Join us as WE come together to see the issues and the needs of today’s HEROES, our veterans and first responders. WE will discuss the solutions and see the organizations that are boots on the ground as WE combat the silent, invisible and deadly enemies our HEROES are facing. WE are a grassroots, nonpartisan, nonprofit acting in the Mission to honor, empower and support those who have served. WE are the shock and awe in combating the silent, invisible and deadly enemies of our daily heroes, the First Responders and Veterans. Our goals come on many levels and forms as WE are raising awareness to those who do not know, WE are providing resources to those in need and WE provide the opportunities to those who are still interested in serving and/or have not had or taken the chance to serve before. WE are the beacon of hope for many to change their world through recalibration and rehabilitation. Our goals are to get our HEROES back into their families and communities. Happy Heroes create happy communities.

Joshua Holm from Steel Hope Foundation will be joining us with his spectacular journey to his new mission, created to build, equip, and empower others to be people who will continually BE STEEL,
Believe, Expand, Stand, Transform, Encourage, Enlighten, and Love around the world.
If you are not energized by his call to action - Shoot, Move and Communicate, and his enthusiasm for this mission then you need help yourself! He has so much passion for helping and supporting those who have served and he will not stop. This is a person who's motto is that if you don't have pain to work through you aren't working hard enough.

Strap on - find security
Shut up - get rid of excuses - stop using crutches

Stop focusing on your weaknesses!!

Frank Gonzales has a musical talent as well, and entertains us with some of his favorite songs … which he plays live! You can’t lose by opening up with “I Can Only Imagine”, which is how Frank opens every one of his gigs. He followed up with his version of putting it all in a “Nutshell” by Alice in Chains, another song that has great meaning to him. Frank finished the night sharing “Amarillo By Morning”, and does this one amazingly!

Episode 220 - THE PEOPLE'S PATRIOT PROJECT -- “What Does the Reflection in the Mirror Tell You?” 29 September 2024
Season 4 · Episode 220
Thursday, October 3, 2024 • Duration 01:19:47
It is the end of Suicide Awareness Month, and we will not stop combating this deadly enemy. There is no single answer, no single fool-proof therapy or counseling method that will keep this from happening. It will take all of us and we will need to work together to keep this demon at bay.
This is an episode that shares insights from William Stephens. From his beginnings in Desert Storm, with stories of his deployment as a forward observer, to where he is today, William Stephens shares his experiences and what led him to write his book, The Mirror. The Mirror delves into the lives of individuals grappling with various traumatic events, illnesses, and disorders, with the author personally navigating through post-traumatic stress disorder. It serves as an uplifting read for those battling their inner demons stemming from past traumas.
Stephens labels this work as therapeutic poetry, comprising simple verses and short stories aimed at guiding readers on a journey beyond the surface. Drawing heavily from personal experiences, particularly within the military and relationships, from childhood to the present day.
The Broken Mirror will be out soon - Halloween, which deals with post-service and how he is mending the relationships that were broken while he was gone. Stephens is a persistent person, and his perseverance is driven by the desire to get the word out and help others deal with things he has seen and experienced through service. The help he hopes to accomplish is not just for those who have served … it is for anyone who has PTSD they are dealing with.

Episode 219 - THE PEOPLE'S PATRIOT PROJECT: “Divided by Ignorance, United by Music” 22 September 2024 WGY6@6
Season 5 · Episode 219
Wednesday, September 25, 2024 • Duration 01:29:05
It is Suicide Awareness Month, and we need to be aware. There is no one answer, no one fool-proof therapy or counseling method that will keep this from happening. It will take all of us and we will need to work together to keep this demon at bay.
This is an episode that shares an amazing man’s walk with grace. Joel Grant Faulisi shares the story of his beginnings and where he is now. There are so many impacts caused by broken bonds, but a military brother or sister separation due to a disagreement in political or ideological differences can leave a void in one’s life. It is difficult enough to navigate life after serving, but the added stress of brotherhood gone south is what Joel confronts in this episode. As he is also a musician, Joel sums it all up in the phrase, divided by ignorance, united by music.
We also have some rocking music on this episode! The first song is I Bow My Head. This is a Patriotic song from Jack. The second song is When Doves Cry, which was a cover of a Prince song. Dedicated to the Minnesota part of the crew. The third song, Living A Lie, was written when he was taking some time off of music.

