I first met Andy at one of the League of Legends community LAN parties more or less half a decade ago. Now, the street-smart kid from Tondo is serving the American people as a member of the United States Military. After years of being in the US and almost forgetting how to speak good, old Tagalog, we chat about his life in his second homeland. Andy takes us on a journey from enlistment to deployment as he explains his evolution from immigrant teenager to US soldier. He highlights the triumphs and tribulations—from passing his entrance exams to the isolation of duty in Europe. Andy humanizes the experience of young recruits, showing how the military builds character through extreme discipline. But he also reveals the toll of separation from family and friends. His open account provides civilians a vivid window into military life.

Today, on the Poetic Resurrection - Awakening Dreams we celebrate Memorial Day with guest Paul Meixner. Memorial Day is a holiday in the United States honoring the active-duty fallen soldiers. In 1966, the federal government declared Waterloo, New York the birthplace of Memorial Day. Waterloo was chosen because they had been celebrating their version of Memorial Day since May 5th, 1866. They honored fallen soldiers by putting flags and flowers on their graves, and close their businesses for the day. There is much emotion when it comes to soldiers. I know this is probably going to cause some controversy, but I feel if you go to war and are willing to die for your country then we as a country should take care of veterans for life. In observance of Memorial Day, veteran Paul Meixner discusses what it was like to be in the military and what Memorial Day means to him. This is a brief and heartfelt interview. An introspective talk about his military journey. Paul Meixner is a former US Army Infantryman turned Filmmaker and Weapons and Tactics instructor.

Today Sayre and Preston are joined by Morgan Sullivan. Morgan and Sayre crossed paths in the Infantry Officer Basic Course when they were both brand new second lieutenants. While Sayre was just starting his Army career, Morgan was a seasoned veteran that fellow students and cadre leaned on. Morgan joined the Army after the September 11, 2001 attacks and before long found himself with the 3rd Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne headed to Iraq for the 2003 invasion. Before making the jump to the officer side, Morgan deployed to Iraq three times as an infantryman in a line company and with the scout platoon. After he and Sayre parted ways at Ft. Benning, Morgan headed off to the 2nd Infantry Division where he once more would deploy, this time to Afghanistan. Morgan is wrapping up his Army career and it was great to sit down and chat for a bit with someone whose impressive career spans the Global War on Terror.
Joe Granville, Earl's twin brother, had always had aspirations of becoming a soldier. Once Joe took his oath, it was only right for Earl to do the same. The twins would become Infantrymen together in the Army National Guard and be assigned to the 109th Infantry Regiment out of Pennsylvania. Joining during a time of peace, the brothers' first taste of adventure landed them in Bosnia as part of the NATO mission, Operation Joint Forge, to bring peace to the region after years of conflict. This gave them both a chance to see the world and experience a new culture. The brothers quickly fell in love with the military way of life, and they knew they wanted to make it a career. As the PA Army National Guard (PAARNG) Unit left Bosnia, mid-March of 2003, President George W. Bush addressed the world and announced that the United States of America would be invading Iraq. An Iraq combat deployment was a sure bet, due, in part, to the nature of the Infantryman's job. But, eager to fulfill his service obligation, Joe Granville, volunteered to deploy to Iraq. Feeling the pressure of his brother's decision, Earl decided to volunteer as well. He felt compelled to join his brother in Operation Iraqi Freedom; furthermore, he just couldn't allow him to go alone. Both men thrived in their careers, and despite the hardships of combat they knew the military was their “calling”….They both re-enlisted prior to returning home. Once he returned home from combat, Joe got married and landed a great job as a correctional officer at SCI Waymart, a state correctional institution. Later, he was attached to the Pennsylvania National Guard A1-109th Infantry in Honesdale as a Training NCO. Earl returned to community college and earned his associate degree. The men were progressing in their lives, respectively, and all was right. The opportunity to deploy to Afghanistan presented itself to the brothers in 2008, Joe wasn't ready to go back to war. Joe had a young family, a good job, and he thought his best option was to wait for the deployment orders to drop. On the other hand, Earl felt as though the deployment had come at the exact right moment and he took it! “Who the fuck is watering their grass in Afghanistan??” BLACKNESS “When I came to…big beautiful sky...my feet are backwards, and I'm full of blood. The Humvee to my left is completely destroyed. We just hit a roadside bomb.” Listen to the episode to hear how SSG (Ret.) Earl Granville, US Army Infantryman, overcame this horrific attack, how he honors the brothers he lost, and what he is doing to change the future! Currently, he is travelling the nation telling his hard truths and inspiring other Veterans to do the same! This episode is in loving memory of: Staff Sgt. Joseph Granville (1983-2010).
