We welcome in Mikey to the show and welcome back, Will. There is still a massive need for what we do at Camp Hope.

Ramon noticed Mike and Will weren't 100% comfortable when people approached them to "thank them for their service". So we asked them what would they prefer people say to them? We also asked the important question: what did you take to make your MRE's taste better? We also...
