Send us Fan MailEp 422  The Fog of War and Humanity (Part 2)In part two of this moving conversation, host Richard Acritelli continues his discussion with Army veteran Gary Glick, commander in the Jewish War Veterans, as they explore how military service, memory, and identity shape a lifetime of purpose.Gary reflects on the lasting impact of visiting Dachau concentration camp memorial site as a young soldier and how that moment still lives vividly in his mind more than five decades later. He shares how his time as a chaplain’s assistant deepened his respect for faith, tradition, and the diversity of religious life within the military.The episode moves beyond the battlefield into what happens after service. Gary’s return home, meeting his wife, building a career through the GI Bill, and eventually finding his calling with fellow veterans all reveal how lives are shaped by both fate and choice.Most powerfully, Gary speaks about Holocaust survivors who later served in the U.S. military, forgotten heroes whose stories remain largely untold. From Korean War Medal of Honor recipient Tibor Rubin to resistance fighters and former prisoners of camps who wore American uniforms, this episode highlights the urgency of preserving living history before it disappears.This is a story about memory, responsibility, and the unbreakable thread connecting past sacrifice to present duty.Support the show
