Time to Take a Stand: Seeking the True Change America Needs
Our Co-Host today is a man I have known all his life…my brother, Chaplain Giuseppe “Joe” Buccellato! As Chaplain, Joe continues to use his great storytelling talents to comfort and support Veterans in need. Joe has been a story and joke teller all his life, so you may say he has been in training for this new role since he got his first laughs years ago and realized he could make people smile and experience real joy. In today’s episode, Joe and I talk about our passion for serving veterans and our concerns about the current administration. We express our love for this country and the NEED for better leadership. We have to stand together to protect the United States and we encourage YOU to take action, speak up, and vote for the right candidate. Our message is one of unity, love for the country, and the urgency to make a positive change! Follow Carl: Produced by:
