In this podcast, I talk about Veterans Day and a little about my grandfather, Richard Morris, who fought in World War 2, was captured by the Nazis and escaped. He was also a very creative person, a prolific writer, and always took a stand against corruption and hypocrisy. He was also a descendant (as I am) of one of the original signers of the Declaration of Independence, Lewis Morris.

My grandfather was a very unique soul. He was very empathetic and had a disdain for hypocrisy and grandiosity. His story differs from most veterans. I often wonder what he would think about our current social climate.
