VFW National Commander Al Lipphardt is a battle-tested infantryman turned national leader, serving as the voice of more than 1.4 million members of the VFW and its Auxiliary, and he’s not afraid to use it.
From the jungles of Vietnam to the halls of Congress, Lipphardt has fought both on the battlefield and in the broken systems veterans face after war. In this episode, he dives into the cold truth about burnout, veteran suicide, and what real leadership looks like when the parades end and the pain sets in.
This one’s for every vet who still carries the fight.
