Victor Lezama was a CWO3 Helicopter Pilot with the United States Army and the Marine Corps previously who served in both Iraq and Afghanistan.  In October of 2010 he took part in a dangerous mission to recover a downed helicopter just two months before he was set to retire.  This mission is featured in an upcoming book by Wesley Morgan called "The Hardest Place."  In this episode we also discuss the difficulties Veterans have in returning home and the continuing issue of Veteran suicide that has affected him personally.  We also talk about his non-profit Veteran Community Center project in Muskogee, Oklahoma called The Barracks.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/toddatkinsshow/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/toddatkinsshow/support
