Driving with Honor: A Truckers Tribute to Military Service and the Spirit of Memorial Day
Manage episode 420542272 series 3569506
As Walter Gatlin, a former soldier turned trucker, I've navigated more than just highways—I've journeyed from military service to life behind the wheel, carrying lessons of camaraderie and respect with me. This Memorial Day, join me for a stirring tribute to those who have worn the uniform, and discover the parallels between the bonds formed in the armed forces and our trucking community. We're not just sharing the road; we're sharing stories that weave the fabric of America, learning from each other regardless of whether you're a rookie or a road-tested veteran.
In a special narrative, we highlight the commitment of Army Sergeant Michael Fuentes, who shifted gears from his role as a motor transport operator to join a mission in Normandy searching for fallen World War II heroes. His story is a testament to the enduring spirit of service and the deep sense of honor that transcends occupation. Through stirring anecdotes and an excerpt from "We Were Soldiers," we grasp the essence of unity—both in the military and across the endless miles truckers travel. This episode is more than just a podcast; it's a heartfelt salute to the shared values that drive us, as truckers and as patriots, shaping the landscape of our great nation.
