it's that time time time time lock and load the michael very show is on the air

it's charlie from Blackberry Smoke.

I can feel a good when coming on.

It's the Michael Berry Show.

You folks know that Mark and the Charles one of my best friends.

And you know because he kept a diary what happened on the side of a mountain in Afghanistan.

And you know about Operation Red Wing.

And you probably know someone who went to Afghanistan to serve this country.

You may know someone who didn't make it home.

If you don't know someone directly who went to Afghanistan, you know the

family member of someone who did. You just may not know that the secretary at the bank that you

walk in or the receptionist that her son did a tour or three in Afghanistan. That country and our

involvement there reeks of what the Vietnam generation went through.

And before you tell me that that's not an apt comparison, we were actually in Afghanistan longer.

As you know, I'm the spokesman for an organization called Camp Hope, PTSD Foundation of America.

We lose over 20 veterans a day to suicide.

And we just had a guy graduate this morning who was a Vietnam vet from 68, 69.

He never healed.

War is a horrible thing.

I haven't been there.

But I've talked to enough folks to understand it.

It's a horrible, terrible
