In this special Memorial Day edition of Salute: A National Salute to America's Heroes, host General Harencak sits down with two of the most influential voices in the defense community: General Thomas A. Bussiere, Commander of Air Force Global Strike Command, and Tom Jones, Corporate VP and President of Northrop Grumman’s Aeronautics Systems.

Together, they reflect on the true meaning of Memorial Day, the sacrifice of fallen heroes, and the importance of honoring Gold Star families by saying their names out loud. From emotional personal stories to a deep dive into the evolution of America’s long-range strike capabilities — including the cutting-edge B-21 Raider — this episode explores how the synergy between military leadership and industry innovation is reshaping national defense.

Here are just a few things you'll hear about during this incredible podcast.  

  • The legacy of service and what drives young Americans to enlist.
  • Northrop Grumman’s powerful commitment to the veteran workforce.

Whether you're in uniform, part of the defense industry, or simply a grateful citizen, this episode is a heartfelt reminder of what it means to serve, and the sacred duty we all share in remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Listen now and join us in saluting America’s heroes.
