Today's guest is Lt. Col. Patrick Naughton, author of Born from War: A Soldier's Quest to Understand Vietnam, Iraq, and the Generational Impact of Conflict (Casemate). Born and raised in Hawaii, Patrick is a 28-year veteran of the US Army and US Army Reserves, serving first an NCO, then earning his commission through ROTC at UNLV. Among his many duties, Patrick has served as unit historian for just about every unit he's been with. He has been a Fellow at the Simons Center for Ethical Leadership and Interagency Cooperation and was awarded the Army's General Douglas MacArthur Leadership Award in 2012. He has written for Military Review, Journal of America's Military Past, the Army History Magazine, and Naval History Magazine, among others.
Patrick plans to retire to the Boston area and pursue a PhD in history - if you have suggestions for programs, let Patrick know!
Join us for a very interesting chat with Patrick Naughton. We'll talk "going mainland," fathers and sons, the Old Vegas Strip, Sublime, and writing history of the recent past.
