Randy talks with Andrew about how his military career was inspired by the attack on the World Trade Center Tower II on September 11th.

This week on Celebrity Salute, we welcome a truly heroic human being, Bryan Stern, to the podcast to discuss his group: Project Dynamo. Project Dynamo is an umbrella term encompassing two operations — Digital Dunkirk and Dynamo II. Both efforts are being run by extraordinary civilians with no ties to the U.S. government attempting to do the impossible — saving Americans and Afghan allies who are fearing for their lives as the Taliban regains control of Afghanistan. Randy speaks with Byran about how being at Ground Zero of the World Trade Center on 9/11 influenced the work he is doing today.

Aaron Augustis and Johnathan Shia

We welcome back the founder of the Veterans Cannabis Project, Aaron Augustis, to the show along with Johnathan Shia to get an update on efforts to allow veterans from ALL states to use medical marijuana to combat injuries and post-traumatic stress. Getting our veterans off of prescription painkillers and opioids is something all seem interested in, yet at a Federal level there is still heavy resistance to allow the Department of Defense and VA to allow veterans to legally treat their symptoms.
