Rediscover the 80s Honors the Armed Forces

Rediscover the '80s in cooperation with The Retro Network would like to extend a humble thank you to our Armed Forces on Armed Forces Day.  We celebrate all of those who continue to serve the nation in a variety of facets and areas and those that have served previously.  Brian and Wyatt share their experiences while both serving in the United States Air Force.  On our Rediscover the '80s/The Retro Network podcast, they discuss key points from why they chose to serve, when they served, the highlights, and so forth.

For those of you who continue or have served, we cannot thank you enough for your service.  Equally, we invite your experiences by sharing with us.

A few photos from the episode are below including a video of a C-5 Galaxy taking off.
