It was a true honor to speak with Michael Korman, U.S. Navy Retired Seabee, on this week’s episode. Michael is being recognized at the Elizabeth Dole Foundation’s 10th Annual National Convening on Military and Veteran Caregiving, on May 20, 2025, for his remarkable advocacy on behalf of military and veteran caregivers.
In our conversation, Michael opens up about his journey caring for his father-in-law, a Vietnam veteran affected by Agent Orange. He offers powerful insights into the challenges caregivers face, especially when navigating the VA system, and stresses the crucial role families play in supporting our nation’s heroes. His advocacy work with the Elizabeth Dole Foundation is both inspiring and necessary.
This episode is a tribute to the unsung heroes behind the scenes—the caregivers—and a call to action for greater recognition and support for their tireless work.
