VETERANS DAY 2017

A special Veterans Day episode: 2 Interviews: Paula Pedene, one of the first VA whistle blowers tells her story, and, Rich Mulder, recent Afghanistan combat vet.

First, I talked with Rich Mulder of Liberty Performance Training. A former Army officer, Rich graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 2009. He served five years in the Infantry, completing Air Assault, Airborne, and Ranger Schools as well as a combat tour to Afghanistan, where he led over 120 dismounted patrols and earned the Bronze Star and the Combat Infantryman Badge.

Next, A personal interview with my longtime friend, Paula Pedene, one of the very first VA whistle blowers. She tells her story. And by the way, after 37 some years of serving our country and veterans, she is still going strong doing just that, including organizing the Phoenix Veterans Day Parade - the parade she founded 21 years ago.
