Joe Yurick is a U.S. Army veteran, PATRIOT Missile System operator, and founder of This Sober Vet which is a podcast dedicated to normalizing sobriety among veterans struggling with alcohol and substance abuse.Enlisting right out of high school in 2000, Joe served through the aftermath of 9/11, deploying in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. He defended CENTCOM in Qatar, operated in Kuwait, and was stop-lossed before receiving an Honorable Discharge in 2004.Like many veterans, Joe turned to alcohol to cope. What started as high school keggers and duty-station bar nights in Juarez escalated into a full-blown addiction that nearly cost him his family. In June 2022, his wife gave him the ultimatum: the bottle or his family. He chose his family.What followed was one of the hardest battles of his life. Through raw determination, faith, his wife’s support, therapy, and a few AA meetings, Joe got sober. Six months later, he realized he wasn’t missing anything worth keeping. His health, relationships, sleep, memory, and finances had all dramatically improved — including a 60-pound weight loss.Now completely sober, Joe’s mission is clear: help veterans break free from self-medicating with alcohol and substances, and show them that a better life on the other side is not only possible — it’s worth it.Raw, real, and veteran-focused, This Sober Vet delivers honest conversations, practical tools, and hope for anyone ready to reclaim their life from addiction.If you’re a veteran battling the bottle, or simply want to support those who are, this podcast is for you.Please leave us a review on Apple/Spotify Podcasts:Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-kagan-dunlap-show/id1734065968Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4CoB0WzZTGwZHj7LJIZDTI?si=3f85eb09f07249e7Kagan Dunlap Show Links:YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@KaganDunlapShowX - https://x.com/KaganDunlapShowInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/kagandunlapshow/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61583743284059Threads - https://www.threads.com/@kagandunlapshow?hl=enTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@kagan.dunlap.show?lang=enWebsite - https://kagandunlapshow.com/Joe Yurick Links:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thissobervetpodcast/Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@ThisSoberVetWebsite - https://thissobervet.com/

Major James Capers Jr. Legendary Force Recon Marine, Vietnam Hero & the Long Fight for the Medal of Honor.In this powerful episode, we sit down with Retired U.S. Marine Corps Major James Capers Jr., a true American hero and trailblazer. One of the first African American officers in The Marine Force Reconnaissance Teams, Major Capers led over 60 covert long-range reconnaissance patrols in Vietnam. He survived devastating wounds, including multiple gunshots, over 17 pieces of shrapnel, and a broken leg, while refusing to quit command during a brutal 1967 ambush near Phu Loc. His actions saved every member of his team, Team Broadminded, and embodied the highest traditions of the United States Marine Corps.For nearly six decades, Major Capers’ extraordinary valor went unrecognized at the nation’s highest level. After the battle, the Commanding General intended to recommend him for the Medal of Honor, but that paperwork was lost forever when the General was killed in a helicopter crash. Instead of the Medal of Honor, he received a Bronze Star. Now, thanks to years of advocacy, Congressman Ralph Norman’s bill H.R. 3377 written to authorize President Trump to award Major James Capers Jr. the Medal of Honor, has passed both the House and Senate and was signed into Law By The President of The United States on March 26th 2026, finally bringing long-overdue justice to this American legend.Major Capers opens up about breaking racial barriers in the Marines, leadership under fire, the brutal realities of combat, and his unbreakable bond with his men. He also shares inspiring lessons on resilience, faith, and legacy.Major Capers story is one that embodies courage, sacrifice, and the stories of those who served.Please leave us a review on Apple/Spotify Podcasts:Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-kagan-dunlap-show/id1734065968Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4CoB0WzZTGwZHj7LJIZDTI?si=3f85eb09f07249e7Kagan Dunlap Show Links:YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@KaganDunlapShowX - https://x.com/KaganDunlapShowInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/kagandunlapshow/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61583743284059Threads - https://www.threads.com/@kagandunlapshow?hl=enTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@kagan.dunlap.show?lang=enWebsite - https://kagandunlapshow.com/Major Capers Links:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/major_james_capers_jr/

