Show #680: Sgt. Will Gardner & THCR

Today we have two great guests joining us for a double feature: Max Martini, from Sgt. Will Gardner, and THCR.

First up, the Transitional Homes for Community Reintegration (THCR) program through Operation Homefront serves veteran families who are within 12 months of discharge, served honorably, and are willing to work toward self-sufficiency by providing temporary rent-free housing, financial education, and support services. Madison Dillon, the manager of Operation Homefront’s Transitional Homes for Community Reintegration program is here to tell us more.

Next, we hear from Max Martini about the new film Sgt. Will Gardner. Will, played by Martinit, is an Iraq War veteran who suffers from a traumatic brain injury (TBI) sustained in combat that’s making it difficult for him to reintegrate into society. His PTSD causes frequent flashbacks to the Iraq War which he survives with the help of Sam (Omari Hardwick), his best friend and war buddy. A series of setbacks motivates him to embark on a spirited motorcycle journey across America with the hopes of reuniting with his son and to begin a healing process that will help him pick up the pieces of a life he lost after serving his country. The film also stars Lily Rabe, Elisabeth Rohm, Dermot Mulroney, Robert Patrick, and Gary Sinise.
