In this episode of Danger Close, Jack is honored to sit down with a man who has not only touched lives through the screen but has been a tireless advocate for our nation’s veterans and their families - Gary Sinise. Known to many for his portrayal of Lt. Dan in the film Forest Gump, Gary’s connection to the veteran community is far more than a role. For over 40 years, he has stood side by side with those who have served, working with local Vietnam veterans, supporting the Disabled American Veterans organization, and founding the Gary Sinise Foundation to serve our country’s defenders, first responders, Gold Star families, and those in need. His dedication only intensified after 9/11, becoming a lifelong crusade to give back to those who sacrifice so much for the nation. Today, Gary shares the most personal of stories – the tragic loss of his son Mac, who passed away in early 2024 from Chordoma, a rare form of bone cancer. Gary talks about Mac’s strength, his remarkable creativity, and the legacy he left behind through his music. After Mac’s passing, Gary discovered a treasure trove of his son’s compositions - some songs known to the world, like those from the Gary Sinise Foundation documentary Always Do A Little More, and others Mac had tucked away, as of yet unheard. Out of this discovery, Gary has started a new chapter for Mac’s music: Resurrection & Revival: Part Two. Join Gary and Jack as they dive deep into the heart of a father’s loss, the power of legacy, and the importance of serving and sacrificing for others. This is a conversation about resilience, honor, and how love can drive us to create lasting impact.

Rabbi Arnie Resnicoff’s life took a fateful turn on October 23, 1983, when he found himself amidst the chaos and devastation of the Beirut barracks bombing, a bombing that took the lives of 241 U.S. servicemembers in one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history. Rabbi Resnicoff was in Beirut to conduct a memorial service for Staff Sgt. Allen Soifert, a Jewish Marine killed by a sniper. Due to his observance of the Jewish Sabbath, he remained in Beirut following the service. When the bomb exploded, he was in a nearby building and immediately rushed to the site, becoming one of the first rescuers on the scene. Rabbi Resnicoff spent the entire day pulling survivors from the rubble and providing comfort to the dying. During the rescue, he lost his yarmulke, and Father George Pucciarelli crafted him a new one from the camouflage cover of a helmet. His actions that day were later chronicled in a letter to his wife and mother and in a report used by President Reagan. Today, Rabbi Resnicoff shares powerful memories of October 23, 1983, in the last episode of our limited series: Beirut Survivors. Rabbi Arnold E. Resnicoff began his naval career as an enlisted man in the reserves during high school and served as a Navy line officer in Vietnam, where his ship was the first to enter Cambodia in 1970. After Vietnam and a stint with Naval Intelligence in Europe, he left the Navy to study at rabbinical school. Returning to the Navy Chaplain Corps, he served on active duty for nearly 25 years, earning the Defense Superior Service Medal for his work with military and civilian leaders throughout Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Rabbi Resnicoff also served as the National Director of Interreligious Affairs for the American Jewish Committee and continues to be a consultant on interfaith values and interreligious affairs. His life of service, both in and out of uniform, reflects a deep commitment to faith, humanity, and the enduring bonds forged in moments of profound challenge.

Dr. Jimmy Ware’s life took a dramatic turn on October 23, 1983, when he found himself at the center of the medical rescue efforts following the Beirut barracks bombing, a bombing that took the lives of 241 U.S. servicemembers in one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history. As one of two dentists stationed in Beirut, Dr. Ware played a critical role in the aftermath of the attack. On the morning of the bombing, he and Dr. Gil Bigelow managed the entire medical response, drawing on their preparedness from a mass casualty plan devised by their friend, Dr. John Hudson.  Later that day, Dr. Ware visited the bomb site and grasped the enormity of the devastation. His meticulous work, including the recovery of dental records from the ruins, proved essential in the identification of the fallen. Today, Dr. Ware shares his poignant and powerful story as part of our limited series: Beirut Survivors. A native of Savannah, Georgia, Dr. Jimmy Ware earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Emory University in 1978 and a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the Medical College of Georgia in 1982. Upon graduating, he joined the Fleet Marine Force, 2nd Dental Battalion at Camp Lejeune, NC, and later deployed to Lebanon with the 24th Marine Amphibious Unit as part of a Multinational Peacekeeping Mission. Over the course of his distinguished career, Dr. Ware received numerous decorations, including the Legion of Merit, Bronze Star, Navy Meritorious Service Medal, and Combat Action Ribbon, among others. His contributions in Beirut, both before and after the bombing, demonstrate his deep commitment to his teammates and his profession, leaving an indelible mark on those with whom he served.  SPONSORS TARGETED: BEIRUT – The first in Jack’s new non-fiction series https://www.officialjackcarr.com/books/targeted-beirut/ Bravo Company Manufacturing: Visit us on the web at http://jackcarr.co/bcm and on Instagram @BravoCompanyUSA.com  SIG: Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the legendary SIG SAUER P226.

