About the show

Join us as WE come together to see the issues and the needs of today’s HEROES, our veterans and first responders. WE will discuss the solutions and see the organizations that are boots on the ground as WE combat the silent, invisible and deadly enemies our HEROES are facing. WE are a grassroots, nonpartisan, nonprofit acting in the Mission to honor, empower and support those who have served. WE are the shock and awe in combating the silent, invisible and deadly enemies of our daily heroes, the First Responders and Veterans. Our goals come on many levels and forms as WE are raising awareness to those who do not know, WE are providing resources to those in need and WE provide the opportunities to those who are still interested in serving and/or have not had or taken the chance to serve before. WE are the beacon of hope for many to change their world through recalibration and rehabilitation. Our goals are to get our HEROES back into their families and communities. Happy Heroes create happy communities.

Guest: Nick Richardson This episode highlights the importance of looking beyond military service and recognizing the challenges veterans face when they return to civilian life. Nick Richardson is passionate about helping veterans navigate the things that happen after service – from mortgages and finances to housing and all the unexpected challenges that life can bring. His focus is on making sure veterans have access to the support, resources, and practical assistance they need to move forward. Nick also shared some strong opinions about the VA and recent policy changes, including the February 2026 rescinding of its medication rule. He isn't afraid to speak up when he believes something isn't being handled correctly. His message was an important one for organizations working in the veteran community: Stay true to your mission. Sometimes that means disagreeing, challenging decisions, or calling out individuals and organizations when necessary. Protecting the integrity of your mission means being careful about who you allow to influence it. Looking ahead, Nick shared that they are holding tight until the first of the year, when they plan to expand their gifts and assistance to veterans to include hair and beauty services. Because sometimes support isn't just about the big things – it's also about helping someone feel good about themselves again. Music Guest: Hope McGregor – Americana Hope McGregor has quite a story behind her music! Her journey began with an acceptance to West Point, which set her on an unexpected path through military service as an aviation officer, law school, and plenty of life's twists and turns. After all those experiences, music eventually found its way back into her life. Today, she is writing and performing her own music, has recently released a new EP, and is getting out to share her songs at live events. One of her observations really stood out: "It's so much easier to sing your song with music than it is to just share your story." And after hearing the stories behind her songs, it's easy to understand what she means! The Stories Behind the Songs "The Matriarch" – A Christmas visit from Hope's parents a couple of years ago turned into an unexpected family storytelling evening when the power went out, leaving everyone without hot water or electricity. After a few cocktails, the family stories started flowing! This song celebrates her great-grandmother, a truly strong, independent, and downright badass woman. "Waiting for You" – Featured on Hope's new EP, this song takes a look at relationships, expectations, and the sometimes-complicated dating world of your 30s. It starts with a little story about a young man Hope had her eye on, but who apparently interpreted her attention a little differently than she intended! Beneath the humor is also the more serious experience of getting past a relationship built on lies and deceit. "Sloppy Seconds" – Well, this one has a story! Inspired by a real-life encounter during flight line training, Hope received an email from someone whose name she didn't recognize. It turned out a flight buddy's wife was looking into her and wasn't particularly happy about the possibility of Hope being a "loose" woman. Sometimes real life provides some pretty unexpected songwriting inspiration! A huge thank you to Nick for sharing his perspective and commitment to supporting veterans beyond their years of service, and to Hope for bringing her experiences, humor, and musical talent to the show! We've got plenty happening behind the scenes, and we're excited about what's coming next! MN Monthly Muster – Meet and Greet We're continuing to build connections and bring our military, veteran, first responder, and supporter communities together. Stay tuned for upcoming opportunities to meet, connect, and share some camaraderie! Firearms and Safety Classes with Johnny Holliday We're working on opportunities to bring education, safety, and responsible firearms knowledge to our community. Grapes of Rucking Wrath – Alexis Bailly Vineyard & Winery Planning meetings have begun, and we're looking toward October 24 for our event! Get ready for rucking, music, games, and plenty of camaraderie. Whether you're tackling the 10K, 5K, or 0.0K, there's a place for you! Wreaths Across America – Fort Snelling National Cemetery Thank you to everyone who continues to think about the heroes laid to rest at Fort Snelling. Our goal is to make sure every veteran has a wreath honoring their service and sacrifice. Every wreath sponsored brings us one step closer! Join us in honoring our fallen: https://www.facebook.com/share/129xDbNmPTJ/?mibextid=WC7FNe WeP3 RADIO WE are proud to be the leading music station featuring music created, written, produced, and sung by those who have served their country and communities! Give us a listen and support the voices and talents of those who have served. https://live365.com/station/WeP3-RADIO-a51414 As always, WE are stronger together! Whether we're helping veterans navigate life after service, bringing people together through music and events, or making sure our fallen heroes are never forgotten, everything comes back to one thing: showing up for those who have served our country and communities.

