Scott DeLuzio Host - Drive On Podcast

Scott is an Army veteran who served in the Connecticut Army National Guard as an Infantryman and was deployed to Afghanistan in 2010. Like many soldiers who deploy to combat, that deployment changed Scott forever. Drive On Podcast talks about the challenges soldiers face when coming back home. Reacquainting with loved ones, finding a purpose outside of the military, and the struggles that come with it all.

If we're going to get better, we have to start talking about the problems we're facing.
