This is part one of a two-part podcast. Host Tim K. sits down with Medal of Honor Recipient Kyle Carpenter, at his home in Charlotte, North Carolina. Kyle is the youngest Medal of Honor Recipient currently living and was only the third Marine to receive our nation’s most prestigious honor since the beginning of the GWOT (Global War On Terrorism). On the podcast, Kyle discusses his youth always on the move and how it better prepared him for his time in the Marine Corps. He also speaks on his time in combat and that fateful day on a Marjah rooftop that would cement his legacy forever in the Halls of Marine Corps lore. Beyond that, Carpenter speaks on what it truly means to live a life of service even after the military. Part two of the podcast will premier 10/6.
