Heidi Harris Show Podcast #206: Former POW’s Alcorn and Long on their captivity

In honor of Memorial Day and the amazing people who gave so much for our freedom, here’s an interview I did with a couple of men who’d been captured and held in Hanoi for 5 and 7 years, respectively. Major Steven Long, USAF, and Captain Ray Alcorn, USN, were kind enough to sit with me and discuss their captivity, and what they think of the anti-war movement and politicians who interfere with military objectives.

They’ve both passed on in recent years, but they both represented the very BEST of what America has to offer.

Heidi Harris Show Podcast #193: Guest, Dr. Edward Beal “War Stories from the Forgotten Soldiers”

My guest Dr. Edward Beal, a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Georgetown University School of Medicine, spent many years counseling veterans. His new book, “War Stories from the Forgotten Soldiers” includes many personal stories of veterans who are struggling in various areas. It’s an important book, and a glimpse into the challenges many soldiers face after serving our nation.

It’s stunning to realize how few Americans have a family member serving, as compared to wars past. We need to be not only thankful for their service, but mindful of their sacrifice, which may not be visible on the outside.
