Each Sunday evening for nearly four years, Pundit Review has paid tribute to the troops by telling their stories on Boston’s talk station WRKO. The Someone You Should Know radio collaboration began as an extension of Matt Burden’s series at Blackfive, the #1 military blog. Matt Burden started this series with us on the radio and now Bruce McQuain, a veteran of the Vietnam War who served his country for 28 years in the U.S. Army, joins us each week with a new story to tell. Bruce does an incredible job and brings a perspective and understanding to these stories that we could never match. It is our honor to welcome him to the show every Sunday evening at 9pm.
Today, I extend my sincere gratitude to every family that has a veteran in it. One thing I’ve learned doing this show, if there is a soldier in the family, the entire family is serving, and sacrificing.
Below are just a few of the incredible stories we have heard over the years.
My unforgettable visit to Walter Reed Army Medical Center, where I interviewed wounded warriors, their families and doctors.
