    Oscar Mike Radio – 441 – Margo Lapointe – 22 Zero

    I take great pride in sharing stories of individuals who, despite not having served in the military, find a sense of purpose in advocating for those who have served our country. One such individual is Margo Lapointe, a nonprofit executive and founder of an innovative school model. This discussion centers on Margo's advocacy for military children and their families, with a particular emphasis on mental health support and community building. Margo shares her journey into veteran advocacy, her experiences in the nonprofit sector, and her initiatives aimed at equipping military children with resilience and coping skills. Both Margo and I are currently involved with 22 Zero, an organization dedicated to healing individuals suffering from PTSD. Margo serves as the Director of Development, while I hold the position of Ambassador. Together, we are committed to the mission of 22 Zero. The episode underscores the importance of civilian involvement in supporting veterans and highlights the critical need for mental health education and resources for military families. For more information, please visit www.22zero.org. I extend my sincere gratitude to Margo for sharing her insights during our conversation.

    Oscar Mike Radio - 436 – Donald Jefferies - I Could Have Been One

    This episode and the book “I Could Have Been One” are part history lessons and part biography, so my reading experience was different. After reading “I Could Have Been One,” by Navy veteran and author Donald Jeffries, I had questions. These ranged from what our country was like to what it may become. Jeffries shares his military experiences, reflections on socialism and communism, and his return to the Christian faith. The discussion covers historical events like the Maddox incident, the impact of political ideologies on society, and the suppression of religious groups in communist regimes. Donald emphasizes the importance of understanding history to grasp current political climates. The episode aims to educate listeners on these complex topics through Jeffries' unique insights. You can purchase “I Could Have Been One” from Amazon (https://a.co/d/6QzftbD). Thank you for talking with me, Donald!
