Join me in this episode where we dive deep into the personal stories behind military service and the lasting impact on families, as I sit down with Lieutenant Colonel Patrick Naughton Jr., a passionate educator and veteran, to discuss his journey from military service to teaching at the Command and General Staff College in Leavenworth, Kansas.
In this insightful conversation, Patrick shares the significance of his father's experiences as a Vietnam veteran, the inspiration behind his compelling book "Born from War: A Soldier’s Quest to Understand Vietname, Iraq, and the Generational Impact of Conflict,"(available April 2025) and the extensive research he embarked upon to capture the generational understanding of war. With pride and emotion, he recounts how his father's sacrifices shaped his own identity and career in the Army and hear Patrick's thoughts on the evolution of military education.
Whether you're a veteran, a military family member, or simply curious about the profound effects of war on personal narratives, this episode promises to inspire and enlighten. Tune in to explore the bonds of legacy, the journey of self-discovery through research, and what it truly means to be "Born from War."Website: www.patnaughton.com
