My very hardworking friend Brendan Piper came on and we dove into his usually path into  military service and some transition issues. We also took the gloves off and tackled some serious issues in the MIL/Vet community. 

Brenden even interviewed me which was a welcomed surprise. 

Happy Veterans Day to all veterans! #WisconsinVeteran #VeteransDay ??

Mr. John Foss former NSA agent, Army linguist, Afghanistan Veteran. We also talked about his childhood, college, and other interesting stories. 
 
John joins former member Brenden Piper as one of the founders of Desert Veterans of Wisconsin- Fox Valley Chapter. John loves helping veterans and military. He also is a very caring father and husband.  As well as a business owner and house flipper. 

John is a great role model for myself and other veterans that seek a great person to talk with and also just bullshit with. Glad I can call him a friend.  

I hope you all enjoy this episode! ??

Afghanistan: Remembering the Fallen of 2019

By STARS AND STRIPESPublished: January 1, 2020

Note: This article has been corrected.
Twenty-two American service members were killed in Afghanistan in 2019, the highest number since NATO combat operations in the country ended at the end of 2014.
Since then, the United States has continued a separate counterterrorism mission.
All but four of the military fatalities in Afghanistan in 2019 were combat-related.
The deaths came as Washington held direct peace talks with the Taliban aimed at the ending the war, the U.S.’s longest, throughout most of the year. The talks are ongoing.

Roughly 13,000 American troops were deployed to Afghanistan at the start of 2020.
