Today's lesson is a serious one, as is today's date, December 7 (1941). This book does a tremendous job detailing the rise of Hitler in Germany, and, today, we take a deeper look at that rise. I would also highly recommend "Man's Search for Meaning" which tells author Victor Frankl's experience in an Auschwitz concentration camp.

Col. (and former wrestler!) Eric Stetson tells how FourBlock.org helps service members transition into careers where they will find satisfaction and success. Then Army veteran Erica Webster talks abou...
