The NFL Salute To Service game for the Niners is this weekend vs the Seattle Seahawks. This is a very special game for us and everyone involved as we honor those who have served our country. We have special military / veteran guests attending the game this week and one of them is joining us on the podcast.

In this episode Bruce sits down with Lieutenant Colonel John Park, who is in year 23 of a distinguished career with the United States Marine Corps, and is planning to retire in June of 2025.

Joined by his wife Megan, they tell the story of him maneuvering, surviving and thriving through the Marine Corps over all these years. John enlisted in the Marine Corps following high school after a great experience in football because he loved the teamwork and camaraderie. John also wanted to serve his country and chose the Marine Corps. Before he had finished Boot Camp, 911 struck and within a month he was deployed. Working his way up through the non-commission ranks, he eventually finished his college degree and was accepted as a commissioned officer. John now serves as Commanding Officer of the Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 11, at Miramar Air base in San Diego.

We are proud to have John and his family joining us this weekend at Levi's Stadium, along with 4 of his closest friends, also long-time Marine Corps members. Tune in for more about John's career, his mindset, lessons learned, and his vision for the future (as he looks to join the space program!). This is an entertaining and enlightening discussion and we know you’ll enjoy it.
