   Today on Care Under Fire I chat with Rich Sherman, Rich is a former US Navy Intelligence Officer, Gulf War Veteran and is the author and photographer of “Never Home – remembering the military heroes who never returned”. This episode has a slightly different angle as instead of focusing on his own personal story, Rich shares snippets from the biographies of service personnel who paid the ultimate sacrifice in WWI and WWII. We discuss gratitude, being part of something bigger than yourself and how you can commemorate and thank someone who you can never meet in person.
