Operation Search and Rescue: Mission Statement

Trailer
Operation Search and Rescue is not merely a podcast but a call to action. We seek to reach service members who have fallen into depression upon leaving the military. Based on scholarly studies of the drivers of veteran suicide, Search and Rescue seeks to employ what we've learned to combat the vulnerabilities posing the greatest dangers to our finest Americans. We will not stop until every veteran knows that we have their back. The Warrior Ethos demands that we leave no comrade behind. That oath is alive and well, and we intend on putting it into action.