This episode is about turning personal battles into purpose, breaking down barriers, and finding new ways to help veterans reclaim their lives through movement, fitness, and community. Guest: Nikki Allmann – Workout Warriors A former Air Force service member, Nikki has experienced multiple combat locations and carried significant trauma throughout her military journey. When she finally reached out for help, she was told she was "too screwed up" to be helped. That devastating experience brought her to an incredibly dark place, and one night at a shooting range, she came dangerously close to taking her own life. But Nikki knew something had to change. She realized that traditional therapy wasn't necessarily the answer for her, and she needed to find a different path toward healing. That determination led to the development of the Warrior Path Program and eventually the Warrior Workout Program, which became the foundation of Workout Warriors. The mission is simple but powerful: Remove the barriers that keep people out of the programs they need to be in. Whether those barriers are financial, physical, health-related, or simply the fear of walking into a gym, Nikki wants to make sure veterans have access to opportunities to improve their health and well-being. Some of the exciting initiatives include: Warrior Workout Program: Creating opportunities for veterans to improve their physical health, build confidence, and find community. Mobile Fitness Outreach: Bringing fitness directly to people who might otherwise never step into a gym. This is especially important for individuals struggling with obesity or those who feel intimidated or uncomfortable in a traditional fitness environment. Continuous Rowing Challenge: An upcoming endurance event designed to bring attention to the mission and encourage participation. Female Veteran Advocacy: Nikki is especially passionate about advocating for women veterans and making sure their needs and experiences are recognized. Workout Warriors does have participation requirements and expectations to maintain membership and keep the program moving in a positive direction. Looking toward the future, Nikki has an even bigger vision: to expand the mission worldwide and make sure veterans everywhere have access to a different path toward healing. Her story is a powerful reminder that sometimes the help someone needs doesn't look like what everyone else expects. Sometimes, it starts with finding a place where you belong, moving your body, building strength, and discovering that you are not alone. Music Guests We also enjoyed some great music during the episode: Jenn Ford – "Turn You Into a Song" Steven D. Wilson – "Born to Run" A big thank you to Nikki for sharing her story, her determination, and the important work being done through Workout Warriors. And thank you to our music guests for sharing their talents with us! Sometimes the road to healing isn't a traditional one. The important thing is making sure there is a road available – and that nobody is turned away before they get the chance to walk it.

