Freedom comes at a cost and, as we all can see, paid that ultimate cost.
In this heartfelt episode of 'Sober Talk with Rob', host Rob 'Benny' Benavidez takes a poignant journey back to September 11th, 2001, and the recent tragedy in Kabul, Afghanistan. As an active duty veteran, Rob shares his deeply personal reflections on these events, weaving together his childhood memories of watching 9/11 unfold on TV with his experiences in the military.
He offers a unique perspective on the sense of unity that emerged in America after the attacks, transcending race, sex, religion, and political beliefs. Rob doesn't shy away from expressing the frustrations felt by many veterans over the years, especially concerning the actions (or lack thereof) from Congress. His candid discussion touches on the heavy burden of duty and the ultimate sacrifices made by servicemen and women.
Through his moving narrative, Rob invites listeners to reflect on patriotism, the cost of freedom, and the importance of honoring those who have given their lives for their country. This episode is a stirring reminder of the enduring spirit of America and a call for unity and hope in a better world.
