In celebration of Veterans Day here is an interview with Joseph Puchalski, long time National Guardsman who had been deployed to Afghanistan. Joe served in a combat mission as a force protection platoon sergeant in Afghanistan. Joe’s team provided support and security for a provincial reconstruction team that helped with rebuilding Afghanistan schools, roads, hospitals, mosques and so forth. Joe’s wife Jean is principal consultant at Individual Difference at Work. She specializes in leadership development, coaching, building resiliency, and post deployment reintegration programs.

For everyone who wants to understand more about the feelings of a veteran who is away for the holidays involved in a combat mission, Joe provides insights about what it is like to be in a combat mission far from home over the holidays. He talks about the military environment and how the military makes great efforts to help members of all religions to experience some of the traditions associated with their religious beliefs. And while it is quite different than being at home with family there is a lot that people at home can do to make it meaningful. Learn about “flat daddies” and how they are a tool to help young children stay connected to their fathers who are away on military service.

The show originally aired in two parts in December 2010 and in January 2011.