This episode is all about remembrance, standing beside military families, and making sure those who have served – and those who have been lost – are never forgotten. Guest: Brandon Gorman – The Rossi Guardian Project After serving 10 years in the Army, Brandon brings a wealth of military experience, both boots on the ground and in leadership roles. Having seen the challenges service members face firsthand, he finds it difficult to sit back and watch members of the military struggle without doing something to help. That passion led him to start The Rossi Guardian Project, an effort focused on supporting and honoring those who have served. One of Brandon's biggest concerns is how quickly those lost at home can seem to fade from public remembrance. He noticed that, too often, there is one ceremony to recognize these losses, and then the attention disappears. He believes this is a tremendous injustice to those who served and deserves a much greater commitment to ongoing remembrance. In a world where technology makes it easier than ever to stay connected, Brandon believes we should be doing more to keep these heroes and their stories alive. Right now, fundraising is a major focus, with an ambitious plan ahead: a walk from the California coast all the way to New York City to raise awareness and support for the Hero Wall he has created. His message is clear: remembrance should not be a one-day event, and those who have served deserve to be remembered long after the ceremonies are over. Music Guest: Rockie Lynne Rockie Lynne is another powerful voice in the veteran community, using his music, experiences, and outreach to stand alongside military families. Through Tribute to the Troops and Troops for the Fallen, Rockie helps support Gold Star families as they navigate the loss of a loved one, whether through natural or unnatural circumstances. Motorcycle rides and community gatherings give these families something more than words – they provide action, presence, and people willing to stand beside them. Rockie also supports scholarships for children who have lost a parent in military service, helping ease some of the financial worries these families face. Like Brandon, Rockie believes deeply in keeping the memories of our fallen alive and being another voice for those who deserve to be remembered. He also shared some exciting updates, including a movie about his life now available on Amazon Prime, along with new concerts and events. His most recent Tribute to the Troops event in North Carolina was another opportunity to bring people together for an important cause. It's incredible to see how the work we do to help others can grow into something so extraordinary and make such a lasting difference! Music and Stories Behind the Songs "Heroes Come From a Small Town" – Written in honor of Matthew Milzar, a young man from Moose Lake, Minnesota, who joined the military straight out of high school and ultimately gave his life for his country. Rockie recognized that so many who serve come from small towns, and he wanted to honor Matthew's decision to step forward and serve. "Love Me Now" – A song featured on Rockie's brand-new record, LOVE. "So You Don't" – A song exploring the connection between those who have served and those who haven't, and how music can help bring those different experiences and perspectives together. A special musical story for Mark! A huge thank you to Brandon and Rockie for joining us! Thank you, Brandon, for your commitment to making sure our heroes are never forgotten, and Rockie, for continuing to use your music and actions to stand with our military families. Different missions, different approaches, but one common purpose: Honor those who served, remember those we've lost, and never leave their families standing alone.

This episode brings together two individuals who share a passion for supporting veterans, building community, and using their talents to make a difference. Maleek Richardson's mission is to help veteran-owned businesses work smarter, get their marketing in order, and reclaim something that is often in short supply: time. Having helped more than 50 business owners improve their marketing without adding more work to their already busy schedules, Maleek understands that sometimes one small change can make a tremendous difference. His goal is to help veteran business owners spend less time working on their marketing and more time enjoying the things that matter most – family, friends, and life outside of work. Looking ahead, Maleek hopes to build a larger corporation that brings veteran businesses together, creates opportunities for them to grow, and allows them to focus on what they do best: fulfilling their services and building successful businesses. He also shared some valuable advice about connecting with potential clients: Clearly communicate your value and understand exactly who you are trying to help. Don't assume people need another sales pitch. Find something meaningful and different to offer. Start with a soft touch, build relationships organically, and let people decide when they are ready. Remember that sometimes the smallest changes can create the biggest impact. His personal motto says it all: "How can I help that person next to me be the best he can be?" Music Guest: Sergio Adam Castillejo A retired U.S. Coast Guard member, Sergio brings a wealth of experience from his time in Search and Rescue, progressing from rescue swimmer to SAR planner. His military career taught him plenty, both good and bad, and a difficult accident during his final assignment left him facing some challenging times. Music became an outlet for working through those darker moments and finding his way forward. Sergio also shared his enthusiasm for connecting with other veteran musicians and supporting the veteran music community. He would love to see more people discover The Community Cafe, a veterans' open mic hosted by him and presented by the Anchorage Concert Association. We got to hear three songs, each with its own story: "The Light" – Written during a difficult period following the end of a relationship. When things felt dark, music became his outlet. While some find their light through faith, Sergio found his in that moment through his daughter. "Our Favorite Song" – A heartfelt tribute to his daughter. As he worked his way back up, he wanted to write something that would let the world know just how much she means to him. "90's Country" – Sergio may not have the opportunity to work with livestock and live the cowboy life, but his experience at Camp Southern Ground, surrounded by country singers and musicians, inspired him to give country music a try! Growing up in South Florida and spending time in the South through his military experience gave him an appreciation for the country sound. A big thank you to Maleek and Sergio for joining us! Thank you, Maleek, for sharing your passion for helping veteran entrepreneurs succeed, and Sergio, for sharing your experiences, your music, and the stories behind it. It's always a pleasure to bring people together who are finding ways to lift up the veteran community!

