There aren't many things more American than baseball, apple pie, and John Wayne.  Wayne lived in a time where movie stars were revered, almost as mythical figures, and due to lack of social media, 24/7 coverage, and the good ‘ole boy system.  He dodged the cancel culture by multiple decades, but as the internet has shown, you can't hide forever.  What could “The Duke” have done to bring him to our courtroom?  Was he a real American hero, or was there a lot more to his war-time story?  We'll dive into this and more in this episode of AHC Podcast.               Intro Music Credits: Wild West by ZitronSound http://bit.ly/2nXGy9W Promoted by MrSnooze https://youtu.be/wTm-WFM0v-g Creative Commons — CC BY-ND 3.0 https://goo.gl/QHshNa   Song shortened to fit intro time                 Citations: Dowell, P.

In this week's episode, Chris speaks with NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Health) Chief Strategy and Impact Officer and US Marine Veteran Sherman Gillums Jr. about his leadership journey. A humble man, Sherman attributes his success to the many people who helped him along the way and talks about how a leader's success is a product of his follower's beliefs. Sherman believes that a leader's readiness is measured by their accountability for every aspect of their team's well-being. As a leader, Sherman stresses the importance of making enough mistakes and learning from them to build trusting relationships with your team. Sherman and Chris recount the many “holes” they must overcome to get to their positions today. Furthermore, Sherman shares how it is important to align your experience with your mission and reflect the constituency of the people you are trying to serve. Through NAMI, Sherman has shared his story and strength with countless other veterans and propelled them through their difficulties. Through his relentless character and valiant journey, Sherman demonstrates that no obstacles can stop a determined leader, as long as they have a passion to change someone's life and make a difference in their world. Additional Biography:Sherman Gillums Jr. is a retired U.S. Marine officer and former senior executive at Paralyzed Veterans of America and AMVETS, two of the largest congressionally chartered veterans service organizations in the country. For 17 years, he has fought to remove barriers to timely access to quality care and worked to reduce unemployment and suicide among the nation's most vulnerable veterans, as well as military families and caregivers.He has testified on Capitol Hill, engaged the White House on a host of issues, and appeared on major networks such as CNN, NPR, and C-SPAN, and in national print media as an influential voice on policy and government accountability. He was selected by HillVets as among the 100 Most Influential Persons in 2016 and one of the Mighty 25 Military Influencers by “We Are The Mighty” in 2020.Sherman holds a graduate degree from the University of San Diego School of Business Administration and completed his executive education at Harvard Business School. Sherman enlisted in the Marines at age 17; twelve years later, shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks and while preparing to deploy to Afghanistan with the 1st Marine Division, he suffered a spinal cord injury (SCI) in an automobile accident. At age 29, this recipient of two Navy/Marine Corps Commendation Medals, a Navy/Marine Corps Achievement Medal and a Global War on Terror Service Medal, was paralyzed and honorably discharged from the Marine Corps. He turned to Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA), the advocacy organization founded by returning WWII service members with spinal cord injuries, for support in re-entering the job market after his SCI. Not only did he find a career he enjoys - and return to school for a master's degree - but, today Sherman is PVA's Associate Executive Director for Veterans Benefits, overseeing field services, vocational rehabilitation services, and architecture services.He reflects upon the extraordinary courage and determination he mustered on his path to recovery, being able to reach out for help and not only survive, but become that person who can extend a helping hand.https://www.linkedin.com/in/sherman-gillums-jr-8148231a9/https://nami.org/Home

The #YearOfTheVet family welcome Shannon Corbeil… that’s Corbeil like Sorbet. An Air Force veteran who answered the call to service after 9/11, Shannon joins us to talk about her road to the silver screen. Right off the bat, you notice that Shannon’s ability to create a calm, fun, and enjoyable environment breaks through, and that same energy is held throughout our conversation.In her past life, she served as an Intelligence Officer… but luckily for her, while stationed in Maryland she rekindled with her passion and fell into her future—one she had memories of starting as early as 8 years old.A LOT is talked about, and sometimes we go on tangents… well… sometimes, I go on tangents, but one thing’s for sure—Shannon is the real deal. She gives guidance to aspiring artist, she shares stories of advice that was given to her—in order for her to be able to make film her career. She shares a little about the not-so-glorifying aspect of fighting to get noticed, yet still in all that—we tell each other jokes. Like… actual jokes.Shannon makes time to give back to our community, and not just by being a guest on the show… but by involving herself in the world that was created to give back to the veterans. She shares about her involvement with the phenomenal Architecture in Motion group, Diavolo… and also her connection with Pin-Ups For Vets—a non-profit that uses the money it raises to provide the VA and other facilities aiding veterans, with new, updated, or missing medical equipment that would help provide better care for our brothers- and sisters-in-arms. In fact, if you would like to pre-order your copy of the newest Calendar to be released next year, please visit www.PinUpsForVets.com, and reserve your copy today! Shannon can be found in November—so after listening to today’s conversation, you can tell people, “I know her… kinda…”I highly encourage you to reach out to Shannon, regarding any questions covering breaking into show business, classes to start out with, We Are The Mighty, Diavolo, Pinups For Vets… or anything we’ve covered in the show.

