This fishing, it's in my soul.

Welcome to the Salt Strong Podcast.

Disrupting fishing entertainment as you know it.

Prepare to laugh.

Prepare to get to know fishing legends in a whole new and unfiltered way.

And on occasion, you might even learn a thing or two about fishing.

Here's your host, Joe Simons.

Like Diamonds.

Guys, gals, veterans, active military duty, civilians, whoever you might be.

I urge you to listen to this entire episode.

It is certainly one of the most powerful episodes we've ever done here.

It's Salt Strong Unchurched.

Tony Prescott.

Just, I mean, the whole story blows me away of having to watch a best friend die right next to you.

Going back into battle after being discharged and having to deal with coming back as a civilian with a wife and kids and trying to basically start over.

And then his challenges with God and faith in the nightmares and the dreams that just won't seem to go away.

These scenes that keep reappearing from his time over there in the Middle East.

I'm going to read off a couple of words that he has won because we didn't get to talk about it in this episode.

But he was the counterintelligence agent of the year by the Department of Defense.

Three bronze stars medals, one with the device for valor, a purple heart, defense, service medals, all kinds of service medals, joint service metal, the army accommodation, the joint military unit award.

You'll find out real quickly why Tony was awarded this.

Please, please, please listen to the entire thing at the end.
