🎖️ The voice you've heard across the internet. The heart you've never seen.
Command Sergeant Major David Waldo - the top enlisted leader overseeing ALL five active duty Green Beret groups and two National Guard groups - delivers his most powerful interview yet in honor of Master Sergeant Gregory Trent, KIA Afghanistan 2012.

What CSM Waldo reveals:
His viral definition: "You're brilliant and you're compassionate. And you're lethal. But above all you love deeply... Sometimes you won't even notice that warrior love until there's chaos and 7.62 rounds ripping past breaking the sound barrier next to you."

Raw truth about the Q-Course: "We don't build character throughout our SFAS or our Q course. We don't build character, but we sure as hell define it."
His message to struggling warriors: "Stop looking at the damn tree. Look where you want to go. If you can't see it, let's figure out what that is and take a chance on you."

The lighthouse promise to Gold Star families: "We owe it to the Gold Stars to be the lighthouse - there if you need us, there when you want us."
