Last night, we heard a number of veterans respond to what is happening in Afghanistan right now. Listen to these vets share their thoughts about the Fall of Kabul, and how this reminds us of the Fall of Saigon in 1975. Their feelings of passion, hurt, confusion, and anger resonate with us all.
We encourage you to head to our Facebook page to watch last evening’s livestream in its entirety. https://www.facebook.com/veteransbreakfastclub/videos/1661816710875833
We thank Michael Wattam, Donn Nemchick, Hughes Turner, Ben Wright, Rick Weber, Larry Woods, Derek Sansone Jeff Witherel, and Larry Googins for their stories and their perspectives.
