A new generation of Tennessee veterans

Listen
Share:

On today’s show, we honor those who’ve served their country by welcoming three combat veterans from Middle Tennessee, all from the decade after 9/11.

A cook. An HR specialist. And an intelligence officer. It takes more than the infantry to go to war. Wisdom from our neighbors who answered the call of duty and were forever changed. 

This episode was produced by Josh Deepan.
