The Jordan Effect

The Jordan Effect is a veteran-run podcast that gives veterans and their families a voice — a place to share their experiences, stories, and feelings, and to bridge the gap between veterans and the community they came home to. Veterans and their families carry things most civilians could never understand. Losing a battle buddy. Losing a son, a daughter, or a parent to war — and never seeing them again. I'm David Jordan, a U.S. Army Sergeant and combat medic, an Iraq War veteran. I came home with PTSD, depression, and eventually homelessness. I know what it feels like to be invisible. That's why I started this show: real conversations with veterans and their families, told honestly, in their own words — so no veteran ever feels forgotten. You don't have to have served to listen. You just have to be willing to hear someone's story. Because one story can be the reason somebody finally opens up and gets help. Listen, share it with one person who needs to hear it, and remember: YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN.
