Thanks to my wife, I let this episode breathe. I wanted to release it immediately. It is all emotion. My voice cracks. While you can’t see them, tears fell. One of the men I look up to and have grown up with was shot. He could’ve lost his life. And he’s one of the good ones.

Listen to this and, if you take nothing from the episode, realize that we ALL want to make it home at the end of the day.

This is part one of two. On the next, you will hear the voice of my long time friend who survived this attack.
