Finishing up part 3 of 3 podcast series with my father, 1SG Phillips. We’ve spoken about his time in the military, from his initial draft notice in 1971 to his time in Ranger School and finishes up his career at East Range in Wahiawa, Hawaii to being a First Sergeant to his 20 years and retirement.

During his podcast, he mentions several things that I want to provide a link:

Vietnam Veteran 1SG Jimmy Akuna (Born 29 July 1951 and Passed Away August 26, 2020)
