Warfighters Diary
Welcome to Warfighters Diary, the podcast that shares the raw, unfiltered stories of those who have fought battles both on the frontlines and within. From veterans who have served in combat to those who’ve faced the personal wars of addiction and PTSD, we dive deep into the journeys of recovery, redemption, and strength.
In every episode, we sit down with real warfighters—people who’ve carried heavy burdens, endured unimaginable challenges, and yet, have found ways to rise again. These are the stories of survival, of finding light in the darkest places, and of the unbreakable bonds forged through shared experience.
Because we’re all warfighters, and every battle matters.

Warfighters Diary
Episode 1: Don
War changes you. It leaves scars—some you can see, and others that run far deeper. But no one should have to carry those burdens alone.
Welcome to Warfighters Diary, a podcast where combat veterans share their stories—raw, unfiltered, and real. These are the voices of those who’ve faced the unthinkable, lived through it, and are still fighting—not just on the battlefield, but at home.
This isn’t just about war. It’s about what comes after. The struggles with PTSD, depression, addiction—and the hope that comes with healing. Our mission? To show every veteran listening that help exists, recovery is possible, and you are never alone.
So whether you’re a fellow warrior, a loved one trying to understand, or someone who just wants to hear the truth behind the uniform… this is Warfighters Diary.
