Podcast Description – Ep. 288: The Fog of War and Humanity with Andy Menechella (Part 1)
In this moving first installment, host Richard Acritelli sits down with Andy Menechella, a Brooklyn-born ballplayer whose dreams of joining the Mets were cut short when he was drafted to serve in the Vietnam War. From growing up in Williamsburg and Queens to his father’s haunting experience as a World War II POW, Andy shares the path that led him from the baseball diamond to the jungles of Tigerland.
Hear how this young New Yorker’s toughness, humor, and heart carried him through basic training, fear, and the chaos of deployment. Part 1 sets the stage for a gripping story of courage, brotherhood, and survival amid the fog of war.
