Send us Fan MailEp 421   The Fog of War and HumanityIn this powerful first conversation, host Richard Acritelli sits down with Gary Glick, commander of the Jewish War Veterans Post 652, for a deeply personal journey through service, identity, and memory.Gary reflects on growing up in a diverse Brooklyn neighborhood, enlisting in the Army during the Vietnam era, and confronting antisemitism both in the United States and abroad. From basic training in the South to deployment in Germany, his story reveals the emotional weight of wearing a Star of David in uniform at a time when prejudice was still painfully visible.A visit to Dachau concentration camp memorial site becomes a life defining moment, shaping Gary’s understanding of history, responsibility, and the need for remembrance. His later work with military chaplains and lifelong commitment to veterans and Holocaust education connect past to present in urgent ways.This episode is about more than military service. It is about heritage, courage, faith, and the responsibility to teach the next generation what happens when hate goes unchecked.Part one of a moving two part story you will not forget.Support the show
