, great organizations need leaders who stand up, take charge, make decisions and act. America's Green Berets are the best in the world at leading under stress.To unpack just how we're selecting the next generation of Special Forces Operators, Fran Racioppi sat down with the team responsible for training them; LTC Dave Lucas and Medal of Honor Recipient Command Sergeant Major Matt Williams; the command team for 4th battalion, 1st Special Warfare Training Group, otherwise known as the MOS phase of the Qualification Course. From the JFK Special Warfare Museum at Fort Liberty's John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School they cover the Q-course; what it takes to be a successful Alpha, Bravo, Charlie or Echo; how they're upholding the standard and preparing the force for the peer-to-peer battlefield and the difference between motivation and leadership. Plus CSM Williams shares his account of the Battle of Shok Valley and why sometimes the greatest displays of leadership have nothing to do with rank, position, or tenure. Take a listen, watch, or read our conversation then head over to our YouTube channel to watch this episode and watch CSM Williams & LTC Lucas share the lineage of America's first Special Forces in the Jedburgh Media Channel's first documentary, Unknown Heroes, Behind Enemy Lines at D-Day, the story of Operation Jedburgh.
