Fireside Chats, Episode 78: Helping the Enlisted (Patreon)

Here in America (and elsewhere on the planet), we have a really terrible habit of sending our brave men and women to fight in dangerous conflicts, but not sufficiently being there for them when they return home. Today's guest, Zack Gobie, has dedicated his life to trying to bridge this unfortunate divide, and he's doing so with The Salvation Army, the world famous, 150+ year old charity that does one thing, and one thing only: Helps the down-and-out. Zack was once such veteran that needed assistance, and the Salvation Army's Veteran Employment Service came to his aid. Now he works on their behalf to help those who find themselves in a similar position he was in, seeking educational and job opportunities for people who risked their lives on our behalf. Seems there's some good in this world, after all.

Note: Due to Sacred Symbols being posted a day later than usual this week, I figured I'd put up Fireside Chats in its place. Everything will be back to normal (schedule-wise; nothing is otherwise normal around here) beginning next week. Enjoy!
