From Service to Purpose: Building Communities for Veterans

Today on The Field Op, I sit down with retired Navy Chief Elton McLaughlin and Navy veteran Jermaine Lamb of the Unbound Second Watch Foundation.

We discuss military service, transition, veteran housing, VA benefits, disability claims, homeownership, and the ongoing mission of helping veterans and their families build stronger futures.

These gentlemen are proving that leadership doesn't end when the uniform comes off.

If you're a veteran navigating transition, benefits, housing, or simply looking for purpose after service, this episode is for you.

Listen now.
