In this episode of “Soldiers, Stories & Songs”, Guy (Jaquier) and Adam (Rossi) spend time with Army combat engineer Mike “Doc Straw” Swart. Mike served from 2004-2013 and deployed twice to the Middle East, first near Fallujah in Iraq and later to Asadabad in the Kunar Province in Afghanistan, conducting road clearance for IEDs and other explosives. Following Mike’s separation from the Army, he went back to school and became a doctor of physical therapy focusing on how the body and brain changes when we are subjected to stressful experiences/environments. Mike currently lives in Virginia and fronts an alternative rock band called “Doc Straw and the Scarecrows”. During this podcast, Mike presents three of his original songs, including:
“Get On By”
“For The Broken”
“Situational Awareness”
