All Things A Soldier's Child Podcast: Recent Episodes
STP Productions
Welcome to All Things A Soldier's Child. This podcast is showcasing the incredible work being done by nationally recognized, "A Soldier's Child Foundation". A Soldier’s Child (ASC) Foundation was founded by Daryl J.W. Mackin after his neighbors lost their son, Marine Staff Sergeant Marcus Golczynski in Iraq on March 27, 2007. Many families of our fallen ask “did it matter and does anybody even care.” Marcus wrote this in a letter to his family and friends before he was killed on the battlefield; “Stand beside us, because we would do it for you.” How do we do that now that they are gone? Care for their children that have been left behind.
