#163 - One Soldier's Story; Bob Dole, Part I
Episode 163
Monday, 4 May, 2026
I'd love to hear your thoughts - send me a text hereSince my unique military career only saw serve in one true division, and given that I was a company commander in that division AND deployed with it to Afghanistan, the 10th Mountain Division has a special place in my heart. Because of that, I have wanted to tell the story of arguably the division's most famous soldier for some time now, and I am finally getting around to it.Many people are likely familiar with Senator Bob Dole's political career, but I wager that fewer know the specifics of his World War II service, aside from his severe injury. And it was his injury that inspired him to write his autobiography, to give people a batter understanding of what wounded warriors go through when they return from the battlefield.This week's Ghost of Arlington is:Army Sergeant Craig Lewis Nelson - Hillcrest Memorial Park and Mausoleum, Red Chute, Louisiana
