#674 FireSide Chat w/ the Crew; 31 May 2026

Tonight on FireSide Chat w/ the Crew (Jess Kindelspire, Mike McNany, Aaron Davis, Vick Ney, Mark O'Loughlin), we're gathering around the virtual campfire for another evening of conversation, camaraderie, and lessons learned through military service. As always, we'll discuss current events, life experiences, leadership, family, friendships, and the ways our time in uniform continues to influence us long after the military. Expect some laughs, a few sea stories, and honest conversations about the challenges and opportunities we face every day. We'll also be introducing an exciting new initiative from The Lost Art Project: Veterans' Voices—the Veterans' Voices Archive Network. For years, we've worked to preserve Veteran stories one interview at a time. Now we're taking the next step by creating a network of Historical Archivists who can help identify, record, and preserve Veteran stories in their own communities. We'll discuss why this initiative matters, what a Historical Archivist does, and how ordinary people can help ensure that the stories and lessons of our nation's Veterans are never lost. Tonight Chris Cambpell, the very first Lost Art Project Historical Archivist, starts his journey to documenting veterans stories.  If you've ever wondered how you can contribute to preserving military history, or if you've considered helping Veterans share their stories, this is a conversation you won't want to miss. So grab a cup of coffee, pull up a chair, and join the crew for another FireSide Chat where every story matters and every voice deserves to be heard.
