I sit with Eric Weaver to trace the road from Gulf War service through hidden trauma, the life-changing role of a service dog, and the rise of Broward Vet Working as a practical, human network for veterans across South Florida. The talk blends hard truths, humor, and clear steps anyone can take to plug in.

• RIF fallout, base closures, and early exit impacts
• The slow arrival of trauma and loss of empathy
• How Gent the service dog interrupts panic and nightmares
• Inside Patriot Service Dogs training and pairing
• Founding Broward Vet Working from 10 to 350 members
• Jobs, VA navigation, legal help, and emergency support
• Activities that rebuild connection and purpose
• Becoming a 501c3 to fund meals and expand reach
• Membership options and transition support for new vets
• How to join and what meetings feel like
