This episode honors the men and women who served in the U.S. armed forces by sharing stories of wildlife conservation intersecting with the military.

Seeing as this episode releases on Memorial Day, Lake thought it would only be fitting to use it as opportunity to honor our the men and women who served the United States armed forces. This week, we will hear four different stories where wildlife conservation and the U.S military just so happened to overlap in some pretty incredible ways.
