    In Episode 7 of the Welcome Home Podcast, I sit down with Dale Berg—Vietnam veteran and helicopter pilot—who went from being a struggling high school student in San Francisco to flying Hueys in combat. Dale served two tours in Vietnam, and while he downplays it, he has some incredible stories to share. Beyond being a skilled pilot, he’s also a fantastic storyteller.

    During our conversation, Dale showed me some amazing photos from his time in the service, which I’ll be sharing on Instagram @WelcomeHomeStoriesPod.

    Tune in for a fascinating look at his journey, the challenges he faced, and the moments that shaped his time in the skies.

    On this episode of the Welcome Home Podcast we interviewed Tommy Marshall, a Navy PBR River Rat and Boatswain. He is one of the few who witnessed the bay of pigs invasion in person, as well as raising a family, serving in Vietnam, and finishing his career on the USS Wisconsin in Conflict Desert Storm. Tommy is a purple heart recipient and amputee, just like my grandfather was. Since meeting Tommy, he has been an inspiration for me to work harder, pursue my goals, and not take life for granted. I hope y'all enjoy our conversation.
