    Episode 218 - THE PEOPLE'S PATRIOT PROJECT: “Like, What’s Your Jam” 15 September 2024 WGY6@6
    Sep 18 2024
    This is a very informational and inspirational episode. We are here with Deke Letson who runs the group Veterans Exploration Therapy. There is so much to this program, and the pride put into running this to make all trips come down to the fun and bonding. The best part, as Deke says, is when you run into some of those who have taken part in an adventure and you hear how it was the most exciting thing they have ever done. This was created out of a desire to help other veterans find their way without waiting for space or being on a cocktail of meds before getting some real help. Listen to Deke explain Like, What’s Your Jam, with a mix of his own story and how he came to found the Veterans Exploration Therapy group. We also have some rocking music on this episode! The first song is Better Be Tough by John Hensley. Our guest was talking about soldiers doing dumb soldier stuff and this song came to mind as he did. This may even be fitting for the saying of the night, Like, Whats Your Jam. The second song is Irish Road by Mikele Buck. This song is a nod to “Route Irish,” about Baghdad Airport Road which is a 7.5 mile road between the green zone and Baghdad Airport. This is such a great song. Next Week's Guests: Joel Faulisi Jack Blaise The People’s Patriot Project exists to be the shock and awe when combating the deadly and invisible enemy that is killing our heroes. We will move forward building with new and old friends and loyalty, and with our boots on and ready to serve those who have served. WE are ready to Be a part OF, not apart FROM, and WE will conquer the world of PTSD and #suicide of our service people. Remembering is not enough, and there is #strength in asking for help, Even If It Hurts. While Only You are responsible for your own problems, there is still help and support for you. Figure out What’s your jam, and move forward with the good stuff! #LetsGrow #thefamilythatcouldanddid #FindYour6 #WEgotyour6 #communityheroes #RescueMe #RonPayneJr #NeverForget #beapartofandnotapartfrom #BetheBestYou #PatriotPride #LetsGetThisDone #StickingTruetoourMissions #LetsAllDoBetter #ThereisStrengthinAskingforHelp #ToxicPositivity #GettingInvolved #BreakingBread #thingschangewhenweworktogether #veteran #suicide #PatriotPride

    This is a very sensitive episode. It will take you through the stories of two men who served, who each have a different story to tell about their experience with suicide after service. There is no single situation that is the same as anybody else’s, but there are people in front of you that want you to be here tomorrow. We are here with Aaron Hudgins, the surviving spouse of SSG Jari J. Hudgins (US Army / Oklahoma Army National Guard as well as a 26-year veteran in the Oklahoma Army National Guard (AGR-Active Reserve Guard Reserve). Aaron has a lot to share, but in this episode he will delve into life’s extenuating circumstances after losing his wife to death from suicide. After his wife suffered a broken hip while training for her 3rd deployment at Fort Bliss Texas, she would be sent to the WTU at Fort Hood she was going to be medically retired. When she came home, she would die from suicide on 29 April 2018. She left behind 2 beautiful daughters and 3 stepsons. How she died wasn't a selfish act, she made a decision when facing an overwhelming enemy force, the enemy in her head in the form of depression, anxiety and PTSD. We also have Emmanuel, also known as the musician, Romeo Vaughn. He’s gone through addiction and crisis and admittedly attempted to take his own life. He has had some transformations in life recently by giving his life to Jesus. His first song is one he recently wrote, named His Name Is Jesus. He has another song that was a Crowder cover. The song was All My Hope. After Romeo heads out, we picked out a song from the list of our artists that seems very fitting, Shannon Book with You Are Not Alone.

He has been on the show before, but he has been busy making changes and growing his business! It was so awesome to get back and catch up with him, and hear about what he has been working on. Kevin opens up and shares about the things that he puts in his songs, including some of the problems he has gone through and the realization that it is up to him to realize that only he is responsible for his own problems, and that is commendable. Kevin shares some of his best music on this episode. He had a new album out just last week called Missouri Rebel. He shared a few songs from the album and some of his older stuff. Summer Rain is the first one shared on this episode. This is one of the first songs he ever wrote. It’s about coming to a realization that only you are responsible for your problems. Then, we go into Dead Man Walking. This one is off of his new album and he’s got a video for it as well. Make sure you go to YouTube and check it out. Cotton Belt Queen is the 3rd song that he shared with us. This is an upbeat different feel off the new album. Every song tells a story and Kevin wanted to make sure that his album told different stories. This one definitely checks the box. www.Kevinpalmermusic.com Check out WeP3 RADIO: https://live365.com/station/WeP3-Radio-a15362 Next Week's Guests: Aaron Hudgins Romeo Vaughn The People’s Patriot Project exists to be the shock and awe when combating the deadly and invisible enemy that is killing our heroes.

    We had an amazing guest with Lauren Iozzio. Lauren hails from a family, especially her dad, that cares about taking care of people. She has worked her way into understanding the human brain in a way that she can help them with choices they make. Lauren has been in the field of service as an adult, and has also created a safe and relaxing space for others in her AirB&B called the BOHO HOBOs Hideaway, found in Lexington TX. Hockett shares his music with us on this episode. Hockett was a Navy Corpsman in service for 4 years. We start the night off with the very first song he recorded. Talk about setting the bar high with 'Dotted Line'. They were in the studio for 14 hours trying to put something together. He went in with a completely different track to record and ended up leaving with this song on record. The next song was No One Else On Earth. This is a cover of a Judd's song that was done with Kimberley Meyer, another one of our former guests. This is on another level. What a heck of a job covering an iconic female voice in country music. Hockett and Kimberley Meyer are both signed with United Republic Records. Lastly, we get to hear 'Red Flags'. This song is about when you're in a relationship and things aren’t going well, but you stay anyways and won’t leave because “something” good is keeping you there. Hockett is currently working on putting together an album and putting the final touches on their 2025 tour. You can find them on Spotify and on YouTube and on WeP3 radio coming very soon.

