Guest: Rich Karki

It's a Trucker Thursday and that means the weekend is relatively close! Celebrity birthdays include Christian Bale, Gene Hackman and Phil Collins. While Jim and his wife Dona love Phil, Maino is not a fan. He feels like his music is "too soft". Do you have thoughts on that? Then in our Veterans Salute from Olson Legal Group, we speak with Vietnam Marine Veteran Rich Karki. One of the stories Rich shares is that he chose The Marines because he didn't want to be on a boat. Then he found out that the Marines are on boats. He also shares the story of walking and feeling like someone tugged on his uniform. By the time he looked back to see what it was, he was already flying in the air. He walked into a booby trap. Rich says he still thinks and has nightmares about his time in Vietnam, including the time another soldier died in his arms. We're so thankful for the service Rich and other veterans have given to our country. The Veterans Salute on Maino and the Mayor is brought to you by Nate Olson at Olson Legal Group. A veteran-owned business in Oshkosh and Berlin, specializing in estate planning, real estate, and all business matters. Visit them HERE.
