Have you ever wondered what it takes to answer the call to service at an age when most are retiring? Join us as we sit down with Dr. Lanny Snodgrass, a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel and author of the forthcoming book "The Ageless Call to Service," who shares his awe-inspiring journey from providing mental health care during the Vietnam War in Bangkok to enlisting in the Army at age 63. Despite a heart condition, Dr. Snodgrass felt a profound sense of duty that led him to overcome rigorous physical demands and obtain age waivers, culminating in his role as a military psychiatrist.
In this episode, Dr. Snodgrass recounts his various military assignments, starting at Fort Riley, Kansas, and continuing to Germany, where he managed mental health referrals and supported wounded soldiers. He offers a poignant look at the psychological toll of war, the prevalence of PTSD among young soldiers, and the intricate connection between physical and psychological injuries. Dr. Snodgrass also discusses systemic issues related to age-related service criteria and shares his reflections on these experiences. Don't miss his insights and the anticipation surrounding his upcoming book, set to be released on Amazon in September, which delves deeper into these compelling topics.
