Thank You For Your Service Ms. Wade

Stephanie Wade, former Marine infantry officer, educator, veterans liaison for a number of campaigns and public office holders, member-at-large of the OC Veterans Advisory Council, and civic leader richly contextualizes military service with her own personal story. She then considers how Project 2025 and Trump's appointments are setting in motion the latest policy changes affecting all veterans in: health, employment, and education; and whether the current management is a diversion on the military’s actually dealing with genuine threats that loom.

Stephanie and the host encourage listeners to participate in the 6-14-25 No Kings protest - https://www.nokings.org, as well as support the local Lavender Dems fundraiser on 6-28-25 in Costa Mesa -  https://secure.actblue.com/donate/dragbingo2025.
