Life Interrupted (Eric Fort) | S1E6

Growing up as the son of a United States Navy pilot who was killed in action during Vietnam, Eric Fort always felt a need to serve. Prior to Operation Desert Storm he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps Reserves. While serving stateside in California Eric was motivated to provide additional support for our troops and founded Lone Warriors.

Eric talks about being “called up” and having to change his life mid-college…

… then talks through what deployment was like, what it’s like to think you’re going but then not make it to the front lines… and then what it’s like coming home to a hero’s welcome that you’re not sure you deserve.

Listen for more info on Operation Therapic, a project Eric’s nonprofit spearheads… designed to impact warriors in creative ways.
