I believe that that's a foundational principle of having the virtue of integrity is that you do what you say you're going to do, when you're going to do it, and if you can't, you have to make up for it, and you always tell the truth you know, makes it easier to remember things if you're always honest about it.
Todd Desgrosseilliers has a story that spans over three decades of service, sacrifice, and resilience. In this episode of 'Voices of Valor', host Allen Steele sits down with Todd, a Marine Corps veteran whose career is marked by courage and dedication. From enlisting in 1985 to becoming an infantry officer and commanding various units, Todd's journey is nothing short of extraordinary. He shares vivid memories from his deployments, including intense combat experiences in Iraq where he was wounded multiple times.
But Todd's story doesn't end on the battlefield. After being medically retired due to his injuries, he found a new mission: helping fellow veterans heal through Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing. This episode dives into Todd's transition from military life to civilian life, highlighting the therapeutic power of fly fishing and the importance of community support. Todd also reflects on the qualities that make an effective leader and the value of surrounding oneself with good people.
His advice for younger service members is both heartfelt and practical. Whether you're a veteran, a family member, or someone interested in stories of resilience, this episode offers a powerful narrative of hope and recovery.
