What happens when music becomes a lifeline, capturing the stories and struggles veterans carry silently? Today’s guests, Bronson Hetzer and Cody Doench, from The Filthy Heathens, take us on an emotional journey through their song “Cyril,” a tribute to a fallen friend lost to suicide after combat.

It’s a gut-punching reminder of why staying connected matters and why reaching out could save lives. Discover how their music serves as therapy, healing wounds that words alone can’t touch, and how the power of brotherhood transcends even the darkest days.

Stay until the end for the full song. It’s one you won’t forget.
