  • From The Brown Water Navy In Vietnam To High Command: Admiral Bill Retz

    From The Brown Water Navy In Vietnam To High Command: Admiral Bill Retz
    Nov 11 2024

    While patrolling the waterways in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta as Operations Officer, Bill Retz nearly lost his life. Doctors advised him that his navy career was over yet—defying the odds after a difficult recovery—he ultimately rose to the rank of Rear Admiral. Among his commands were the destroyer USS Stump and the Naval War base at Pearl Harbor. As Destroyer Squadron commander he was closely involved in anti-submarine warfare and in early tests of the Tomahawk cruise missile system.

  • SOG Legend John Stryker "Tilt" Meyer Is Back! (Part One)

    SOG Legend John Stryker "Tilt" Meyer Is Back! (Part One)
    Nov 4 2024

    Special Forces legend "Tilt" Meyer is back in a special two-part episode, sharing stories from his new book “On The Ground!”

    If you joined MACV-SOG–-the Studies and Observations Group—in the 1960s for America's "Secret War" in Laos and Cambodia, the first thing you did was sign an oath to never speak about what happened for 20 years. Now able to speak freely, Tilt shares the sheer adventure and reality of jungle combat. Each SOG team was named after a U.S. state, and they were comprised of both American and local Vietnamese soldiers.

    HBH is thrilled to have him back to describe the friendships, firefights, and fortitude of this remarkable fighting group.

Absolutely incredible!

I listen to the new episodes the minute they drop! Great interviews, even better storytelling. One of the best podcasts I listen to — and I listen to podcasts every single day.
