In this powerful episode of Operation Onward, we sit down with Scott DeLuzio, a U.S. Army combat Veteran and Gold Star brother whose story will move and inspire you. While serving in Afghanistan, Scott and his brother were both deployed when tragedy struck — a moment that would change his life forever. Scott shares his raw and personal journey through grief, PTSD, and healing, while keeping his brother’s legacy alive through his book, Surviving Son. This is more than just a veteran interview — it’s a conversation about sacrifice, service, mental health, and how veterans can find purpose after the military. Whether you’re a veteran, military family member, or supporter of those who served, this episode speaks to the heart of the veteran experience and the strength it takes to carry on.
