Gone To The Dogs - The Volunteer Army

In this episode, Steve travels to Columbus, Georgia, home of the U.S. Army’s Fort Benning to attend the graduation of his granddaughter from the Army Advanced Infantry Training school.  He recounts his visit to the National Infantry Museum and the impact it had as it reminded him that his father completed basic training at Fort Benning in 1939 prior to WWII.  The account of Steve’s trip to Fort Benning provides a perfect segue into the episode’s purpose, the recognition of all the volunteers that make possible hundreds of events that are enjoyed by so many. In the episode, Steve recalls several standout members of the Volunteer Army, many who have gone to their heavenly rewards.  Listeners will recognize many of these standouts but will be reminded that anyone that sweeps the floor, flips the burgers, or manages the paperwork at a club is a soldier in the army and is valuable to the very last woman or man.  We would like to thank those who support this podcast.