On this Memorial Day weekend, Tom talks with Christian Lowe, the Editorial Director at We Are The Mighty (http://www.wearethemighty.com/). Plus, acknowledging that crazy is out there, and how do you know which states you can carry in while traveling.

It's common for the four major military branches — the Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Army — to work together, but seldom do we share missions with the Coast Guard. But it wasn't always this way. While the Coast Guard falls under the Department of Homeland Security, there have been instances when it fell under the Department of Defense. In actuality, the U.S. Coast Guard gets passed around a lot. In addition to the DoD, it has also fallen under the Department of Treasury, the Department of Transportation, and the Department of the Interior. So, it isn't hard to imagine why some service members get confused when it comes to the Coast Guard. For this episode of the Mandatory Fun podcast, we invited fellow coastie and We Are The Mighty contributor Mary-Elizabeth Pratt to answer questions about the Coast Guard we've always wanted answers to but were too afraid to ask for fear of looking stupid.

Firearms technology has advanced by leaps and bounds over the last 20 years. While civilians and law enforcement have taken advantage of new designs, the military hasn't been as quick to adjust. In this episode of the Mandatory Fun podcast we discuss the military’s plans to find a pistol replacement, the role of today’s battle rifles, and why ammo matters. Hosted by: Blake Stilwell: Air Force veteran and Managing Editor Tracy Woodward: Benevolent smartass and Social Media coordinator Orvelin Valle (AKA O.V.): Navy veteran and Podcast Producer Guest: Christian Lowe: Executive Editor at We Are The Mighty

With the conflicts in the Middle East and America’s tumultuous relationships with Russia and China, it’s not hard to imagine the final chapter in the World War trilogy. While fighting a conflict on the World War scale won’t be fun, there’s sure to be plenty of fireworks. Luckily, America and NATO-affiliated countries have prepared for such a scenario. In this episode of the We Are The Mighty podcast, we discuss which American forces will be the first on the scene when World War III erupts.

Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS) can be a debilitating condition and often referred to as the silent killer of veterans. Alarmed by the 22 veteran suicides per day statistic, Jake Clark founded Save A Warrior, a warrior-led healing experience to save active duty service members, veterans, and first responders from committing suicide and improve their lives. In this episode of the We Are The Mighty podcast Jake Clark and Raychad Vannatta—Save A Warrior's executive director—stop by to discuss their mission and tactics for curbing PTS.

The thin line between brilliant and crazy cliché couldn't be truer than for the generals and admirals in this entertaining episode of the We Are The Mighty podcast. While they accomplished incredible feats and heroics on the battlefield, they have another side the history books leave out. Hosted by: Logan Nye: Army veteran and associate editor Blake Stilwell: Air Force veteran and managing editor Tracy Woodward: Benevolent smartass and Social Media coordinator Orvelin Valle (AKA O.V.): Navy veteran and Social Media editor

New York Times bestselling author Sebastian Junger dropped by We Are The Mighty to discuss his latest book “Tribe.” Here’s what the publisher says about the book: Through combining history, psychology, and anthropology, “Tribe” explores what we can learn from tribal societies about loyalty, belonging, and the eternal human quest for meaning. It explains the irony that—for many veterans as well as civilians—war feels better than peace, adversity can turn out to be a blessing, and disasters are sometimes remembered more fondly than weddings or tropical vacations. “Tribe” explains why we are stronger when we come together, and how that can be achieved even in today’s divided world.

Gunnery Sgt. Carlos Hathcock is a Marine Corps legend and one of the most lethal snipers in history. His incredible true-life war stories are the stuff Hollywood movies are made of. In this episode of the We Are The Mighty podcast we talk about his sniper duels, that time he crawled two miles to kill a Vietnamese general, and more. Don't miss this episode of a real American badass.