Episode 218 - THE PEOPLE'S PATRIOT PROJECT: “Like, What’s Your Jam” 15 September 2024 WGY6@6
Season 4 · Episode 218
Wednesday, September 18, 2024 • Duration 01:22:49
This is a very informational and inspirational episode. We are here with Deke Letson who runs the group Veterans Exploration Therapy. There is so much to this program, and the pride put into running this to make all trips come down to the fun and bonding. The best part, as Deke says, is when you run into some of those who have taken part in an adventure and you hear how it was the most exciting thing they have ever done. This was created out of a desire to help other veterans find their way without waiting for space or being on a cocktail of meds before getting some real help. Listen to Deke explain Like, What’s Your Jam, with a mix of his own story and how he came to found the Veterans Exploration Therapy group.
We also have some rocking music on this episode! The first song is Better Be Tough by John Hensley. Our guest was talking about soldiers doing dumb soldier stuff and this song came to mind as he did. This may even be fitting for the saying of the night, Like, Whats Your Jam. The second song is Irish Road by Mikele Buck. This song is a nod to “Route Irish,” about Baghdad Airport Road which is a 7.5 mile road between the green zone and Baghdad Airport. This is such a great song.

Episode 217: THE PEOPLE'S PATRIOT PROJECT: “You Can’t Have a Testimony Without the Test” 08 September 2024 WGY6@609 September 2024
Season 4 · Episode 217
Thursday, September 12, 2024 • Duration 01:38:23
This is a very sensitive episode. It will take you through the stories of two men who served, who each have a different story to tell about their experience with suicide after service. There is no single situation that is the same as anybody else’s, but there are people in front of you that want you to be here tomorrow.
We are here with Aaron Hudgins, the surviving spouse of SSG Jari J. Hudgins (US Army / Oklahoma Army National Guard as well as a 26-year veteran in the Oklahoma Army National Guard (AGR-Active Reserve Guard Reserve). Aaron has a lot to share, but in this episode he will delve into life’s extenuating circumstances after losing his wife to death from suicide. After his wife suffered a broken hip while training for her 3rd deployment at Fort Bliss Texas, she would be sent to the WTU at Fort Hood she was going to be medically retired. When she came home, she would die from suicide on 29 April 2018. She left behind 2 beautiful daughters and 3 stepsons. How she died wasn't a selfish act, she made a decision when facing an overwhelming enemy force, the enemy in her head in the form of depression, anxiety and PTSD.
We also have Emmanuel, also known as the musician, Romeo Vaughn. He’s gone through addiction and crisis and admittedly attempted to take his own life. He has had some transformations in life recently by giving his life to Jesus. His first song is one he recently wrote, named His Name Is Jesus. He has another song that was a Crowder cover. The song was All My Hope. After Romeo heads out, we picked out a song from the list of our artists that seems very fitting, Shannon Book with You Are Not Alone.

We had an amazing guest with Kevin Palmer! He has been on the show before, but he has been busy making changes and growing his business! It was so awesome to get back and catch up with him, and hear about what he has been working on. Kevin opens up and shares about the things that he puts in his songs, including some of the problems he has gone through and the realization that it is up to him to realize that only he is responsible for his own problems, and that is commendable. Kevin shares some of his best music on this episode. He had a new album out just last week called Missouri Rebel. He shared a few songs from the album and some of his older stuff. Summer Rain is the first one shared on this episode. This is one of the first songs he ever wrote. It’s about coming to a realization that only you are responsible for your problems. Then, we go into Dead Man Walking. This one is off of his new album and he’s got a video for it as well. Make sure you go to YouTube and check it out. Cotton Belt Queen is the 3rd song that he shared with us. This is an upbeat different feel off the new album. Every song tells a story and Kevin wanted to make sure that his album told different stories. This one definitely checks the box. www.Kevinpalmermusic.com

Season 4 · Episode 215
Saturday, August 31, 2024 • Duration 01:27:45
We had an amazing guest with Lauren Iozzio. Lauren hails from a family, especially her dad, that cares about taking care of people. She has worked her way into understanding the human brain in a way that she can help them with choices they make. Lauren has been in the field of service as an adult, and has also created a safe and relaxing space for others in her AirB&B called the BOHO HOBOs Hideaway, found in Lexington TX.
Hockett shares his music with us on this episode. Hockett was a Navy Corpsman in service for 4 years. We start the night off with the very first song he recorded. Talk about setting the bar high with 'Dotted Line'. They were in the studio for 14 hours trying to put something together. He went in with a completely different track to record and ended up leaving with this song on record. The next song was No One Else On Earth. This is a cover of a Judd's song that was done with Kimberley Meyer, another one of our former guests. This is on another level. What a heck of a job covering an iconic female voice in country music. Hockett and Kimberley Meyer are both signed with United Republic Records. Lastly, we get to hear 'Red Flags'. This song is about when you're in a relationship and things aren’t going well, but you stay anyways and won’t leave because “something” good is keeping you there. Hockett is currently working on putting together an album and putting the final touches on their 2025 tour. You can find them on Spotify and on YouTube and on WeP3 radio coming very soon.
