It's the Fourth of July and as we celebrate our country's freedom, we also think of the many men and women who have fought to protect it. Large numbers of those return from duty severely injured and sadly many of them don't get the help they need to get back to civilian life and thrive. Patty's guest today is Mike Conklin, and his mission is to change that. He is Chairman and CEO of Sentinels of Freedom, a non-profit helping wounded veterans complete their education and transition into successful post-military careers.
Mike talks about how this all started and where the organization is today. Hear his incredible story of the first Sentinel in the program, some of his most memorable individuals that he's worked with, and why this work is so vital. This episode will fill you with pride, make your heart feel good, and may also make you shed a tear. Happy Fourth to everyone!
