There’s a New Chief in Town
A new Commander-in-Chief means a new chapter for the Veterans of Foreign Wars. In Episode 70 of Still Serving, Rob Couture and Brittany Dymond Murray recap the 127th VFW National Convention before sitting down with newly elected VFW Commander-in-Chief Cory Geisler to discuss his priorities for the year ahead. From veteran wellness and community engagement to protecting earned VA benefits and advocating for America's service members, Geisler outlines his vision for the organization. The team also provides updates on the Take Care of America's Veterans Act (TCAVA), major legal victories against predatory claims companies, and why grassroots advocacy continues to shape veterans policy. Later, actor Josh Patton (The Pacific) joins the podcast to discuss portraying Marine Sgt. J.P. Morgan, the unforgettable boot camp that prepared the cast, working with Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, and how the series forever connected him to the veteran community.   Hosts: Rob Couture – Director, VFW Public Affairs & Strategic Outreach Brittany Dymond Murray – Associate Director, VFW Public Affairs & Strategic Outreach   Featured Guests: Cory Geisler – VFW Commander-in-Chief Ryan Gallucci – Executive Director, VFW Washington Office Mike Figlioli – Chief of Staff, VFW Washington Office   Still Serving Spotlight: Josh Patton – Actor (The Pacific)   Chapters: 00:00 Intro & Roll Call 01:52 Convention recap 17:38 The Still Serving Stage 25:04 Irreverent Warriors hike 30:14 Commander-in-Chief Cory Geisler's priorities 37:50 TCAVA update 55:48 Claim Sharks update 1:03:02 Josh Patton joins the podcast 1:20:01 Inside The Pacific boot camp 1:28:58 Supporting veterans beyond the screen 1:48:49 Good of the Order
