    Episode Twelve; Military Animals Part Two
    Jan 6 2022
    Tonight we start the new year off with a bang as we explore four more animals who made a name for themselves on the battlefield. These are the stories or Roselle the Guide Dog, Siwash the Duck, Bill the Goat, and Moustache the Dog. A link to the book on Roselle, that I mention in the episode, can be found right here: https://www.amazon.com/Thunder-Dog-Story-Blind-Triumph/dp/1400204720/ref=asc_df_1400204720/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312443114357&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=700657233322974693&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9013145&hvtargid=pla-464931009734&psc=1

    Episode Eleven: Richard Rowland Kirkland
    Dec 4 2021

    Wars bring out the worst in people, but sometimes they also bring out the best in people. Going above and beyond is not just about standing your ground or killing a lot of enemy soldiers; sometimes it is about going above and beyond what it means to be a soldier in combat and putting your humanity before your duty. Tonight, we talk about Richard Rowland Kirkland, a man who put his human need to help people above his fear of being killed earning him the nickname "The Angel of Marye's Heights".
