I enjoy talking to civilians on Oscar Mike Radio. It reminds me why I served and that there are people who love America. I got to talk with Andy Ross and his for America clear as the sky over his farm in Tennessee.
In some ways, Andy reminds me of a lot of us Veterans. He has reinvented himself several times. From starting out doing hunting shows on TV, music production, and his company, American Rebel, Andy has a can-do spirit that will inspire you.
I listened to All American Heart, and I think you would agree that song represents America. Yes, we have our faults and flaws, but if you are an American with an American heart regardless of where you are then you know that this country is a great place to be.

During a Cocktails in the War Room Family Zoom Meeting and my good friend David, “Vito” Brito says, “Travis, Jesse James Dupree would be a good guest for your show. He has done a lot for Veterans.” I knew this to be true because when I went to Tennessee for then-State Commander Brian Walker’s Fundraiser, I was told that Jesse was a true supporter of the VFW and Veterans. I reached out and spoke with Lynn Rolf, Director of Programs at Veterans of Foreign Wars, (He is going to be on #315), and then I had a time scheduled to talk with the man himself.
Jackyl was taking the stage by storm when I was in the Marine Corps. We would play “Headed for Destruction” when Charlie Battery rolled out. We all knew what Jackyl was about and that was just fine by us.
Talking with Jesse, I realized that his desire to help Veterans comes from a real place. He talked about his work with the VFW’s Unmet Needs program and how it impacts Veterans’ lives. Jesse said that everyone can do something that can help others or Veterans. He has taken elements from Jackyl, American Outlaw Spirits MIXER, and Might Loud, and used everything to help Veterans in need. I believe that is the lesson. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you are in life. I learned that anyone has the capability to make a change.

I really enjoy getting to talk with artists. In a way artists, like Veterans, have to adapt, overcome and in some cases re-invent themselves.
Savannah Rae is no exception and I wanted to find out what makes her A Typical Texas Girl. She also loves the military. Savannah comes from a military family. Her father was a Marine and grandparents service in the Marine Corps and Army. Savannah has sang the Star Spangled Banner at several military functions. I have spent a lot of time in Texas, and it is truly a place like no other.
Getting to talk with Savannah about her musical journey and love for America is one of the best parts of doing Oscar Mike Radio.
You can find out more about Savannah by going to https://thesavannahrae.com/. Thanks for talking with me Savannah!

It is always a good to get to talk with artists who are not military. In many ways artists have to adapt, overcome and stay in their journey to attain success. Dariann Leigh is a great example of this. Her latest single, “10,000 Miles” is about the challenges of having a loved one serving far away. The song is based on Dariann’s experiences and her deep love for America and our military. Talking with Dariann about her love for our country and wanting to honor those who serve is a stark contrast to seeing people with a different viewpoint get public attention. 10,0000 Miles is Dariann’s way to emphasize that honor of those who serve our country. You can got to https://www.dariannleigh.com/ to get all the intel on Dariann and what she has going on this year. Thanks for talking with me Dariann and I am working on Tik-Tok so I don’t see so ancient!
