This week, the National Defense gets into the holiday spirit by speaking with Buck Kern, the Executive Director of Snowball Express, an organization dedicated to providing hope and new happy memories to the children of military fallen heroes who have died while on active duty since 9/11.  Jerry and Randy get a little culture in their lives as they speak with Alvin Townley from the Woodruff Arts Center in Atlanta, GA, about the role the arts can play in the lives of veterans as well as the photographs of former guest Stacy Pearsall.  Then Randy and Jerry speak with Manny Para from the Green Beret Foundation.  Manny is a retired Green Beret who, through the work of the Green Beret Foundation’s program, The Next Ridgeline, provides current and former U.S. Army Green Berets who are transitioning to civilian life the tools and resources they need to be successful.  That’s all this week on The National Defense.
