New podcast episode is live! S1E5- Vietnam: The Stories We Carry Bernie and Andy recount their experiences in Vietnam, from the brutal ambushes at Con Thien to the heartbreak of losing brothers in arms. They reflect on moments of unimaginable courage, loss, and survival—including the heroic actions of Sgt. Singleton and the emotional aftermath of July 2nd. Through their stories, we gain insight into the trauma they carried home, their journey toward healing, and the unbreakable bond they found in the Brotherhood of 1/9.
