Listen "Where Service Becomes Story and Story Becomes Art"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textWhat happens when a veteran’s truth is shaped by a writer, interpreted by an artist, and transformed into something the world can finally see? When the silence of war is met—not with politics—but with art?With unflinching honesty, Marine Corps veteran and writer Robert LeHeup shares the story behind Bullets and Bandaids, a nonprofit that pairs veterans with writers and artists to turn lived experience into collaborative, soul-grabbing works of art.This isn’t therapy-it’s something else. It’s agency. It’s healing through connection. And it’s a bold refusal to let any story—or any veteran—be left behind.From WWII to Afghanistan, Robert explores the alchemy between trauma and creative expression—and reveals how art becomes the bridge between the unspeakable and the unforgettable.These stories don’t stay on the wall or the page. They stay with you.BulletsandBandaidsToday's episode is brought to you by the Joan of Arc Scroll Medal, a beautiful brass alloy medal, designed by award-winning artist, Pat Benincasa.
