Tony Lupo and Ryan Fairfield are the co-founders of The Warrior Next Door Podcast that features interviews they conducted (over 200 in total) as volunteers for the Library of Congress.
Our mission statement is simple and direct: We aim to share these amazing stories we stood witness to with a wider audience and reinforce the idea that events from the past are relevant today.
Our Vision is to connect with like minded individuals and help develop a new generation of citizen historians who crave substance and a deeper understanding of the human condition.
