Tony served in the Navy and started his Veterans’ Advocacy in 2013.
He rides his motorcycle across the United States to bring comfort to Gold Star Families.
When Tony connects with Gold Star Families the time spent lets them know that they are not forgotten. If possible Tony will use the support given to the Gold Star Foundation to assist families where needed.
This conversation is another example of a Veteran taking what he has and using it to bring comfort to others. Gold Star Foundation is a non-profit and is funded through donations. Consider supporting Tony today.

I would like to tell you that all of these are easy, and I have this down to science. However, my systems were acting up and I had a limited window to talk with him. There were people around me making sure my internet was up and I was apprehensive because I wanted to provide Aaron with a great experience.
I shouldn’t have worried at all. Just like E.O.D. Fudge, Aaron is smooth all the way through, and his story reminded me of how amazing people who have served in the military are and the power of resilience.
Aaron joined the Navy as a chef. That’s right, he cooked for sailors in the Navy and his love of cooking helped him excel. He wanted more so he left the Navy and joined the Army as an E.O.D Technician. Being an E.O.D Technician gave Aaron a renewed sense of purpose. He was injured protecting others and it changed his life.
After his injury, and separation, Aaron used his love of cooking to start making fudge. People liked it so much that he started selling it and so E.O.D. (Extra Ordinary Delights) Fudge was born. I can tell you that it is a good thing that I don’t live near Aaron because I would be camped out in his backyard so I could help with quality control. His creations are that good.
Go to https://eodfudge.com/ to learn about Aaron’s story and order some great fudge! Thank you for talking with me Aaron and showing us daily resiliency in action.

get an email about a book written about a story during the Vietnam War. What is different about this book is it was written by someone who never served in the Vietnam War or the military. Dr. Reaves wrote about her father, U.S. Navy Corpsman Larry Goss who lost his life in the Vietnam War. She wanted to honor her father and the Marines he died protecting. This book does exactly that, and I would encourage you to read it. This Memorial Day, take some time to understand the true cost of freedom by what is lost protecting what we have. You can get “Kiss Lori for Me” on Amazon. Or go to https://www.kissloriforme.com/ to learn more. Thank you Dr. Reaves for this labor of love.

The first thing one notices is the smile. It is genuine, yet inquisitive. The kind of smile that puts you at ease. Unusual for me, but I was a bit uneasy. Dr. Ki Magee was one of Gina Alderman’s long-time military friends. I wanted to be sure everything went well as we talked about the Rugged Warrior Healing Coalition Retreat starting on Thursday, May 18th, 2023.
As it turns out, my concerns were unfounded as we began to talk.
Dr. Magee enlisted in the Navy and then became an officer in the Medical Service Corps. Along the way, she met people who invested in her, including Gina Alderman, and she never stopped going after her goals. Her Navy career has had a lasting positive influence on her life. Getting out of the Navy, Ki never stopped looking at ways to gain knowledge and understanding and then share that through coaching.
At the Rugged Warrior Healing Coalition Retreat, Dr. Magee is a co-facilitator that will be coaching and supporting Gina. I appreciated how Gina’s investment in Ki has now come full circle.
To connect with Dr. Magee about her coaching services, go to her LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-ki-magee/

Jenna Carlton and I met through “The Coalition”. It is a group of Veteran Podcasters and we support each other. She had me on her show, “The Millennial Veteran” and I was happy to return the honor.
Serving in the U.S. Navy, Jenna did Weather Service as her Military Occupational Specialty. She got out and started life as a wife and mother but felt disconnected from the kind of life she had in the Navy.
The Millennial Veteran is her way to connect with younger Veterans now. Jenna wants to network and build relationships with Veterans coming out of the military instead of waiting for a Veteran to come to traditional places. Every Sunday night, you can go to @themillennialveteran on Instagram on Sundays at 9 PM EST, where she hosts Vet Chats.
Check out Jenna’s Link Tree (https://linktr.ee/themillennialveteran) for everything about @themillennialveteran. Thank you, Jenna, for talking with me!
