In this show we mark the 20th Anniversary of the 1032nd combat deployment, who took off on April 4th, 2003 to enter the War in Iraq. Soldiers from Moonshine hollers, to coal country, and everywhere in-between came together, in a wild time, with no real understanding of why they were even there. In this show we get perspectives from all around as we welcomed back Emmette Bird, Casey Brannon, and Poo, with Wes Brickey for the first time in a year, and for the first time James Adams. This is a great show that'll give you a new respect from the average man who was asked to to above average tasks!!https://www.patreon.com/GetOnTaphttps://www.appalachianpodcast.orghttps://www.facebook.com/AppalachianPodcasthttps://twitter.com/GetOnTaphttps://www.facebook.com/harwellgriceSupport the show
