Episode 100: Left For Dead, Frank Trout Thrives
In the jungles of Vietnam, Frank Trout took a bullet to the head. He was discovered by a unit that was not his own, bandaged, and evacuated. At some point during this process, he clinically died. Most remarkably, he knew none of this until a chance meeting at a reunion 40 years later. Frank's humor—and many adventures in life—make his story a perfect fit for this podcast's landmark 100th episode.

Episode 98: A Gold Star Family's Fight to Honor Their Fallen
Ken Duggar was badly wounded in Vietnam. He was hospitalized for months and came home to recuperate before his guilt at leaving his brothers-in-arms behind in the field led him to re-enlist. He got as far as Germany before complications from his original wounds led to his death. Because he died away from Vietnam, his sister, Phyllis, had to fight for years to have Ken's name added to the Wall. She won. This is her story.
