About this listen

In this episode of Strength From Service, we welcome back Tom McLaughlin for his second appearance on the show.


Tom is a Vietnam veteran who shares what Veterans Day looked like for him during the war, what it has come to mean now, and how life as a veteran has changed through the years. He also reflects on what life looked like after being wounded in Vietnam—how it shaped his perspective on sacrifice, resilience, and the meaning of Veterans Day in the years since.


From the jungles of Vietnam to today’s community of service and remembrance, Tom offers perspective on honoring the past, understanding the present, and finding purpose in the legacy of service.
