Part 1: In this episode of the 1 Mile 1 Veteran podcast, we welcome Amy Forsythe, a dedicated combat correspondent and U.S. Marine Corps veteran with nearly 18 years of service, including five deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. Transitioning to the U.S. Navy Reserve in 2010, Amy now serves as a public affairs officer, using her platform to share impactful narratives that honor and uplift others. We explore her book, "Heroes Live Here," which pays tribute to Camp Pendleton Marines post-9/11, offering insights into their sacrifices and resilience. Amy emphasizes the importance of storytelling in military life and mental wellness, sharing her experiences and the courage it takes to wear a uniform. Join us as we delve into the power of narrative and its role in connection and healing.
