RallyPoint Members, Connections, and Friends... Check out my podcast with SSgt Mario Blandini - Let's get this party started...and check what Mario has created...
"Created by veterans, for veterans, to serve veterans, an operation has been launched to prove that good is more than charity. Operation Comeback (https://operationcomeback.org) is a proof of concept to prove that rather than give money, veterans will invest their effort to create social impact in their communities while creating donations to combat suicide among veterans and first responders. With uncommon affinity for one another, we are Stronger Together."
Mario explores hopeful thoughts with 37yr mustang officer COL Mikel Burroughs, USA (ret). Continuing to serve is both a challenge and an opportunity to make an impact on the wellbeing of Veterans:
• 01:57 – Mikel’s comeback story
• 07:16 – Burdens are heavy, but are best shared
• 14:10 – The role of hope | Vets don’t want pity
• 24:09 – Hopeful predictions for all veterans
• 27:24 – Competition vs. collaboration is still uncommon

COL Mikel J. Burroughs Thank you Sir for sharing your comeback story. It is a story of hope, amidst too many stories framed by pity or guilt. We are indeed "Stronger Together" as a family with uncommon affinity. I see other podcasters tapping you in the future, thanks again for being a 5-start guest!
