Service to My Country: Must Read Alaska Veteran Series for America 250 – Natalie Spaulding Interview

In this Must Read Alaska Social segment, host Todd welcomes Natalie Spaulding to introduce the "Service to My Country" series. Created to mark America's 250th anniversary, the series highlights veteran and active duty stories of service, sacrifice, and the virtues of honor, courage, and perseverance. Natalie shares how the project began after an op-ed questioning superficial thanks for service and evolved into a platform for real stories. Submissions of up to 1,000 words in first person from veterans and service members are published under the author's legal name with proper citations and no foul language. Guiding questions prompt reflections on challenges, lessons, and advice for young Americans. The discussion stresses rebuilding a culture of responsibility and purpose, especially for young men. Powerful excerpts from contributors like Dr. Michael Hanifen and Josh Church highlight discipline, embracing hardship, and voluntary service.   Send your story to [email protected] to help share these vital American experiences.   SPONSORS: Must Read Alaska: https://mustreadalaska.com/subscriptions/ Promo Code: thesocial10 for 10% off the 'All In' or 'In For News' prepaid annual plans DRB Productions: https://centertix.com/events/beatles-vs-rolling-stones-musical-showdown Promo Code: London for MRAK subscribers
