    One Big Happy Army Family

    The Army is a family—and just like with all families, communication is key.

Hosts LTG (Ret.) Leslie C. Smith and SMA (Ret.) Dan Dailey sit down with Dee Geise, the Director of the Prevention, Resilience and Readiness Directorate, to discuss how these Groups continue to improve the lives of Army spouses, how to find a proper work-life balance, and to compare their German experiences—and their fluency of the language.   Guest: Ms. Dee A. Geise, Director, Prevention, Resilience, and Readiness Directorate, Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, G-9, Headquarters Department of the Army Washington, D.C.   Has a member of the Army positively changed your life? Now is your chance to thank them publicly with a shoutout via our Hooah Hotline and have it possibly appear on an upcoming episode of AUSA’s Army Matters podcast!   AUSA’s Army Matters podcast can also be heard on Wreaths Across America Radio on Monday at 8 pm Eastern  You can find Wreaths Across America Radio on the iHeart Radio app, the Audacy app, and the TuneIn app. Search the word Wreath.    Donate: If you are interested in supporting AUSA’s educational programs, such as this podcast, please visit www.ausa.org/donate.

Michael “Tony” Grinston took over the helm of the group earlier this year, and he’s making changes that’ll take the organization to new heights. Hosts LTG (Ret.) Leslie C. Smith and SMA (Ret.)

    Once-Classified Con Artists Receive the Spotlight

    Inflatable tanks. Phony uniforms. Fake radio traffic. In early 1944, the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops, known as the “Ghost Army,” was founded, and its ragtag collection of artists, Soldiers and engineers oversaw almost two-dozen “deception missions” that saved the lives of an estimated 30,000 Soldiers. In March of this year, their work was recognized with the Congressional Gold Medal. Hosts LTG (Ret.) Leslie C. Smith and SMA (Ret.) Dan Dailey sit down with author and historian Rick Beyer to discuss the story and exploits of the Ghost Army and his decade-long journey to see that the unit received the Gold Medal—and then they are joined by a surviving Ghost Army Soldier, PVT (Ret.) Seymour Nussenbaum. Sadly, Mr. Nussenbaum passed away shortly after our recording. He died on October 5, 2024, at the age of 101.   Guests: Rick Beyer, Author, The Ghost Army of World War II: How One Top-Secret Unit Deceived the Enemy with Inflatable Tanks, Sound Effects, and Other Audacious Fakery PVT (Ret.)

    A Memorial Day Miracle at “The Wall”

    On Mother’s Day, 1968, Army Medic SPC Allen Hoe watched 18 of his friends die in battle during the Vietnam War. In the five decades since then, he has devoted his life to helping the families of those fallen Soldiers and the Army community. And it was at a 2005 Memorial Day event in Washington that he met a nurse who returned the favor by giving Allen peace after the death of Allen’s own son, who died during a deployment to Iraq in 2005. Hosts LTG (Ret.) Leslie C. Smith and SMA (Ret.) Dan Dailey sit down with now-CASA Hoe to talk about his Vietnam experiences, the bravery of his son, and about the history—and beauty—of his native Hawaii.   Guest: Allen Hoe, Civilian Aides to the Secretary of the Army (CASA) and American Gold Star Father   Audio Clip Credit: Courtesy of the National Memorial Day Concert on PBS Capital Concerts.

    Finding Strength Through Tragedy: The Gold Star Mothers’ Story

    Almost 100 years ago, a mother grieving the loss of her son in battle brought together other mothers who were coping with similar losses; in the process, she started American Gold Star Mothers, Inc. Over the past century, the organization has grown and continues to aid mothers—and families—through the grieving process, inspiring its members to continue a life of service. Hosts LTG (Ret.) Leslie C. Smith and SMA (Ret.) Dan Dailey sit down with Gold Star Mothers President Patti Elliott and new member Nichole Jackson Chilton to discuss what the organization is currently doing, the brave exploits of their respective sons, and to discover how one of them influenced the recent renaming of Fort Bragg to Fort Liberty.   Guests:   Patti Elliot, Gold Star Mothers National President Nichole Jackson Chilton, Gold Star Mother Member   Has a member of the Army positively changed your life? Now is your chance to thank them publicly with a shoutout via our Hooah Hotline and have it possibly appear on an upcoming episode of AUSA’s Army Matters podcast!   AUSA’s Army Matters podcast can also be heard on Wreaths Across America Radio on Monday at 8 pm Eastern  You can find Wreaths Across America Radio on the iHeart Radio app, the Audacy app, and the TuneIn app. Search the word Wreath.    Donate: If you are interested in supporting AUSA’s educational programs, such as this podcast, please visit www.ausa.org/donate.
