This is a weekly talk on different topics that deal with Veterans, First Responders, Caregivers, and Spouses. I try and cover a wide range of topics that we deal with on a daily basis. I also love feedback from listeners and hear what they have to say. Just by emailing me at cooljoe77@heroobjective.org . I will answer their questions the best that I can and if I am able will share their wins then I will. This is a place where you can feel safe and maybe learn something new tools that you can use within your life. This is about growing your family and have each other's back when the time comes.
