Dean Wegner played hockey for West Point then went on to be an Army Aviator. He was fortunate enough to be a candidate for Ranger School, and successfully completed his career in the Army as a Ranger.
Dean worked in several different industries, apparel being one of them. He has this idea that clothing could be made in America again. I could not believe it when he told me that 3% of all clothing worn in America is actually made in America.
As I talked with Dean, I couldn’t help but be drawn into this simple idea that jobs could be brought back to America. While I think it is an uphill battle, I wanted to be a part of this journey. When Dean showed me the Freedom T-Shirt and socks, I knew that I wanted only one answer to, “Where is Oscar Mike Radio’s apparel made?”
You can find out more by going to https://www.authenticallyamericanbrand.us/. I want to thank Andrew for introducing us. Dean, I am looking forward to seeing how Authentically American and Oscar Mike Radio grow together.
If you have been watching the videos, you will notice that there have been changes to the logo. This is due to the work of Marine Veteran Mike Damon. Mike is the founder of Vet Unite – https://www.facebook.com/VetUnite/. He also owns and operates Last Call Designs. https://www.facebook.com/bvsigns/. I trusted Mike with Oscar Mike Radio, you can trust him too!
I was reading the Boston Herald the other day and came across this article about a VA Nurse who was playing video games on her phone while a soldier died. The article also gave detail on a VA nurse in the same facility who was diverting morphine. Not a good day for Veterans.
JJ is a Navy Veteran and has been a patient in the VA system for a while. He was not happy that I had taken a long time to get my stuff updated so it made sense to have him on to talk about VA medical care. As I said in the podcast, this is not VA bashing episode. I cited the 2016 study by John Hopkins that medical errors are a leading cause of death in the U.S. —> https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/news/media/releases/study_suggests_medical_errors_now_third_leading_cause_of_death_in_the_us . I asked JJ what can Veterans do to help themselves. JJ stated that Veterans need to take ownership and advocate for their own care. Doing so would allow problems to resolved in early stages. I will be filling out all survey cards going forward! Thanks again JJ, for coming on Oscar Mike Radio.

The issue was photos of an adult nature made by this Marine were being shared without her permission or compensation. Her justification was she was trying to make extra money to support her and her son.
At first I was like, well you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes. But then I thought about it this way. What if I had Oscar Mike Radio content on a site that people paid to get and all the sudden it was being shared without my knowledge or permission? I think I would be pretty upset too.
I go into what I think from both sides of the issue. I have not tried to locate the Sgt. in question as it seems she is trying to put this all behind her. However, as I said in the video and podcast, she is more than welcome to come on Oscar Mike Radio and explain why in this case, sharing is not caring.

Veterans Day has become Veterans month. I think that is a good thing. It is my hope that in all our hearts and minds that Veterans Day is a year around thing. We as a country are making good progress so let’s keep it going!
I am almost caught up. Got a bit behind due to other areas of my life. No worries, I am moving like a HAWK Missile off the rail!

Rod and Ride Night for the Whitman VFW is an event where people get together with their hot rods and motorcycles to have a good time. There is usually a band, food, and booths of local people selling handmade items. It is just a great time and all money goes back to support Veterans.
This was open an open mic night at Whitman VFW. I didn’t get a lot of pictures of this event.
I did have a great time and I am looking forward to doing more of these in 2020.
It was an honor to get to see The Wall and talk to people who worked so hard behind the scenes to make this happen. More important was being able to see all the people who came out to pay their respects to the ones who were lost during the Vietnam War.
