In this heartfelt episode, Jordan sits down with the legendary Uncle Jack, who turns 102 this week. Born in 1923 in Glendale, California, Uncle Jack shares the vibrant memories of a century-long life, his childhood, his passion for animals and nature, and his reflections on love, war, and loss. From climbing oak trees and raising coyotes to treating malaria patients in the Australian outback during WWII, Uncle Jack's stories are raw, whimsical, and deeply moving. He opens up about regret, resilience, and the reality of outliving loved ones, all while reminding us of the healing power of art, adventure, and connection with the natural world. We talk about his pet ring-tailed possum, his “backyard zoo,” and what it's like to watch the world change from dirt roads to megacities. His advice? Eat dark chocolate and honey, never stop drawing, and find something you love, because passion keeps you alive. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

As the nation observes Memorial Day, many Americans pause to honor the men and women who gave their lives in service. For Patricia Bowers of Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, that solemn remembrance is a year-round mission. Bowers has made it her life’s work to honor the veterans of World War II, particularly those of the 17th Airborne Division—where her late father, Thomas Miller, served. What began as a personal tribute has become a powerful example of living patriotism, community service, and intergenerational memory Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In observance of this upcoming Memorial Day, I dug way back into the vault of old presentations and pulled out this 2008 tribute to Iberia Parish WWII veterans for a special event at the old Sliman Theater in my hometown of New Iberia, Louisiana. The event was a grand affair, in a pack house full of veterans and their families and hosted by the Iberia Cultural Resources Association. The audio quality is not the best, but the message of gratitude to this great generation still rings loud and clear today. Unfortunately, like so many communities across the nation, there aren't many WWII veterans left. But events like this remind us all of their sacrifice, courage, and contributions to our way of life.

Millie Dunn Veasey's family knew about her accomplishments as a civil rights activist but they didn't know the full extent of her military service until late last year.

WRAL's Destinee Patterson talked to her family about her life of service.

Send us a textJoin us for an enlightening conversation with Dr. Mitch Maki, President of the Go For Broke National Education Center, as we uncover the enduring legacy of Japanese American veterans from World War II. Discover the powerful story behind the phrase "Go For Broke" and how it became the rallying cry for the brave 100th/442nd Regimental Combat Team. These soldiers, who faced fierce battles abroad and prejudice at home, became the most decorated unit of their size in U.S. military history. Dr. Maki shares his lifelong passion for preserving their stories, driven by his own childhood experiences in Los Angeles.We journey through America's past mistakes, examining the internment of Japanese Americans and its painful legacy. Reflecting on the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, we discuss how acknowledging these injustices can inform our approach to contemporary issues of race and political leadership. There's a yearning for the bipartisan cooperation once exemplified by leaders like Tip O'Neill and Ronald Reagan, and we explore how their spirit of unity can guide us in today's polarized world. By learning from history, we aim to foster a more cohesive society.This episode also highlights the innovative ways the Go For Broke organization inspires civic engagement among young Americans. Through storytelling initiatives like the Torchbearers program and the Go For Broke Journalism Institute, students connect historical events with modern-day issues, cultivating pride and a commitment to positive change. From fashion collaborations to journalism projects, we showcase the transformative power of these narratives in nurturing a deeper understanding of loyalty, sacrifice, and civic duty across generations.

In this episode, Ralph Renzulli interviews Joe Mastrocco, a St. Johnsville resident and WWII Veteran who served two years in the Navy at Pearl Harbor. Before COVID, Renzulli had started a series of interviews with Little Falls Vietnam Veterans. The show was produced by The Creative Outpost and was filmed at the Little Falls Library in the China room. Thirteen episodes were completed before the program was shuttered. Initially, it was only Little Falls Vets, but he thought if someone was willing to do it, why not Ilion, Mohawk, Herkimer, Dolgeville, Fort Plain, or Canajoharie? "Anyone willing to do it," he stated. Renzulli says he intends to expand it to any Veteran - from World War II through Afghanistan. "I don't know how many people we have around here who have participated in those wars, but there have to be quite a few." --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/studio25/support

On the 80th anniversary of D-Day, one of the most pivotal moments of the 2nd World War, host Alex Pierson is joined by someone who wants to make sure the stories of our veterans are forever remembered. Eric Brunt, a videographer and documentarian has a goal to interview, document and properly archive the stories of Canada's few remaining WWII veterans. A goal that is extremely important, but also has a very tight deadline as the veterans are all either entering or surpassing 100 years of age. Alex and Eric talk about why he chose to take on this increasingly time-sensitive task, how he got these veterans to open up about the darkest times in their lives and why all Canadians can benefit from hearing their stories.

One of our greatest natural treasures are our own people. People we know and love. Some of those people have lived extraordinary lives and done heroic things to ensure the freedoms we and others have now. Today Patty welcomes an amazing young person, Tyler Boland to the show,  who started a project called 'Keeping History Alive' aiming to interview World War II veterans to preserve their stories.  His interest was sparked by his great grandfather's WWII memorabilia and has since grown into a mission to capture as many veterans' stories as possible. With the dwindling number of WWII veterans sadly becoming a reality, Tyler's project has gained national attention, leading him to plan more interviews and a YouTube channel to share these important narratives.

Andrew Biggio was excited to show his neighbor, a WWII veteran, the M1 Garand rifle he had recently purchased. The weapon was the most common rifle used in WWII, and Biggio thought his elderly neighbor would appreciate holding the gun. “When I put that rifle into his hands and he raised it into his shoulder and started waving it around the room and pointing and smiling, and we talked about the Battle of Okinawa for like three hours,” Biggio, a Marine veteran himself, recounts. Biggio was in awe of the stories his elderly neighbor had just shared with him. The rifle had not only triggered memories in the veteran's mind, but acted like a microphone, propelling the man to describe his war experiences in detail. Biggio asked his neighbor to sign the rifle becasue he wanted to remember the stories he had just been told, and this gave Biggio the idea to find other WWII veterans and ask them to sign the M1 Garand rifle. Today, “I have 320 names on that rifle,” Biggio says. “You can't even see the wooden stalk. The whole rifle's full of white ink names.” But the majority of the soldiers who have held the rifle have done much more than signed it, they described their war stories in detail while grasping the weapon, stories which Biggio has compiled into two book. His first book, “The Rifle: Combat Stories from America's Last WWII Veterans, Told Through an M1 Garand,” was released in 2021 but could not hold all veteran stories. In September, Biggio released the project's second edition, “The Rifle 2: Back to the Battlefield.” Biggio joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to share some of the stories of the WWII veterans he has had the privilege of meeting and writing about.
