The transition from military service to civilian life is one of the most profound journeys a veteran can face. Finding a renewed sense of purpose is key to shaping this next chapter.
In this powerful episode, I sit down with Col. (Ret) Bill Butler, the acting president of The National Veterans Memorial and Museum in Columbus, Ohio. Known as the only museum of its kind that honors all U.S. veterans, the NVMM tells the deeply personal and inspiring stories of those who answered the call to serve.
Through immersive exhibits, personal artifacts, and multimedia storytelling, the museum creates a deeply moving experience that pays tribute not only to servicemen and women but also to the families who supported them. This is not just a war memorial; it’s a journey into the lives, sacrifices, and shared humanity of veterans from all eras of service.
Bill Butler brings a lifetime of leadership and service to this mission. A retired infantry officer with nearly three decades of experience, his remarkable career spans combat deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, service as a technical adviser for Black Hawk Down, and leadership roles at the highest levels of the Army. Now, he’s dedicated to preserving and amplifying the voices of America’s veterans.
Tune in as we explore:
- How Bill transitioned from the battlefield to leading one of the country’s most unique museums.
- The importance of storytelling in honoring those who’ve served.
- Why the NVMM stands out as a beacon of remembrance and education for all Americans.
- Lessons on leadership, purpose, and finding meaning in life after service.
Whether you're a veteran, a military family member, or someone inspired by stories of service, this episode will leave you reflecting on the incredible power of shared experiences and the enduring legacy of those who serve.
