U.S. Army veteran Norman Bowman and U.S. Navy veteran Valerie Bigby discuss their time in the military, their transition from military to civilian life and Thanksgiving. 

Notes:

• Look for coverage of Veterans Day 2024 activities in the physical versions of the Richmond News and The Excelsior Springs Standard, and the online versions at www.richmond-dailynews.com and excelsiorspringsstandard.com.
• A challenge: Share your experiences of assisting a veteran at news@leaderpress.com. We'll share your stories on the air!
• To advertise on "Ray County Voices," contact Shelby Coin at (816) 776-5454 or sales@leaderpress.com.
• As this episode went public, it was looking less likely that the U.S. Military Academy and U.S. Naval Academy will play each other for the American Athletic Conference (AAC) title. Army was 9-0 overall and 7-0 in the AAC. Navy was 7-2 and 5-1. 
• After this episode was recorded and mixed, Shawn learned that the United States isn't the only country that observes Thanksgiving on the final Thursday of November. Brazil also observes it then!
