Incredible Podcast with my friend Brett
Schaal.
Brett served 8 years in the Marines. He did 2 tours
in Iraq and was in the first fight for Fallujah and was there for
the Flour Factory incident. He served with 2/7 Marines. He share
his upbrining and path into the Marines and transition.
Brett and I went to UW- Whitewater together and sat
next to each other in English class. Brett is one of the most
humble and hard working friends I know. He’s not one to boast about
his service so I am doing it for him. He also recently bought a
Traeger!
