The best way to learn history

The best way to learn history is from those who made it, not from a book pushing the agenda of the writer!!

Great History

This podcast is awesome because it really is just the Vet talking, telling his story. I could live without getting church in my ear for half the podcast - something I wasn’t trying to download - but that’s what forward and stop buttons are for. I love hearing vets tell their stories. Thanks to all of you out there!
