The "We're Not Lost, Private" Podcast
Whether you’re interested in learning more about the real Band of Brothers, or exploring the people, places and things associated with a wide range of World War II battles, the “We’re Not Lost, Private” Podcast is the pod for you. We focus on telling the stories of the members of the Greatest Generation who served at the bayonet point and were involved in the battles that helped define the 20th Century and beyond. We’ll talk with historians, authors, battlefield guides and family members of the men and women that were there during one of the most climactic events in human history. Learn what it was like for these service members to take part in a combat parachute assault, an amphibious assault on an enemy held beach, knocking out an enemy strong point, or countless other actions across the breath and width of World War II. The “We’re Not Lost, Private” Podcast puts you right next to them during that action.

EP32 – Black Dragon: Fox Company, 23rd Marines and Iwo Jima, w/Steven McCloud
“2-F’23” as the Fox Company veterans used to describe themselves, fought at Roi-Namur, Saipan, Tinian, and Iwo Jima. Join Steven McCloud and I as we discuss the formation of the Company, and trace its actions during World War II, including its capstone performance on Iwo. Learn about the unique individuals who, ‘manned the rails’ during this time, many of which formed the backbone of the Company’s leadership cadre. Over the course of the war, Fox experienced changes in tactics, equipment and strategy. We also discussed how they adapted to all the change and used it to propel them to victory. While Fox was much like any Marine rifle company during the war, they were still unique in their own way. Check out EP32 to find out how. Semper Fidelis!
