This week in the studio a retired Command Sergeant Major with over 30 years of service to this country. It seems like an odd story that he would rise from the rank of private to Command Sergeant Major especially because he initially enlisted because of his best friend. He completed his first full tour and decided to leave military service and become a missionary. He left the service but the service never left him, he enlisted in the Guard and worked with 1st Battalion 211th ARB and 19th Special Forces he has deployed to the Middle East and was even stationed there during the horrendous events that happened on September 11th, 2001. Personally he had to recover and continue to lead his family when his wife passed away suddenly, and still continue to grow as a father, leader, and a man. He’s here to tell his story of Love, Loss, and life lessons that he learned over his career, I’m excited to introduce Bradley Jones…..
