If someone who's willing to risk their life for us deserves everything that we can do for them- and we need that.
Imagine navigating the skies during World War II with nothing but the stars to guide you. In this compelling episode of 'Courage to Hope', Tony Lagreca chats with the legendary David Oreck. Known for his iconic vacuum cleaners, Oreck shares a lesser-known side of his life – his experiences as a WWII navigator. He recounts the challenges of training in B-17s and B-24s, using celestial navigation, and the early days of radar technology.
But it's not just about the war; Oreck dives into the importance of honoring veterans and ensuring they receive the support they need, especially those struggling with addiction. He passionately discusses the need for better treatment and resources for these heroes. Beyond his military service, Oreck opens up about his successful business ventures, including his candle company that prides itself on healthy, USA-made products.
This episode offers a rich tapestry of history, personal triumph, and a call to action for supporting our veterans.