William “Billy” Gallegos Is A United States Marine and during his tour of Active Duty, he was a Security Guard who was stationed at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran when it was overrun during the Iran Hostage Crisis in 1979.On November 4, 1979, in the midst of the Iranian Revolution, militant students stormed the embassy in Tehran, capturing American diplomats and Marines and igniting a 444-day international standoff that would reshape U.S. relations with Iran. Billy was among the 52 Americans held for the entirety of the crisis.He recounts the moment the compound was breached, the chaos and uncertainty of those first hours, and the harsh reality of captivity that followed. Blindfolded, interrogated, and isolated, he and his fellow hostages relied on discipline, faith, and the unbreakable bond forged through Marine Corps training to survive mentally and physically.This conversation goes beyond headlines and history books. It is a firsthand account of resilience under pressure, the psychological toll of prolonged captivity, and the strength required to endure when the world feels impossibly far away. After 444 days in captivity, Billy finally returned home, but the experience would shape the rest of his life.Please leave us a review on Apple/Spotify Podcasts:Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-kagan-dunlap-show/id1734065968Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4CoB0WzZTGwZHj7LJIZDTI?si=3f85eb09f07249e7Kagan Dunlap Show Links:YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@KaganDunlapShowX - https://x.com/KaganDunlapShowInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/kagandunlapshow/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61583743284059Threads - https://www.threads.com/@kagandunlapshow?hl=enTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@kagan.dunlap.show?lang=enWebsite - https://kagandunlapshow.com/#fyp #podcast #military #usa #foryoupage #youtuber #deltaforce #motivation #motivational

Cody Cohen is a United States Marine Corps veteran, former law enforcement officer, and defense-industry professional currently working with Genesis Arms, a manufacturer known for its 12-gauge AR-platform firearms. Following his military service, Cohen continued his career in public service in law enforcement, where daily responsibility, accountability, and decision-making under pressure reinforced the same mission-focused mindset developed in the Marines.He later transitioned into the firearms industry, bringing with him real-world operational experience from both military and policing environments. In his role, he works directly with customers, dealers, and industry partners, helping explain equipment purpose, proper application, and practical performance expectations. His perspective is shaped by having relied on gear professionally, giving him a grounded approach to reliability, ergonomics, and usability rather than purely theoretical specifications.Cohen also serves as a bridge between manufacturers and end users — translating feedback from professionals and civilians into clearer communication and meaningful product understanding. His background across service, enforcement, and industry places strong emphasis on safety, responsibility, and equipment that performs when it truly matters.Driven by a service-oriented mindset, he focuses on practical function over hype, ensuring the tools he represents are understood in the context they were designed for.Please leave us a review on Apple/Spotify Podcasts:Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-kagan-dunlap-show/id1734065968Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4CoB0WzZTGwZHj7LJIZDTI?si=3f85eb09f07249e7Kagan Dunlap Show Links:YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@KaganDunlapShowX - https://x.com/KaganDunlapShowInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/kagandunlapshow/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61583743284059Threads - https://www.threads.com/@kagandunlapshow?hl=enTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@kagan.dunlap.show?lang=enWebsite - https://kagandunlapshow.com/Cody Cohen Links:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cody_cohen_actual/?hl=enLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/cody-cohen-562849342/

Leighton Willhite is a distinguished World War II veteran and former U.S. Marine Corps tank driver whose courage and service are woven into the history of the Battle of Iwo Jima. At just 19 years old, Cpl. Willhite landed on the black sands of Red Beach II with C Company, 5th Tank Battalion, driving an M4A3 Sherman tank nicknamed “Lucky” during one of the fiercest and most iconic battles of the Pacific Theater.During the brutal campaign on Iwo Jima in 1945, Willhite and his crew supported infantry units under intense combat conditions. In one notable act of valor, he assisted in a rescue under fire to save another Marine tank crew at Hill 362A, earning him the Bronze Star with “V” device for heroism.Decades after the war, in August 2025—on the 80th anniversary of Japan’s surrender—100-year-old Willhite experienced a remarkable reunion with Lucky, the very tank he operated in battle. The event, held at the National Museum of the Marine Corps’ support facility in Dumfries, Virginia, brought together his family across generations and offered a powerful, living connection to history that few veterans ever get to see.Leighton Willhite’s story is one of bravery, resilience, and enduring legacy. His service in the Marines and his bond with Lucky remind us of the sacrifices made by the Greatest Generation and the importance of preserving their stories for future generations.Please leave us a review on Apple/Spotify Podcasts:Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-kagan-dunlap-show/id1734065968Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4CoB0WzZTGwZHj7LJIZDTI?si=3f85eb09f07249e7Kagan Dunlap Show Links:YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@KaganDunlapShowX - https://x.com/KaganDunlapShowInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/kagandunlapshow/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61583743284059Threads - https://www.threads.com/@kagandunlapshow?hl=enTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@kagan.dunlap.show?lang=enWebsite - https://kagandunlapshow.com/
