11 września Wisła osiągnęła katastrofalny, najniższy historycznie stan - 20 cm, podczas gdy chwilę później wylały rzeki na południu. Co to znaczy dla Warszawy? Ruszyłem na kajakowy spływ warszawskim odcinkiem Wisły, żeby przekonać się, czy rzeczywiście jest tak CZYSTA, jak mówią, czy na dnie można znaleźć kawałki pałaców z czasu potopu szwedzkiego i czy naprawdę śpiewają nad nią słowiki. Z okazji równonocy jesiennej popłynąłem również na magiczny koncert na barce w Porcie Czerniakowskim. O Wiśle, pływaniu, kajakach, przeprowadzaniu nurogęsi przez jezdnię i nadbrzeżnej Warszawie rozmawiam z Janem Piotrowskim - pełnomocnikiem prezydenta Warszawy ds. Wisły, Wojtkiem Murą oraz ornitologami.⭕️ ZOSTAŃ NASZYM PATRONEM:https://patronite.pl/dobrapodroz⭕️ LUB POSTAW KAWUSIĘ:https://buycoffee.to/dobrapodroz⭕️ YouTube:http://bit.ly/subskrybuj_dobrapodroz⭕️Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/dobra_podroz/⭕️Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/tudobrapodrozOdcinek realizowany we współpracy z Zarządem Zieleni m. st.

W Kioto mieszkaliśmy w standardowym hotelu w centrum miasta, też było ciasno, pokoik jeszcze mniejszy niż w Tokio, ale dzięki temu, że mieszkaliśmy w centrum, to wszędzie było blisko, restauracje i sklepy spożywcze mieliśmy na wyciągnięcie ręki. W związku z tym, że dzisiaj chcieliśmy się wybrać do najdalej położonych zakątków Kioto, nie rozkładaliśmy się specjalnie ze śniadaniem, ani w hotelu, ani w żadnej restauracji. Postanowiliśmy coś kupić w sklepie, wziąć do ręki i iść na autobus. I bardzo się zdziwiliśmy w sklepie spożywczym, takim wcale nie dużym, gdy przy wejściu zobaczyliśmy stolik z mikrofalówką i czajnik z gorącą wodą, a obok nich dwóch panów robotników, który przygotowywali sobie śniadanie zakupione w sklepie. Postanowiliśmy też skorzystać z tej opcji, i kupiliśmy gotową japońską zupę ramen, wystarczyło ją tylko podgrzać w mikrofalówce.  Mówię o tym, bo jednak ani w Stanach Zjednoczonych, ani w Polsce nie widziałam w normalnym sklepie spożywczym takiego gastronomicznego kącika.

James talks about his time in service, his leadership and those that served alongside him. James reflects on how the importance of supporting each other led him to recreate the Warrior Reunion Foundation. The Warrior Reunion Foundation mission is to ensure every unit has the opportunity to reconnect. They leverage their experience, partnerships, and resources to deliver unparalleled, all-inclusive unit reunion events that enable warriors to reunite, remember, and renew together!Visit their site to learn more on how you can plan a field operation reunion https://www.warriorreunionfoundation.org/Follow on Instagram @warriorreunionfoundation https://www.instagram.com/warriorreunionfoundationJames Ferguson BioJames Ferguson is a recognized leader in the Veterans Health industry, leveraging extensive personal experience with the wide-ranging impacts of war on the human condition. He served on Active Duty as a Marine Officer for over 6 years, including a combat deployment to Kajaki, Afghanistan in 2010, where he led his Marines in fierce daily battles against a numerically superior and well entrenched enemy force of Taliban and Al-Qaeda aligned fighters. During the deployment over 10% of the unit was decorated for valor; over 25% of the unit was wounded; and five members were Killed in Action. After returning from war James experienced firsthand the difficulties our warriors face with reintegration and post-traumatic stress; challenges which impact warfighters, families, and communities across our nation. He committed himself to developing grass-roots programs that provide culturally competent, stigma-free entry points to broad networks of resources designed to serve veterans and their families. He is the former Deputy-Director of the Military Family Life Counseling program, a network of over 900 Masters-Level Clinicians embedded at the small unit level to provide confidential counseling support to our active duty, reserve, and guard components. He also served as the Director of Field Operations for the Veterans Choice Program, and he is the founder and CEO of Warrior Reunion Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit organization that facilitates veteran peer support by providing reunions to reconnect veterans who deployed to combat together. He is a recipient of the Navy Commendation Medal, a Navy Achievement Medal with Combat Distinguishing Device, an inductee of the Honorable Order of St. Barbara, and a 2018 Presidential Leadership Scholar.

