Ep. 30: EODC Jason Finan (Fused in Memory With Shawn Bacon) - The Life of Chief Finan

Episode 30 is dedicated to EODC Jason Finan who was killed on October 20, 2016, in Mosul, Iraq.

I talked with Shawn Bacon, Jason's Dad, about who he was as a boy and his likes, dislikes, and motivations. We discuss his military service from his family's perspective, as well as what it was like for his family when they found out the news.

This episode was hard to do, but the purpose at the end I believe was served. After listening to this episode, if you didn't know Jason, you will start to feel as if you did.

The purpose is to honor and never forget.

Hooyah Chief Finan!
