    Hook Line & Heroes: Finding Peace for Veterans on the Water
    Jun 11 2026
    Allan McCoy, founder and president of the nonprofit Hook Line & Heroes, shares how his passion for veterans and fishing—shaped by his father’s experience as a WWII D-Day veteran—led him to create a Christian-based organization focused on helping veterans, especially those with service-connected disabilities, find relief and peace through small, guided fishing trips. He explains why Hook Line & Heroes prioritizes quality over quantity, covering costs like guides, meals, lodging, and gratuities, and keeping trips to one to four veterans to ensure they feel valued and supported. Allan describes their application and verification process, the current backlog, and how supporters can help through social media, fundraising, monthly donations, and sponsorships.

    Weezy Talks: Sharing Stories, Building Connections
    May 14 2026
    Weezy encourages everyone—especially veterans and families—to record and preserve their life stories now so future generations can hear their voice and understand their experiences. She explains she captures stories virtually (often via Zoom) or through simple phone audio/video, and shares a personal example: her husband was abruptly laid off after 21 years with little gratitude, echoing how many Vietnam-era veterans returned without appreciation. Weezy notes her video and podcast work, including Life Mosaic and a forthcoming show, The Decision Line, and mentions she’s moving to Jonesborough, Tennessee. Attendees share brief testimonials about her past veteran-related recordings. Navy Week guests then speak, including a Navy chaplain who describes his duties of caring for service members, advising command, conducting faith-based services, and facilitating support across different beliefs, and a mass communication specialist who documents Navy Week events and explains his media role. 00:00 Weezy Takes the Mic 00:23 Why Stories Matter 02:10 Barry Laid Off Suddenly 06:10 No Thanks for Service 08:23 Record Your Legacy Now 09:22 Sponsor Farewell and Links 10:27 New Podcast The Decision Line 11:43 Q&A Weezy Origin Story 15:59 Veterans Appreciate the Mission 18:43 Testimonials and Lasting Impact 21:11 Moving to Tennessee History 24:48 Brandon Honors Family Service 26:57 Navy Chaplain Shares His Journey 33:47 Mass Comm Specialist Behind Camera 36:41 Where to Find Navy Visuals 37:03 Closing Thanks Podcast Sponsors Right At Home Care Patrol Weezy Inc
