Podcasts about mission roll call

Mission Roll Call is the first of its kind: a non-partisan movement that gives our community an opportunity to speak on the issues that are most important to them. We partner with our network of veterans, their families, supporters, and veteran service organizations in our coalition to advocate for positive change in the lives of all veterans. Through polling, direct outreach, and media appearances, Mission Roll Call gathers and delivers the unfiltered, unbiased, and apolitical voice of veterans and their supporters across America, advocating for meaningful improvements and ensuring their concerns and ideas are heard at the highest levels of policy-making.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

And why our government needs to look beyond its past reputation.Join Mission Roll Call's movement and make your voice heard on Capitol HillSign up here:https://www.missionrollcall.org/To reach CBS Eye on Veterans, Host and Navy vet, Phil Briggsphil@connectingvets.comFollow on X@philbriggsVet@EyeOnVeteransSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

(7:03) • I was an Eagle Scout.  (8:11) • When you enlist, they give you a rank for it [Being an Eagle Scout]. (8:27) • I didn't have a positive male influence except for my scout masters and football coaches. (9:11) • There's a tangible benefit of having a group of people that come from all walks of life. You come from such diverse backgrounds, you forget all your differences and your bullshit to accomplish a mission. (10:35) • 67% of Gen-Z does not know a veteran or someone on active duty. (11:56) • That [Marine] uniform has gotten so many guys and girls. (15:05) • The majority of casualties in GWOT came from fuel convoys. (17:15) • Men and women get out, and they have to learn how to be an adult again. (25:53) • One night I spiraled down about that far away from being a suicide statistic. Another marine came and banged on my door. I was actually surprised that him banging on the door didn't jerk my finger. (28:42) • My mindset went from ”I have nothing” to “I have the opportunity to do anything.” (29:05) • 2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. (29:16) • She [Kaya) was specifically trained to recognize when I was having a nightmare and she'd jump on the bed and lick my face, wake me up, and stay with me until my heartrate went down. Or she would recognize when I was having an anxiety attack and would do animal assisted intervention, where she'd get up in my face and distract me to keep the snowball effect from getting worse. (31:38) • You may have kids, you may have a wife that love you very much, but there's something not wired right and you're going down this path, so having a dog there you look down at the dog and think “this dog loves me.” (34:42) • Our connection with dogs is a lot like our relationship with God. (36:14)

Jim Whaley is a former US Army Aviation Officer and CEO of Mission Roll Call. This nonprofit provides veterans with a unified voice to the nation's leaders and communities. The American public supports the military but there is a chasm between what people know and what veterans have to live through everyday.   There are 18.5 million veterans and over 1 million are homeless. Suicide and food insecurity remain rampant. The military today is falling short of recruitment targets and there is a gap between what the military needs to do and the available people actually to do it.

Ryan Gorman hosts an iHeartRadio nationwide special featuring Cole Lyle, Executive Director of Mission Roll Call. Cole Lyle joins the show ahead of National Hire a Veteran Day to discuss various issues impacting veterans nationwide, from mental health challenges to access to health care to employment. Cole also explains the work Mission Roll Call does in advocating for veterans, including the unique challenges faced by rural and tribal veterans.

Ryan Gorman hosts an iHeartRadio nationwide special featuring Cole Lyle, USMC Veteran & Executive Director of Mission Roll Call. Cole Lyle joins the show for PTSD Awareness Month to discuss the issue of PTSD and mental health among veterans, including the overall scope of the problem and different strategies that have effectively addressed the challenges some veterans face. Kelly Navies, Museum Specialist of Oral History at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, also joins the show. Kelly Navies discusses the history of the Juneteenth holiday, from the period between the conclusion of the Civil War and the freeing of enslaved people in Texas to the events following that moment in history that led to the recent push for Juneteenth to become a federal holiday.

