Oscar Mike Radio Special - Richard Sherman - Never Home

April 26th is a special day — it marks what I consider to be the true birthday of Oscar Mike Radio.Nine years ago, on this date, Oscar Mike Radio began with a panel session at Massasoit Community College’s first Dale Dorman Media Day. To commemorate this milestone, going forward there will be a special annual show on April 26th called the Oscar Mike Radio Mission in Flight Award.The first recipient of this honor is Navy Veteran Richard Sherman.Richard shared his military experiences and his transition to civilian life, with a focus on his powerful photography project, Never Home: Remembering the Military Heroes Who Never Returned.Our conversation explored the emotional impact of visiting military cemeteries and how Richard uses photography to tell the stories of World War II veterans. He emphasizes the importance of remembering our fallen soldiers and the personal narratives behind their sacrifices.Listening to Richard, I felt a deep connection with his journey. I was so moved by his words and work that I knew I had to do something special to honor him.You can support Richard’s work by ordering his book on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1644919602/one-book-never-home-heroes-remembering.To learn more about his project, visit his website: https://www.neverhomeheroes.com.Thank you for watching and listening.
