We kick off The National Defense Podcast by speaking with actor, filmmaker, and champion for veterans’ causes: Tom Hanks. Randy and Tom discuss his long-running career in entertainment, what draws him to portray men in uniform (or dance to Carly Rae Jepsen) and how he became the Chairman of the Elizabeth Dole Foundation’s Hidden Heroes initiative. Tom discusses his diagnosis and recovery from COVID-19 and what he looks forward to doing when the dust of the global pandemic settles.   For more great content, visit us online at thenationaldefense.com
