This week in the studio a man who came from humble beginnings in West Virginia to becoming a Green Beret with 10 combat deployments, and ending up as the Chief of Business Operations for the National Medal of Honor Museum. In his career he has conducted numerous operations to include Combat Search and Rescue, Counter Sniper operations, and Special Reconnaissance to name a few. My guest has spent a life of service to his country, teammates, and his fellow man. He retired from the Army with 26.5 years of service and now spends his days promoting the legacy of the recipients of the Medal of Honor, a honor that less than .01% of service members have ever been recognized for. He is here this week to tell his story. It is my honor to introduce you to Darrell Utt.
