DIA Connections - Episode 9: Spirit

The Spirit of Hope Award, named for entertainment legend Bob Hope,
is awarded to men and women of the armed forces, entertainers, and
other distinguished Americans, for outstanding patriotism and
service to the United States of America. This episode of DIA
Connections features a conversation with April Maletz, who in 2020,
became the first Defense Intelligence Officer to ever win this
prestigious award for her volunteer efforts in bringing veterans to
Washington DC to visit the memorials created in their honor. Along
with April are two other stories certain to lift the spirits. A
discussion about Theodor Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss, and his clever
contributions for the enlisted during WWII. And a conversation with
Grammy Award winning artist Lee Greenwood, whose song, “God Bless
the USA” has become an American anthem for patriotism.
