    In this episode, we sit down with Chaz Kraynak, founder of FSB Initiative Inc. (Forward Support Base). After serving our country, Chaz suffered injuries that, combined with some tough choices, left him homeless. Out of that hardship came his mission: to honor, help, and serve others facing similar struggles. Today, FSB operates as an all-volunteer nonprofit—working around the clock to deliver real support to those in need. Learn more at fsbinc.org. Our musical guest is Kelly Daniels, a talented artist who chose music over military service the very day he was set to enlist. With deep family roots in military and first responder service, Kelly shares his gift as a way of giving back. He performed three powerful songs for us: “Faded Photographs” (featuring Brooks Herring) — inspired by his grandparents’ resilience and the sacrifices of families who send loved ones off to serve. “Kiss Me Goodbye” — a deeply personal reflection on love, loss, and the pain of silent goodbyes. “Drowning” — an honest look at life’s hardships and the healing power of music over destructive choices.

    In this episode, we sit down with Josh Rainy and Danny Stokes of Freedom Ops, a new nonprofit driven by a powerful mission to honor the fallen and support healing. Josh shares the story of their recent event, The Courage Climb, where they ascended Cadillac Mountain in Maine 13 times—each climb dedicated to one of the 13 heroes lost during the Afghanistan pullout. His journey of healing led him to connect with Danny, who talks about their planning for the upcoming Abbey Gate Climb. You can follow their work on Facebook at Freedom Ops. Our featured music comes from Caleb Boles, a veteran who discovered his passion for songwriting after service. Caleb describes it as simply “making a song,” yet the depth and power in his music speak volumes. He shares three moving pieces—Fortunate Frown, Beauties of War, and The Volunteer—each carrying its own heartfelt message.

    This week on We Got Your 6@6, we welcomed the incredible Jimmy Weber—retired USAF, lifelong musician, and true storyteller through song. A fan of Vince Gill and inspired by legends like James Taylor and Glen Campbell, Jimmy has carried his passion from Air Force service into his music career. With experience in both the studio and on stage, he’s now traveling and creating with his band, alongside talents like the Shaw Brothers, Jason and John. Jimmy shared three powerful songs with us: “Black and Blue Heart” – a heartfelt piece about the bumps and bruises life throws our way. “Western Moon” – recorded with Jake Mayer, reflecting on his South Dakota roots and the longing for the simple, authentic life of the West. “TAPS (God is Nigh)” – bringing new life to the familiar melody by weaving in its little-known lyrics and a moving story behind the song. From his military roots to his musical inspirations, Jimmy’s journey is one of resilience, gratitude, and staying true to the music that connects us all.

    This week we had the honor of sitting down with Nigel Fischer, a retired Marine who is now dedicating his life to helping fellow veterans find healing. Nigel opened up about the power of music in a person’s life and shared the mission behind Guitars 4 Vets (G4V). Together, they’ve reimagined the way we look at the heartbreaking “22 a Day” statistic. Their new approach, called “135 Alive,” encourages us to flip the focus—each time a veteran or first responder attempts to take his or her life, there are 135 people behind them who are still here and want that person to still be here. Make that call. Nigel has personal experience with the heavy thoughts that come with being at the edge, and his passion shines through as he speaks about transforming that pain into purpose through songwriting and guitars. Keep an eye out for his work with Face the Fight (with Craig Morgan, Sept 10) and exciting collaborations with Taylor Guitars. Of course, we couldn’t help but smile when Petersen had his classic proud papa face moment—especially when connections between Romeo Vaughn and Nigel came full circle during the show. 🎶 Our featured music guest was none other than Romeo Vaughn. If you’ve heard his story before, you know he’s as real as it gets. He’s been to the darkest places and now uses his music to share how he found his way back. Romeo performed three powerful songs for us: Big Dreams, Small Town – With a brand-new video hitting ACN, CMT, and SiriusXM, this one is a must-add to your playlist. Over – A raw look at the inner battle of good vs. bad self… and the victory of choosing light. Cowboy in Boots (feat. DJ Kane) – A fun, uplifting Texas anthem about boots, HEB, and loving your mama. This episode was full of hope, healing, and heart—and we can’t wait to see what’s next for both Nigel and Romeo.

    This week’s episode is packed with powerful stories and heartfelt music. Our guest Mike Deibler joined us to share about Veteran Command and his creation of DTS Maps — an interactive push-pin map that allows veterans to mark their travels and tell the stories tied to each place. Every pin carries a memory, a moment, and a story that shaped the journey. Mike also talked about “No Shit, There I Was”, a storytelling event hosted at a local brewery where veterans shared raw, eye-opening experiences straight from the heart. Our music spotlight featured Michael Lisenby, a former law enforcement officer and first responder who has turned his passion toward songwriting. His music reflects deep personal experiences, resilience, and the brotherhood of service. Michael performed three powerful songs: “I Got a Bottle” – Written after the tragic ambush that took the lives of fellow officers, this song is a tribute to their memory and a reminder that one day, they’ll share a drink together again in heaven. “Hammer Down” – A song about racing to the side of a brother or sister in crisis, doing whatever it takes to be there when they need you most. “Hold On Brother” – A heavy, emotional piece about fighting through danger to reach and protect your brother in the heat of battle. This episode is a powerful reminder of the bonds of service, the importance of storytelling, and the healing power of music.
