Memorial Day 2018 – Spotlighting Borne the Battle

We are observing Memorial Day here in the states today. Throughout the long weekend there will be parades, services, celebrations and all sorts of events to remember those who died in service to our nation. We all know too well that it is not always easy to be a surviving vet and receive the help and services needed to thrive in our society. In honor of Memorial Day and our living vets, we wanted to share a podcast series produced by VAntage Point.
