2025-04-16 16:57:25 +0000 UTCMy grandfather, who fought in WWII, but passed before I was old enough to have real conversations with him. Probably not the historic figure you’re looking for.

Washington searched and strived for something bigger in life. He was truly protected in battle by god. Even through all his inconsistencies he persevered his discipline and dignity till the end.

2025-04-16 15:13:03 +0000 UTCChurchill is an amazing character. If you only have 1 book to read on Churchill and WWII make it “The Splendid and the Vile”. The government gave out weekly diaries to citizens, an ingenious way to get feedback from his constituents. The book weaves these diary entries with the day to day life of Churchill and his Cabinet.

2025-04-16 15:06:23 +0000 UTCLoved these episodes, thank you!! So cool to hear you’ve followed Dave’s principles with SRS…that’s no small feat, well done Shawn. Would you consider having Austin von Letkemann, also known as Mandatory Funday on YT, on the show? He’s hilarious, family guy & really helping military members and families. He’s Army & AD.
