In  this episode, host Robert J. Marks continues his conversation with retired major general Bobby Hollingsworth about his experiences in the U.S. Marines and his work advocating for reservists at the Pentagon. Hollingsworth unpacks the meaning of “Semper Fi” in the Marine Corps and the importance of supporting his fellow marines as riflemen on the pointed end of the spear. He discusses his efforts at the Pentagon to educate employers on the Uniform Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERA) and the value that reservists can bring to civilian workplaces. Hollingsworth shares his personal experiences defending the right to hold a voluntary Bible study for Pentagon employees, which faced opposition before ultimately being allowed to continue. Hollingsworth draws parallels between the discipline and training he received in the Marines and the commitment needed to live a life of faith.
