#115 Renos for Heroes with Jim Caruk and two veterans on Remembrance Day 2020

10 years ago Jim was on a road trip across Canada and with a phone call from a friend about his son in law returning from Afghanistan and struggling with his family and new born, Jim came up with Renos for Heroes and wanting to do something. We open the show with Mike and Dean sharing when they join the service and when they retired, the beginning as it turned out was a choice between military or prison, that old cliché. We discuss the connection between every service person and how that brotherhood and sisterhood carries on through the years. A lot of service people transition into the trades and Mike and Dean are a lot like that, they discuss the reasons behind the military and construction and how we can all help veterans transition into the workforce.

We have a moment of silence for all of the military service people around the world. Thank you for your service.

Thanks Mike and Dean for being on the show and sharing so much about military service and construction. Thank you Jim for starting a charity helping military service people, Renos For Heroes.