Don Howell’s life took a profound turn on October 23, 1983, when he survived the devastating Beirut barracks bombing. As a young Navy corpsman, Don was stationed in Beirut where his close friend, Bryan Earle, tragically lost his life. The night before the attack that would take the lives of 241 U.S. servicemen in one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history, Don said the Lord’s Prayer before transferring to the basement of the BLT building, where he narrowly escaped death. Buried under the rubble, a chunk of concrete hit Don in the right eye, leaving him blind in that eye to this day. Despite the darkness and chaos, he followed a beam of light and dug himself out. He was evacuated to Germany where he was awarded a Purple Heart by General Paul Kelly. Don’s story of survival is a testament to resilience and faith, and today, he shares that powerful journey with us as part of our limited series: Beirut Survivors. Don Howell is a retired U.S. Navy Hospital Corpsman, Chief Petty Officer, who served 22 years in the U.S. Navy, with postings in various critical medical roles across the globe.

Join Jack and Peter as they trace Peter’s path into journalism and writing and discuss his dedication to exposing government corruption. The conversation dives deep into the dangers posed by complex motivations within the government.

The episode reveals how just 1% of the population is enough to create a significant impact, touching on the secret cognitive warfare waged through platforms like TikTok and the social engineering witnessed during the pandemic. Peter is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Blood Money: Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans, Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America's Progressive Elite, Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends, and Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich.

RED SKY MOURNING is available now!  In this last installment of BONUS episodes, I invite you to listen to Chapter 2 of RED SKY MOURNING read by Ray Porter. Thank you to all the readers and listeners who have trusted me with their time and joined James Reece on these adventures.  THE TERMINAL LIST was a story of revenge without constraint. TRUE BELIEVER was one of violent redemption. SAVAGE SON explored the dark side of man through the dynamic of hunter and hunted. THE DEVIL’S HAND looked at the U.S. through the eyes of the enemy, an enemy that had been watching, learning, adapting, and applying lessons from our past two decades of combat to their battle plans. IN THE BLOOD was a sniper-centric book of violent resolutions. ONLY THE DEAD was a novel of truth and consequences. RED SKY MOURNING focuses on the rapidly expanding role of technology in conflict, but at its base it is a story about loyalty. Will this be the last book in the James Reece Terminal List series?

In just a few short days the 7th novel in the James Reece Terminal List series is coming in hot! On this BONUS episode, I invite you to listen to Chapter 1 of Red Sky Mourning read by Ray Porter. When it comes to writing a novel, my goal is to honor the story.  I never consider what is “popular” or if shorter or longer chapters are “in” or if I’m going to alienate anyone because of what I am writing – instead it is all about story.  By honoring the story I am respecting the reader or listener who is trusting me with time they will never get back.  It is my responsibility as an author to constantly hone my craft to deliver the best story I possibly can.  From the initial spark of an idea to the final manuscript, my heart and soul goes into every word.  Even as the deadline looms, I continue to scrutinize every chapter and scene, making refinements right up until the very last moment, to ensure nothing was left on the field.  If you already listened to Chapter 1 when I released it in December, you may notice some slight differences in this latest version.  I am constantly striving to enhance the narrative, deepen connections to characters, and sharpen the plot —even if only by a degree.  Enjoy the listen!  Buy the audiobook https://bit.ly/RedSkyMourningAudio Order your copy of RED SKY MOURNING, HERE.
