E121: A Veterans Day Special w/Leo Connelly, Jr. as he talks about hidden scars of war, PTSD and so much more. "Veterans deserve to be celeb

Freedom costs lives, hidden scars of war, PTSD, and so much more! Veterans deserve to be celebrated. We owe it to them!

In this episode, Leo Connley joins us on the show as we celebrate Veterans' special day. Leo served as a veteran in the controversial Vietnam War and later as the Mahoning County Veterans Service Commission district commander.

In the session, Leo shares his background as a veteran, his experience serving in the controversial Vietnam war, and sustaining wounds when rescuing an American Soldier. We also dive into his purple heart award in 2019, the Mahoning County veteran service, as well as some fun rapid-fire questions.

Key Takeaways
Learn to give back if you receive help as a veteran. You owe it to someone else. You don’t have to do it weekly but at least once a year.
What works for one person doesn’t necessarily work for the other. You need to figure out what fits best for you in overcoming PTSD or alcoholism.
If any veteran in war says they aren’t scared, it’s a lie. They are scared of death even on their first day.