The Warrior Reunion Foundation provides all-inclusive reunion experiences to reconnect units deployed to a combat theater together.   In May of 2010 the Marines of India Battery 3/12 deployed to the volatile Kajaki district of Helmand Province, Afghanistan. For the next 7 months they would be involved in daily contact with a well entrenched enemy force, while securing the critical infrastructure of the Kajaki Dam. With over 25% of the unit wounded and 5 Killed in Action, the men prevailed in the toughest fight of their lives together. Their deployment bonded them as family - brothers in arms - who would forever share a commitment to each other. In the years that followed many found themselves in a new fight: the fight to find their next mission in post-military life. The unit needed to face that challenge like they had all others: together. Five years after their return from combat India Battery renewed their commitment to each other. On Memorial Day Weekend 2015, the Marines of India Battery reunited, joined by the Gold Star families of those they lost. Together with a community that rose up to support them the Marines celebrated their history, honored their fallen, and connected with actionable resources to support each other. Out of that life-changing and life-saving event the Warrior Reunion Foundation was born. Our team's mission is to ensure every unit has this same opportunity to reconnect. We leverage our experience, partnerships and resources to deliver unparalleled, all-inclusive unit reunion events that enable warriors to reunite, remember and recover together.

On April 11, 2011 former Marine, Brian Aft stepped on an IED in Kajaki, Helmand Province, Afghanistan, while on a routine foot patrol. The blast ended up taking both of his legs, and ultimately leading him down a very dark path. He turned to hardcore drugs to numb the pain, and simply get through every day life as a double amputee. Then one day he was approached by former NFL linebacker, David Vobora in a parking lot. Vobora approached Brian with such enthusiasm that Aft thought the giant former pro football player was going to mug him. It turns out, Vobora simply wanted to know what happened to Aft, and if Brian was interested in joining his gym, the Adaptive Training Foundation, as a means of recovering physically, mentally, and from drug addiction.

GRP 47-Co hosting for this episode is retired Army veteran, Nick Betts. I interviewed Stu Pearson a retired British Army soldier who served for 20 years with 3 Para. The Parachute Regiment is an elite British Infantry Battalion that has been deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq. Stu was on a rotation to Southern Afghanistan and was tasked with protecting the Kajaki Dam which provided power to a large number of people in the region. A Para sniper saw enemy activity that was out of effective targeting range so they planned to move to a concealed position closer to the enemy. En route to this position the sniper who was leading the movement stepped on a landmine. They'd walked right into a minefield. The Para's quickly stabilized him. They'd chosen flat ground not far so the MEDEVAC helicopter could extract the Para Trooper. While clearing the path Stu Pearson stepped on a landmine. Seven men were seriously wounded at Kajaki. Three of them lost legs, while Corporal Mark Wright, of the 3rd Battalion, The Parachute Regiment, suffered fatal wounds. The 27-year-old, just two months away from his wedding to Gill Urquhart, died after displaying bravery so ferocious that he would be posthumously awarded the highest of honors, the George Cross. Three of his comrades were also decorated for gallantry. Nick and I had a conversation with retired U.S Army Special Forces veteran David Pavlick. Pavlick is the CEO of Arsenal Democracy which specializes in Aerospace/Defense Research and Development. He served in Special Forces for 12 years with multiple deployments. David and Nick are both qualified Snipers.
