The Protectors® Podcast
The Protectors® Podcast is where powerful stories ignite purpose. Hosted by Jason Piccolo—a retired federal agent, former U.S. Army Infantry Captain (Iraq 2006), and author—the show explores the human side of courage, resilience, and leadership.
More than a podcast about service, it’s a platform for storytelling that empowers. Each episode highlights personal journeys of adversity, sacrifice, redemption, and triumph—revealing the mindset, discipline, and heart behind extraordinary lives. From frontline professionals to bestselling authors and acclaimed actors, the conversations uncover how real experiences inspire the stories that move us—and how storytelling itself becomes a force for strength and transformation.

I was honored to have Debbie Lee on The Protectors podcast. Debbie was an amazing guest, with an unmatched strength. Debbie is continuing her son Marc’s mission to help others through charity and with her kindness. Debbie is a Gold Star mother, losing her son Marc in Iraq in 2006. Marc Alan Lee was the first Navy SEAL killed in Ramadi, Iraq 8-2-06. A member of SEAL Team 3, Charlie platoon, Marc made the ultimate sacrifice defending his teammates. Marc was awarded the Silver Star, Bronze Star w Valor, and the Purple Heart for his heroic actions. Marc’s name means “Mighty Warrior.”
Random acts of kindness… from Marc’s Last Letter Home.. Ask yourself when was the last time you donated clothes that you hadn’t worn out. When was the last time you paid for a random stranger’s cup of coffee, meal or maybe even a tank of gas? When was the last time you helped a person with the groceries into or out of their car? Think to yourself and wonder what it would feel like if when the bill for the meal came and you were told it was already paid for. More random acts of kindness like this would change our country and our reputation as a country.
America’s Mighty Warriors Mission is to honor the sacrifices of our troops and the fallen and their families by providing programs that improve quality of life, resiliency and recovery.
