Episode 56: Norm Bowens, Mike Masello and the Brotherhood of Vietnam Veterans

Norm Bowens and Mike Masello served in Vietnam at different times and at different places. Still, they each brought something home so common to veterans who served in combat: PTSD. Many years later, a chance encounter around a specific chair at a group meeting led the two to become fast friends and brothers. Both flew together on Honor Flight Chicago's 109th mission to Washington, D.C., in July of 2023. Here they share their individual stories of service and their shared journey on the long road of healing.