Cyrus Dooley joins us to share his story of overcoming difficult beginnings, finding purpose, and building a future centered around family. Today, he's blessed with a wife, a daughter, and twins on the way! His journey hasn't always been easy. After losing his father and growing up with a mother struggling with addiction, Cyrus joined the Army partly as a way to escape the circumstances surrounding him. Along the way, he experienced the loss of friends to suicide and witnessed plenty of the chaos and struggles happening throughout the world. Wanting to make a difference, Cyrus started a nonprofit called Fishing for Veterans. However, he eventually discovered that the nonprofit world wasn't the right fit for him. Facing accusations and assumptions that he was trying to make money rather than help people became frustrating, and he realized he needed to take a different path. Now, through Till Zero Coffee, Cyrus continues moving forward and finding his own way to make an impact. Music Guest: Miller Holler Band – Pat Pollifrone Pat Pollifrone of Miller Holler Band joins us to share some music and the influences behind their sound. With inspiration from legendary artists like Lynyrd Skynyrd and Metallica, the band brings together a little Southern rock attitude and a whole lot of personality. Three songs bring three different perspectives: Song #1 – "Thrive": With all the constant predictions and threats of the world coming to an end, sometimes you just have to let it go. This song takes a humorous, laid-back approach to the chaos, suggesting you might as well watch the world scramble from the top of the hill! Song #2 – "Country Does": A good middle-ground country song celebrating hunting, working the farm, and the things that remain constant. The world may change, but some things about country life never do. Song #3 – "Just Like Here": Written by friends Brandy Montana and David, this song brings Pat back to the feeling of home. Life on the road means hotels and new places everywhere, but sometimes a song can take you right back to where you belong. And this one has a great radio-friendly sound! From finding your way through life's challenges to finding comfort in the sounds of home, this episode is about perseverance, new beginnings, and remembering what matters most.

David Jones joins us to talk about the importance of constantly growing, changing, and adapting. After a long career in the Marine Corps, he understands firsthand how challenging the transition from military life to the civilian world can be. The structure, expectations, and relationships are vastly different, and finding your place in that new environment isn't always easy. David's passion is helping veterans navigate those transitions through Steele Sharpens Steele (S3), a veteran-led, peer-led, nonclinical platform built around connection, relationships, and continued personal growth. With the philosophy of "Forged by Service, Strengthened by Brotherhood and Sisterhood," S3 creates opportunities for veterans to learn from one another and build meaningful connections. One of the important shifts is learning leadership without rank. In the military, rank provides structure, but civilian life requires a different approach to leadership and relationships. Through its sessions, S3 encourages listening, learning, and building connections without the barriers of rank. Is there a finish line? David says the goal is for every veteran to know about S3 and have access to its resources. That means continually adapting, improving, and expanding outreach through the VA, veteran resource agencies, and other organizations. The mission is always evolving because the needs of veterans are always changing. And there's something new! S3 has added an Open Forum, available Monday through Friday from 3:00–10:00, creating another opportunity for veterans to connect, share, and support one another. Music Guest: Kimberly Meyer – Plainview, Nebraska Kimberly Meyer joins us after spending two weeks working in Nashville, including the Josie Awards and recording new music! She's continually working to spread the word about her music and share her stories through songwriting. Her three featured songs each bring their own story and perspective: Song #1 – "You Do It to Yourself": Based on a true story, this song delivers a message that comes from real-life experiences and the choices we make. Song #2 – "Dreaming in Reverse": A deeply personal song that came out of Kimberly's journey through grief, including the loss of her father. As she worked through those emotions, she experienced realizations that helped shape the song. Song #3 – "Two-Lane Therapy": Sometimes life gets overwhelming, and the best thing you can do is hit the highway. This song is about processing life, finding perspective, and recognizing that sometimes a detour is exactly what you need. A conversation about growth, connection, and finding your way forward — whether that's through brotherhood and sisterhood, music, or simply taking the long way down a two-lane highway.

