It's a poignant and important second hour today as Robin Spence of the Orange Heart Medal Foundation and Richard Jones of VFW Post 2771 visit the show.

Robin tells us about the foundation that seeks to honor Vietnam veterans who are still suffering effects from Agent Orange in the war -- and how they can be honored. Robin and Richard tell about an event at G.I. Joe's Living History Museum at Skinner's Bypass on Saturday to honor those heroes.

Jon, Jonathan and Bryan play a traditional Birthday Game, with nods to Kinston City Councilman and Kinston Teens founder Chris Suggs, Mrs. VIckie Tyndall, Colleen Kosinski, Brandy Burd and Lu Ann Myers Francis.

Episode 1096 (Hour 2): Robin Spence and Richard Jones

During the Vietnam War, the United States implemented a draft to bolster military forces. From 1965 to 1973, approximately 1.8 million men were conscripted into service, with many serving in combat roles in Southeast Asia. The controversial draft sparked protests and debates over its fairness and necessity. It impacted families and communities nationwide, leaving a lasting legacy on American society and the perception of military service during that era.

In this episode, we will delve into the gripping journey of Dad’s experiences after being drafted and embarking on basic training. Hear firsthand his accounts as he recounted the moment he received the call to serve and the trials he faced during the initial training days. As a part of the cache of items I found while helping clean out my dad’s garage, we will hear the first of many letters he wrote when he started his journey as a U.S. Army soldier. This is the Leave the Light on Podcast.