    We have an amazing guest with Charlie Hines. Charlie has his own studio and recorded our Kimmer’s story into a song …. He is talented, He is an Army brat, currently living in Cincinnati Ohio. Works with Veterans through the Cincinnati VA Courage groups. We got to hear him interact with Kimmer as they explained how they met and how he wrote her song … and it is a bit of a heart-string pull. Growing up, Charlie had many different experiences with life. His father was working his way to General, and he cherishes the time he got to spend with him. Charlie has a big heart, and he shares that through his work at the VA with the Courage Groups. He is so talented with writing and producing music, and that keeps him busy in all his ‘spare’ time. The songs we shared last night were perfect to show his talent and his emotional connections to life 🙂 Charlie was a piece that helped Kimmer find herself, and helping her say “I Am No Longer No One”. We also had Kimmer Gwinner herself on the show, and watching them interact with each other for the first time face to face was an awesome experience! Charlie shares three amazing songs with us. The amazing quality of these songs makes us want to hear all of them! Each song has its own story, and this is a story with all the personal feels. The first song shared is “Something to Say”. This was written about our good friend after she shared her thoughts, poems, feelings and stories with him. He captures the essence of Kimmer and walks us through her journey, good and bad. In the end, Kimmer can say with belief, “I am no longer no one”. In the second song, Charlie writes more about his own life, and the main character is his HERO - his very own father. This song is the most touching dedication to the man who lived his life right and raised his children well. Charlie is proof of this 🙂. Charlie’s last song, Courage to Change, was written for the veterans at his Cincinnatti Veterans Courage Groups. This one is inspired by a woman from a group he works with. She saw something on the wall and when she went to read it, it was Have the Courage to Change. They are lucky to have him around, and he shares this song just for them. Next Week's Guests: Lauren Iozzio - The Boho Hobo’s Hideaway Hockett - music!

TO GIVE US THE FREEDOMS WE HAVE THAT ALLOW US TO DO WHAT WE DO DAILY. We have an amazing guest from the world of EMS on our show. Jamil Moutron is a spectacular steward of the profession he lives. Jamil shares the trials and the triumphs of living in a remote area, where emergency response can take up to 40 minutes to show up! There is also a family aspect, as his son, daughter and wife are all in the first responder and nursing world in the same county and it is as rewarding as it is a challenge! They are the family that could … and did, and does!! We also had another one of our amazing artists on. Dom Cours graced us with his presence - and he is bad - ass! One new song recorded per week - I would say he is on a mission! For his first song he shares Ten Toes: It is an amazing piece about getting your feet on the ground, and what it takes to get started and stay on task. Dom’s second song of the night is Our ever - favorite song, of which we use in our intro for our Sunday show, Roll On! This came complete with the video from when we first met Dom … with the mountain man look! Dom’s third song was written in Iraq, and performed here live, and it was such a great song! Sadly, the mic he had set up lost his voice early on, but we let him run with it, as the guitar piece was amazing! Having Dom as part of our lives helps make us the Family that could … and Did!!

    Tonight our show was sponsored by Smart Living - presented to us by Brian Kendzor and Andrea Eichmann. We also appreciate those others who are sponsoring our newsletter: Catch22 (Derrek Iozzio), Operation Texas Strong (Bobby and Peggy Crutzinger), who have just given home #197 to a homeless veteran (https://www.facebook.com/share/p/woX2Wef1Vd5ji7VK/ ), The BOHO HOBO’s Hideaway with Lauren Iozzio, and our very own - Kimmer Gwinner!!! Al Stitt is a Navy veteran. His mission is to introduce people to a unique system that helps us understand other peoples’ values and communicate with them more effectively. This can be used to help relationships, make it easier to get people to open up about their problems, as well as to help decide on the best approach for dealing with those problems. Al has vast knowledge of the psychology behind our social and emotional systems, and he has a lot of experience with life and career coaching that comes in handy when working with veterans. Al has a passion for helping those who have served, but is also there for any and all who need that kind of support. There were several mentions about how things change when we work together. Jenn Ford and her husband & manager Eric were able to jump on and share their story and their time with us. Jenn has an album out called “Americana” that most of her music came from last night. Americana is a collection of Jenn’s favorite music from American artists. Her first song was Nutshell, a cover of Alice In Chains from that album. It is one of my favorite songs and Jenn does a wonderful job on the cover of it. The video is also amazing and wants to show vets that you can find your group of people that you can have the freedom to be yourself as well as co-exist with others with all that type of growth and personal freedom. The second song was Gold Dust Woman, a cover of Stevie Nicks. It is another amazing cover and also off of her Americana album. The last song was Woman In Black and it is one of Jenn Ford's Original songs. Great song, great beat, great lyrics and rhythm. She is the “Woman In Black.” Jenn has been a friend for a long time, and she can give testimony to the belief that things change when we work together, and we don’t selfishly hold things to ourselves.
