Honor is very important to Marines.  You always do the right thing. What happens when someone does something that is against their own moral framework?

What happens if it is so bad to them, that it affects their marriage and relationship with their kids? What happens if they view themselves as horrible people and end up caring a tremendous amount of guilt around with them?

It is critical to get rid of the guilt. We learn ways to cleanse,  remove guilt and lessen guilt on today’s show.



What happens when we want to help someone through these tough situations and it is hard for us to listen to the events that have taken place? How can we listen and how do the experts cope with these traumatic events?

It starts with finding someone to listen to you after you have listened. In this interview, we hear about how a community can help people through really difficult memories.

 

We are talking with Mike Moreno on the show and he talks about spirituality, the war in Iraq, and shares some topics that may be difficult for some listeners.

He is a Navy Chaplin and shares his experience with us and guides us through some of these tough questions.
