Episode 13: Jose Abraham Lopez, MD - US Army Veteran
Today on the Podcast and in honor of Veteran’s day, a very special interview with a U.S. Army Veteran that Francis and I know well.  We get an insight on what it is like to serve, the job of the enlisted in the service and to serve in the role as an officer.  The words sacrifice, challenge and demanding are mentioned.  Despite the depth of these words, they do not do justice to the true hardship our service members and their families endure to protect our freedom.  Join us today and learn about the true dedication and commitment one makes when you choose to join the armed forces.
