GV22-27. BETRAYED BY THEIR GOVERNMENT! Major Fred Galvin

July 4, 2022July 4, 2022Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Our Global Veteran with Sara Troy and her guest Major Fred Galvin (USMC-Ret), on air from July 4th

A Few Bad Men is the incredible true story of an elite team of U.S. Marines set up to take the fall for Afghanistan war crimes they did not commit—and their leader who fought for the redemption of his men.

Ambushed in Afghanistan and betrayed by their own leaders—these elite Marines fought for their lives again, back home.

A cross between A Few Good Men and American Sniper, this is the true story of an elite Marine special operations unit bombed by an IED and shot at during an Afghanistan ambush. The Marine Commandos were falsely accused of gunning down innocent Afghan civilians following the ambush. The unit’s leader, Maj. Fred Galvin, was summarily relieved of duty and his unit was booted from the combat zone. They were condemned by everyone, from the Afghan president to American generals. When Fox Company returned to America, Galvin and his captain were the targets of the first Court of Inquiry in the Marines in fifty years.

Fred Galvin served for over 26 years as a enlisted and Marine Corps officer including assignments in the infantry, reconnaissance, force reconnaissance and Marine Special Operations Command (MARSOC/Marine Raiders). He led hundreds of combat missions including raids, deep reconnaissance, ship seizures, and ambush operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and in the Arabian Gulf, Gulf of Oman and Gulf of Aden. The Marine Corps selected Galvin to command the first Marine Special Operations Task Force to deploy to combat. While conducting a combat mission in Afghanistan, Galvin and six other Marines were falsely accused of war crimes which led to the longest trial in Marine Corps history that led an acquittal.

She Was Beautiful

June 30, 2022June 30, 2022Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL…..

…. but she didn’t know what that meant.

When she was a little girl

they told her she was beautiful

but it had no meaning

in her world of bicycles

and pigtails

and adventures in make-believe.

Later, she hoped she was beautiful

as boys started taking notice

of her friends

and phones rang for

Saturday night dates.

She felt beautiful on her wedding day,

hopeful with her

new life partner by her side

but, later,

when her children called

her beautiful,

she was often exhausted,

her hair messily tied back,

no make up,

wide in the waist

where it used to be narrow;

she just couldn’t take it in.

Over the years, as she tried,

in fits and starts,

to look beautiful,

she found other things

to take priority,

like bills

and meals,

as she and her life partner

worked hard

to make a family,

to make ends meet,

to make children into adults,

to make a life.

Now,

she sat. Alone.

Her children grown,

her partner flown,

and she couldn’t remember

the last time

she was called beautiful.

But she was.

It was in every line on her face,

in the strength of her arthritic hands,

the ampleness that had

a million hugs imprinted

on its very skin,

and in the jiggly thighs and

thickened ankles

that had run her race for her.

She had lived her life with a loving

and generous heart,

had wrapped her arms

around so many to

to give them comfort and peace.

Her ears had

heard both terrible news

and lovely songs,

and her eyes

had brimmed with,

oh, so many tears,

they were now bright

even as they dimmed.

She had lived and she was.

And because she was,

she was made beautiful.

22-26 Let Summer Rejuvenate You…..

June 27, 2022July 11, 2022Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View Of Life with Sara Troy, on air form June 28th

Summer is here and we have been waiting for that sun to warm our souls, heal our hearts, lift our spirits and clear our minds. It has been a long hard winter but now summer is here, we can start freeing ourselves and let nature hold our hands and guide us into joy, love and living an exuberant life.

We feel so much better with the sun is kissing our brow, and the breeze is rustling through our hair, and that warm tingling feeling of less clothes on our bodies breathing in light and recharging every cell in our beingness. We feel so much better with our toes in the water washing away our woes, embracing our spirits and setting us free to be.

Summer is a time to let go and be free and make that discovery of self. Nature in its complex simplicity helps us to reconnect with our inner selves allowing for a deeper inner love of life and just being who we are. Take a walk on the wild side, say no to statuesque and be adventurous and explore what can be and free your self from the same old same old.

What you want is waiting for you, you just have to decide to go and get it. Stepping into a purpose, even if it is just to make people smile and or help someone out, it all helps to embrace that sunlight that is burning inside begging to come out. So let summer help you and get out side and be a part of natures healing and rejuvenate your soul, heart, spirit and mind.

ENJOY

***An Authors Kiss with Sara Troy and her guest Scott Spacek, on air from June 28th***

A Thriller By Scott Spacek

It’s 1998, and China’s political and military leaders are torn by ideological divisions. Amid these seething rivalries, Andrew Callahan arrives in Beijing fresh out of Harvard, planning to spend an adventurous year studying Mandarin and teaching at the renowned International Affairs University. The IAU is known as a training ground for diplomats and spies. But Andrew has no idea that his budding relationship with the attractive and self-assured dean’s assistant, Lily Jiang, will also entangle him in a conspiratorial web of worldwide proportions.

A CIA officer approaches Andrew and informs him that Lily’s father is a top Chinese general caught in a power struggle. The general wants to defect but won’t do so without his wife and daughter. Even more shocking is that the Agency needs Andrew’s assistance for Lily to evade round-the-clock surveillance and escape to the US.

If Andrew agrees, he’ll face lethal odds against China’s ruthless security services to help pull off one of the greatest intelligence coups in American history. If he refuses, it could cost Lily and her family their lives.

Set against the backdrop of a beautiful culture at a turbulent time, China Hand is the story of a reluctant spy and a mission whose deadly consequences continue to reverberate today.
