**************SPECIAL EPISODE******************
Today's MUST-WATCH and LISTEN special episode features our exclusive interview with United States Army Veteran and Country Recording Artist Ryan Weaver. Ryan’s personal story is like no other artist in country music today. Growing up with a family of eleven in a small town in Floral City, Florida, he joined the Army right after high school. He graduated top of his class in flight school, becoming a Black Hawk Aviator. In April 2003, he deployed to Baghdad International Airport in Iraq. Shortly after, one of his brothers, Aaron, was deployed just west of him in Fallujah. On January 8, 2004, Aaron was killed in action when the Medivac helicopter he was a passenger in was shot down by enemy fire. Ryan certainly understood mortality and the risks of combat… After all, Aaron had survived the bloody 1993 battle in Mogadishu, Somalia – the same battle that became the basis for the movie, Black Hawk Down. Ryan joins us today to talk about the last time he saw his brother Aaron alive and the song and music video twenty years in the making that pays tribute to his lost brother, What You Think of Me. Tune in to hear the director's cut of that video, and after the interview, Ryan's hit single, Burn, featuring Kris “Tanto” Paranto and John “Tig” Tiegen from the movie 13 Hours: Secret Soldiers of Benghazi.