Cole Lyle is a former Marine who is now the Executive Director of Mission Roll Call, an advocacy group with the goal of changing policy using the direct voice of veterans. He shares his service as a diesel mechanic and his time in Southern Afghanistan where he learned to be a wrecker operator.   Upon his return, PTSD caused Cole's life to spiral out of control, leading to a close call with suicide. Surviving this ordeal, Cole leaned into his therapy through a service dog. He shares how transformative this experience was and today, with Mission Roll Call, he talks about the debt ceiling and how this catches veterans in the middle. Rad and Cole discuss the VA and what can be done to improve their service to veterans.    Learn more about Cole and Mission Roll Call: Website: https://www.missionrollcall.org/   Join the SOFREP Book Club here: https://sofrep.com/book-club See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When Service members retire from the military, they are entitled to both retirement pay from the Department of Defense and if they were injured, disability payments from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Unfortunately, due to current law, over 42,000 veterans are unable to fully collect both benefits at the same time. USMC combat vet Cole Lyle, Executive Director of Mission Roll Call is fighting to change that.Also, this week Revolutionary War soldiers, our nation's very first heroes, were honored in South Carolina. Discovered amidst the tall pines of Camden Battlefield, these soldier's remains were carefully unearthed, researched and as we'll hear from historian Doug Bostick, it's a fascinating story of the young men who fought to establish the United States of America almost 250 years ago.Links:Mission Roll Call and their work to pass the Maj.

IN THE NEWS VA is doing a major overhaul of disability rating criteria and how they evaluate mental health and other conditions. THIS WEEK'S GUEST Mission Roll Call Executive Director Cole Lyle joins the podcast to talk about how his advocacy organization uses polling to give veterans a more direct voice in policy-making. Cole talks about how Mission Roll Call engages with veterans and their focus on veteran suicide, access to care and amplification of underserved veterans such as women or those in rural and tribal communities. RAPID FIRE Auxiliary member's company helps deliver mobility to veterans New York state commander promotes drive-by membership A new home for Va. Post 139, and new homes for at-risk veterans Special Guest: Cole Lyle.

This week we welcome Cole Lyle, Executive Director of Mission Roll Call.  Prior to Mission Roll Call, Cole worked as an advisor to senior leadership at the VA and on veteran policy in the United States Senate.  As a veteran and advocate, Cole uses his experience in both fields to highlight the voices of 1.4 million members in MRC's network to advocate for veteran's issues across the United States.  Cole is uniquely positioned to lead MRC as he knows personally the struggles of military members and veterans.  From fighting on the ground in Afghanistan to battling PTSD, and then helping write the PAWs Act after his life was changed thanks to his service dog, Kaya - Cole knows the ups and downs of veteran life.  Traditional advocacy groups require veterans to voice their opinions through layers of bureaucracy at their local, state, and national levels, where veterans lose their voice.  Using modern technology, Mission Roll Call hears the unfiltered voice of veterans across America and tells their collective story directly to lawmakers and interest groups.  Roughly half of veterans are unaffiliated with the VA or any veteran service organization.  Mission Roll Call is the first of its kind: a movement that gives every veteran a voice on the issues that are most important to them.  It is a community where veterans and their families share stories, voice concerns, and present solutions for their benefit.  So if you are ready to have your voice heard from Main Street to Washington...this is the episode for you.For more information about Mission Roll Call go to https://www.missionrollcall.org.This week's highlighted veteran owned business is Thigh Huggers.  If you believe in great thighs then show yours off in the industries best "Ranger Panties".  So many designs to choose from you just have to head over to thighhuggers.com to see which pair of short shorts fits your personality!Support the show and get your Bulletproof Veteran apparel at https://amzn.to/3BA3dx9 or see all the available shirts at http://bulletproofveteran.com/apparel.

Cole Lyle joins the show to discuss calling on Congress to not neglect burn pit victims.

Cole Lyle held a gun in his hand, ready to take his own life, when a friend knocked on his door. “I'll be honest with you, in my opinion it is divine intervention because my finger was literally on the trigger,” Lyle, a Marine veteran, says. After six years in the military, Lyle was struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. He had tried medication and was going to therapy, but none of it worked, he recalls. That's when he began exploring the option of getting a service dog.Lyle spent $10,000 of his own money on Kaya, a loving German shepherd, because the Department of Veterans Affairs didn't provide funds for acquiring service dogs. Kaya brought needed purpose back to his life, Lyle says, so he became an advocate of veterans getting access to service dogs. Today, Lyle is executive director of Mission Roll Call, a nonprofit that brings the needs of veterans directly to members of Congress. Lyle joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to share his personal story and to explain how all Americans can help veterans who are struggling after their service to America. Also on today's show, we cover these stories: Russian President Vladimir Putin “never imagined that the world would rally behind Ukraine so swiftly and surely” says Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.President Joe Biden's Energy Department announces that it is banning the sale of light bulbs that produce less than 45 lumens per watt.The newest critic of Tesla CEO Elon Musk's recent acquisition of Twitter is the European Union.Enjoy the show!