Sometimes the path we think we are supposed to take isn't the path that ultimately defines us. This episode is about finding a way forward when life changes—and learning that a different path can still lead somewhere meaningful. James Owen has always found a sense of peace in nature. Growing up with family dysfunction, he discovered that being outside was often easier than being at home. At just 16 years old, his family decided to move onto a sailboat with the dream of living aboard and sailing around the world. As an adult, James chose a career as a firefighter. He loved the work and felt prepared for the fires themselves—but quickly discovered that firefighters aren't always trained for what happens after they go home. James talks openly about the struggles that can follow a career in the fire service, including the devastating impact of suicide and the challenges that can come with trying to cope on your own. His message is simple but powerful: get out of your favorite chair, put down the favorite drink, and reach out. There are organizations and people willing to help—and you don't have to figure everything out by yourself. James' dream of eventually leading a fire department was interrupted by a motorcycle accident. His journey has also included a long road of sobriety, with plenty of challenges and lessons along the way. One of his biggest takeaways is that everyone's path is different. Sometimes looking at how someone else navigated their journey can help us find a new way through our own. James is also building Camp Pivot, a place designed to help people make a new start and find their next direction. Casey Fall joins us through music and shares a story of her own unexpected change in direction. A helicopter pilot by career and passion, Casey had to step away from aviation after suffering multiple concussions. Giving up something she had always wanted to do was incredibly difficult, but she has found a new way to process the experience and move forward—through music. Her songs are personal, therapeutic, and reflective of the experiences that have shaped her. 🎵 “Folded Wings”A reference to the aviation world and the idea that when an aviator's wings are clipped, the journey is over. For Casey, though, her wings weren't clipped—they were folded, reflecting the hope that perhaps this isn't the end of her story, just a different chapter. 🎵 “It Ain't Right”A powerful song about recognizing an abusive relationship, realizing that it isn't right, and making the decision to leave. Casey reflects on the freedom that comes from making that choice and how music became part of her healing. 🎵 “Red Flags Green”Written with Dana Hunt, this song takes the red flags we encounter in life and looks at them from a different perspective. Sometimes those things we initially try to dismiss or overlook are actually part of the story. Casey and Dana turned those experiences into a song about recognizing, accepting, and learning from life's red flags. Both James and Casey remind us that life doesn't always go according to plan. A career can end. A dream can change. A relationship can fall apart. A person can struggle with addiction, trauma, or simply wonder what comes next. But a different path can still be a good path. Sometimes the next chapter begins when we are willing to step outside what is familiar, ask for help, listen to someone else's journey, and give ourselves permission to start again. Thank you, James Owen and Casey Fall, for sharing your music, knowledge, honesty, and experience with us!

This episode shines a light on the people behind the badge, uniform, and service—and the experiences they carry long after the call is over. Tom Smith joins us to talk about his 30 years with the NYPD, his work after law enforcement, and his involvement with the FBI’s international terrorism team. His passion is bringing attention to our heroes and community service members and helping people understand what they experience behind the scenes. While the average person may experience three or four traumatic events throughout their lifetime, those working in law enforcement and other high-stress service careers can experience thousands. Tom is dedicated to telling those stories, creating conversations, and making sure the people who serve know that their experiences matter. We are also joined through music by James Corbin, whose songs come directly from his experiences serving, leading, and trying to make sense of the things that happen along the way. James works with young people and cadets, helping them make decisions that can lead to bigger things in life. A husband, father of three, and man of faith, James talks about how writing music became a place to put the emotions and experiences that were sometimes difficult to carry anywhere else. His message is about being a light for others: eat last, make no excuses, lead from the front, and live like Christ. James also shares a powerful perspective on what it is really like to be in combat. When you're in the middle of it, you're not thinking about patriotic songs or slogans—you are thinking about the people beside you, the decisions you may have to make, and the question that can stay with you long after: Why are we here, and what are we doing? 🎵 “I Just Don’t Get It”Written in honor of James' friend TJ Hromisin, this song comes from the pain of losing a friend and the frustration of feeling that those serving far from home can be forgotten. 🎵 “Z71”Not every song has to carry the weight of war and loss. James brings a little humor and a lighter side with this hillbilly-inspired song written to help his buddies feel good, have some fun, and enjoy where they are. 🎵 “Where the Roots Raise the Road”A reminder to step away from the noise, slow down, and appreciate the quiet moments and the places that help us reconnect with ourselves. Thank you to Tom Smith and James Corbin for sharing your stories, music, knowledge, and experience with us. We are continuing to build opportunities for connection, support, and camaraderie throughout our military, veteran, first responder, and community service families.

