Carson Daly interview with Severe Clear creator Mike Scotti

Posted on July 14, 2010 by Troy| Leave a comment

A few months back we had former Marine CPT Mike Scotti on You Served Radio talking about his expereinces in Afghanistan and Iraq and about his making of the movie “Severe Clear”. I have personally talked to Mike some since then about some different initiatives he is working on just catching up since we interviewed him. Recently he was profiled on co-creator of the #militarymon trend on twitter, Carson Daly (who co-created the tag with our great friend Greta Perry of www.kissmygumbo.com). It was a great interview and gives the viewer a little more insight into Mike’s thinking.

Video Interview with Craig Morgan

Posted on July 10, 2010 by Troy| Leave a comment

If you don’t know Craig Morgan you should. He is a hell of a singer and quite a patriot. A soldiers, Jumpmaster with a combat jump, veteran of Operation Just Cause, and very talented country singer just to name a few of his traits. I was only supposed to get five minutes with Craig, but it turned into more like 15-20 minutes. We were invited into his private bus and got to spend some time before and a lot of time after the interview below talking with him. Craig was a 13F (Forward Observer) in the army and has served in Korea and in the 3rd Ranger Battalion. In fact, in our discussions after the interview Craig and I realized we both knew and served with some of the same people.

This interview is between Troy of YouServed.com and country superstar and former airborne jumpmaster, Craig Morgan. Craig was recently playing at Jam in the Valley in Varysburg, NY where Troy caught up with him. The interview was performed in Craig’s tour bus just a little while before he went on stage to play.

Video of the Day: Troop

Posted on May 19, 2010 by Troy| 1 Comment

This is an awesome video and song put together by Mr. Joe Roos and Johnny Angelo.

It is a “rap” song, but I can guarantee you that even if you don’t like rap music this is one like you have never seen or heard before. Truly a song hat pays tribute to Troops. “Troop” is a Joe Roos original, that honors all service members, but is from the perspective of a Soldier of the 34th Red Bull Infantry Division. “Troop” was shot and produced during the Red Bull’s deployment to Basra, Iraq. Produced by Johnny J. Angelo Concept/Song//Lyrics/Music: Joe Roos Supporting Vocals: Debi Kilde Music Production: Jim Morgan, Conduit Sound Also available in high definition.

Now here is the best part, we will have Mr. Roos and Mr. Angelo on You Served Radio tomorrow night. We will be talking to them about why they did this video, what they hoped to achieve from it and what the reaction has been. All of that plus a little about their tours in Iraq. Be sure to join us at www.blogtalkradio.com/youserved on Thursday night at 7PM EST.

Interview with John G – Home for our Troops from You Served Radio & Blog on Vimeo.

This is a great interview with a great guy about a great organization. Home for our Troops was one of the profiled military charities at the 2010 Milblog Conference and there is a good reason why. This is an organization created by John based on his desire to support our wounded warriors. His decision to leave his own construction business and start this non-profit has had a ripple effect that has positively affected so many lives. This is an interview you HAVE to watch and then go to http://www.homesforourtroops.org/ to learn more about the organization and see if you can help.

Interview with David Marron from the Thunder Run from You Served Radio & Blog on Vimeo.

Here is the first interview that was done at the 2010 Milblog Conference. It was meant to be a test interview as David was just grabbed in order for us to do a sound and location check early Saturday morning. However we never had a chance to circle back around to to him and do the actual interview so this is all we have. The Thunder Run (http://www.thunderrun.us/) is a great site that should be followed by everyone who wants to know what is happening with military issues in the blogosphere.
