In this episode my boy Abismael Gonzalez joins us.  Abi is a Veteran of the United States Army, an active instructor for the US Army Coast Guard, and a Port Authority Police Officer.  He enlisted about a month before 9/11, the events of which would irreversibly shape our world.  We take a deep dive into his experiences being deployed to Afghanistan for 12 months, followed by being deployed to Iraq for another 15 months.  If you’ve ever wondered what War is really like … take a listen and join me in thanking Abi for his service.
