Untold Valor is a compelling podcast series that offers listeners an intimate look at the lives of veterans struggling with mental health challenges, addiction, physical disabilities, and other issues unique to those who have served. Hosted by Voice & Vision's CompeerCORPS program in Southeastern Pennsylvania, this podcast is made possible by veterans who provide peer mentoring friendships to promote healing power through camaraderie support.
The show's focus is on telling the stories of these brave men and women who have faced adversity head-on. Through interviews with experts in the field and personal accounts from veterans themselves – like Jonathan Bittner discussing his loss on the battlefield or Roy Remone finding purpose after trauma – Untold Valor provides an honest glimpse into what it means to be a veteran today.
One common theme throughout the series is how crucial support systems are for veterans. Listeners will hear about organizations such as CompeerCORPS that work tirelessly to create networks of friendship between vets battling similar struggles. The importance of mentorship can't be overstated when it comes to overcoming destructive behaviors.
Another topic discussed frequently on Untold Valor centers around mental health stigmas within military culture. Darryl Howell shares his experience with stigmatization while serving in the Navy but also highlights how mentorship played a positive role in his recovery journey.
The emotional toll physical challenges take on soldiers' lives post-deployment also gets attention during several episodes like Donald Carter's story of dealing with physical disabilities while serving or John Sheaffer's struggle adjusting back home after combat service.
Throughout each episode - whether discussing military culture or coping mechanisms - listeners will find inspiring insights into what it takes for our heroic servicemen and women to overcome adversities specific only to them. The conversations are raw; emotions run high but ultimately leave you feeling hopeful for our nation’s heroes as they continue their journey towards peace through healing.
