Cleared Hot Episode 58 - Vaughn Stumpf

The vast minority of citizens will never serve in the military.  My father served before me, and his father served before him.  I hope that military service ends with me, and that my children find other ways to serve.  This episode is with my father, and we discuss our own family lineage, how and why we set our roots in the beach town of Santa Cruz California, and the history of our families military service.  I am often asked about my service, and I can only reply with my own experiences.  In this episode I tried to focus on the experience not of the service member, but of the family supporting the military member.  I receive emails from parents of those serving often, hopefully this episode helps them.
