Episode #24: Ed Placencia

Ed Placencia is an American Hero.  Plain and simple.  As a Garrett native and first generation American, his parents taught him from an early age that the USA is the greatest country on Earth.  Despite many chances to avoid Vietnam, Ed sought out the fight believing he owed a debt to the country that had provided him and his family the opportunities for a great life.  We talk about his upbringing in Garrett, but then, in tremendous detail, Ed details the war he fought in Vietnam.  Please heed the warning that begins our episode.  I refuse to edit, as I in no way want to diminish Ed's story.  He deserves every right to tell it his way.
