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.

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!

It is interesting how shows come together. I got to know Susan Hunter through her book 77 Letters and Wayne Soares from a colleague.
We got to talk about a film project based on the Vietnam War called, “Every Time the Wind Blew”. This film seemed to be a different kind of project especially since neither Susan nor Wayne served in the Vietnam War or military.
Listening to their story of why they are doing this film and what they have learned, brought a different perspective than what one usually hears about the Vietnam War. You can go to https://www.facebook.com/EveryTimeThe… to learn more.
This project is already underway and is on schedule for an early 2022 release.
Thank you Susan and Wayne for talking with me.

Great getting to talk with Mario Cima. Mario is active duty Coast Guard and is stationed in Puerto Rico.June 27th is the first Irreverent Warriors Hike in Puerto Rico and Mario has worked hard to make this a success.It was great learning about what got Marino into Irreverent Warriors. Mario went to a hike and was taken in about how he felt at home, or part of a tribe.I think the most interesting aspect is what Mario hope comes out of doing this hike in the future.There is still time to sign up for a hike. Go to https://www.eventbrite.com/…/irreverent-warriors… to sign up! Thank you Mario for talking with me.

I had Susan Hunter on for #248. The conversation was so good we kept it going.
Joan Hunter started Operation Morale Booster during the Vietnam War. Operation Morale Booster was where Joan would write letters to soldiers serving in Vietnam during the war. Out of the this began a relationship with Bob Johnson, a soldier serving in the U.S. Army. Joan’s daughter, Susan P. Hunter, wrote 77 Letters about her mother’s work and the friendship between Bob and Joan. This friendship was significant because Joan was a white married woman while Bob was single Black man. As 77 Letters delves into the friendship between Joan and Bob, there are topics of conversation discussed during that time that resonate today. I found this part of the story just as impactful as the work Joan did during the Vietnam War. Susan has done an amazing job of bringing her mother’s legacy and Bob’s service to life. You can find out more by going to Amazon to get this fantastic book. https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B08H8WG3SF