On this week's episode of Coffee with Closers, we talk with Cole Lyle. A Marine Corps veteran, Cole serves as the Executive Director of Mission Roll Call, a nonprofit and nonpartisan Veterans Service Organization that advocates on behalf of more than 1 million veterans for policies that address suicide prevention, better access to healthcare and the needs of underserved veterans. He discusses these issues through the lens of his own personal experiences and challenges, as well as his well known service dog Kaya. 

Cole Lyle, a Marine veteran who served in Afghanistan, once put a revolver to his head intending to kill himself. The depression and anxiety of post-traumatic stress had taken its emotional toll. He saw no other way out. But for some reason instead he put down the gun and took up a Bible, locked himself in a room telling himself he wouldn't come out until God's Word helped him figure out what his life was for. Mission Roll Call is the result of that crisis of faith. On this "On the Road" edition of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Lyle talks about how he created Mission Roll Call to help other veterans like himself. One of the top priorities is suicide prevention. Veterans are at much higher risk than the rest of the population. Another priority is helping vets get access to healthcare. Helping Lyle in that quest is a beautiful German Shepherd named Kaia, a specially trained service animal that senses his moods, bringing him back from the brink of an emotional episode like a post-traumatic nightmare. Lyle says, there's a long waiting list for animals like Kaia, so the two lobby the halls of congress to get lawmakers attention to the needs of the men and women who put their lives on the line for the sake of Freedom.

As rising inflation remains a prominent worry among Americans, the Biden Administration and Federal Reserve are assuring the public that they're dedicated to finding ways to reestablish balance within the economy. However, as prices of everyday items continue to skyrocket with little to no progress being seen, many in the U.S. wonder how long we can deal with this problem. Congressman Kevin Brady (R-TX) joins the Rundown to discuss how Biden's actions have contributed to heightened inflation, his concerns about the IRS targeting the middle and lower class, and how a potential geopolitical conflict with Russia could lead to soaring oil and energy prices in America.   According to a 2021 study from the Department of Veterans Affairs, the suicide rate among veterans is almost twice as high as that among non-veterans in the U.S. Retired Marine veteran Cole Lyle was almost part of that statistic had it not been for a fellow Marine intervening. Now, he serves as the Executive Director of Mission Roll Call, a non-profit organization focused on suicide prevention through advocating for veterans' needs. He joins the Rundown to discuss what saved his life after his time in the service, efforts to end the stigma around mental health, and the work Mission Roll Call does to aid veterans.   ‘Plus, commentary by Guy Benson, host of 'The Guy Benson Show.'

Garrett Cathcart - Mission Roll Call, Giving Every Veteran a Voice Garrett's military career started as a student at West Point. After graduation he served until 2012 in the United States Army. He spent time in both the Iraq and Afghan wars and ended his time as a Cavalry Troop Commander. There are many lessons he took from his time in service but his greatest lesson was how to take care of people. Upon separating from the Army, Garrett wasn't sure where to land. After a stint with a medical device company he knew he needed to find purpose in his work. It was this drive that led him to get plugged into veteran organizations. He has for worked for Vetlanta, Bunker Labs, Team Red, White and Blue and now Mission Roll Call. The idea of Mission Roll Call came from a conversation around a campfire in Montana. Mission Roll Call: Mission Roll Call was born out of the realization that almost half of all veterans are unaffiliated with the Department of Veterans Affairs or any veteran service organization. They give all veterans a voice on issues impacting their lives. "This unified voice is getting the attention of our nation's leaders and communities so change can happen." “A community where veterans, their spouses, families, and caregivers can share their stories, concerns, hopes, wins, and voice their issues."