Episode 322 This episode is filled with stories, remembrance, music, and the importance of making sure the stories of those who served are never forgotten. Christy Sauro, Jr. joins us to talk about his book, Twins Platoon, which shares the stories of men from the St. Paul area who went to Vietnam. The goal is more than simply telling stories—it is about remembering these men, honoring their service, and reaching the families who may still carry those memories today. Chris shares what it was like being part of the food tent platoon, with approximately 110 Marines and four women, and how the group left from the Twins field before heading out. While Twins Platoon focuses on these particular veterans, Chris believes there is an even bigger mission: these stories should be preserved and shared for all who have served. We were also joined by Anna and Stephen Abernathy, sharing their music and the stories behind their songs. The duo has been busy working on new music, with 11 songs currently in the works, including Cherokee Roses and Top Shelf Liquor coming next. 🎵 “22 – Never Came Home” – Stephen wrote this song about a friend who, after his service, died by suicide. While the song honors his friend, its message reaches much further—to anyone who has served and may be struggling. Their hope is that the song helps people feel more comfortable talking about what they are going through. 🎵 “Broke” – A song about struggle, perseverance, and continuing to live with love even when life gets difficult. 🎵 “I Can’t Say No To You” – A successful and popular song that captures the personality of Anna and Stephen as a duo. What was originally planned to be their only duet ultimately became part of what defines their sound together. Chris, Anna, and Stephen—thank you for sharing your stories, music, knowledge, and experiences with us! There is always something happening at The People’s Patriot Project! 🇺🇸 MN Monthly Muster – Meet & Greet 🛡️ Firearms & Safety Classes with Johnny Holliday 🍂 Fall Market – October 3, 2026, at Post 6587 – Krause-Hartig VFW 🥾 Grapes of Rucking Wrath – Planning is underway with Alexis Bailly Vineyard & Winery, with October 24, 2026, being targeted for the event.

Episode 321 is all about making the transition out of the military a little less overwhelming — and a lot more understandable. Terrina Russell joins us from Mayinmidlife, where she uses a unique blend of education and entertainment (“edutainment”) to help service members understand what life can look like when they leave the military. From the mountain of information that comes in that infamous transition folder to the things nobody really tells you about, Terrina works to make the process easier to understand, more relatable, and even a little more fun — crayons included! 🙂 The information provided during military transition can be overwhelming, and simply handing someone a folder full of paperwork and emails doesn't necessarily mean they know what to do with it. Terrina is helping extend that education beyond the initial separation process and giving veterans a more approachable way to prepare for what comes next. We also spend some time enjoying the music of Stevie Lynne, an artist who writes and sings about real, everyday life. Her music creates a feeling of connection — almost like sitting down with someone and having an honest conversation where you can simply be yourself. 🎵 Music Spotlight – Stevie Lynne “Tobacco” – A beautiful expression of appreciation and Stevie's first attempt at writing a country-western song. “We Are the People” – A powerful and patriotic song inspired by the dramatic changes and division we've witnessed in our world. The song speaks to the way people can become villainized from both sides and reminds us that, regardless of where we stand, there is still importance in loving one another and remembering that we are all people. “The Bottom” – Another opportunity to hear Stevie's storytelling through music and the real-life experiences that inspire her songwriting. From preparing for life after military service to finding connection through music, this episode reminds us that sometimes the best way forward is to make complicated things a little easier to understand — and to make sure people know they aren't walking through it alone.
