court as cross the country. they offer alternatives to incarceration for veterans suffering from mental health and substance abuse problems. it s a great program helping some vets get their services and their lives back on track. here s my interview with martin sheen, and i began by asking him why he s so passionate about the veterans community. well whenever i am associated with anything to do with veterans my mind flashes immediately to one of my heroes who happens to be my brother, john, a vietnam veteran, was a marine corpsman and who had his whole life turned around in a lot of different directions and came back strong and heroic. he s still my hero. and we re grateful to him, as i m often bragging about him. but he was the first member of our family. there were nine boys in my family. six of them were in the service. and he was the first one of us to join a.a. and he encouraged all of us to get in.
he is a very misunderstood creature. i think that s why he can relate with reptiles. because they are a misunderstood creature. but most people are fake. john is not fake. i can be me. he can be himself. we re not trying to put on a facade for each other. it s like we re just us. i really enjoy being around him. he s completely different from anybody else i ve ever known, and within three months of knowing each other i moved in with him with my son. when him and i first got together, we would sit and play video games and just sit there and we would talk about everything. he was really angry, but i knew it wasn t at me. you know to hear what he saw, what he dealt with it is hard because me i want to be able to take that pain away. and i can t. i want to understand everything.
welcome back. here s part of two of john s story, wounded: the battle back home produced in part by the wounded warrior project. you ve got to walk with my face now. oh yeah. i forgot. when i started seeing michelle i don t know if she really understood what she stepped into. i slept all the time. i didn t move around. a lot of that was because i didn t know what else to do. i wasn t familiar with on your own schedule. i wasn t familiar with this every-man-for-yourself mentality. michelle adapted really quickly to someone i actually relied on maybe more than i should.
on the phone, philip cunningham, as he continues to recover. welcome to you both. thank you so much for joining us. thank you, shannon. thank you, shannon. all right. philip, you are still quarant e quarantined and recovering. tell us how you re doing and what it means to you that you found this stranger on line who gave you a perfectly good kidney. well, i consider myself to be a very, very lucky man to have met john and been the recipient of his gift of life. i am doing very well right now. my kidney is very good. it s been a real improvement. and i m going through the process. i have to stay in the house for a while, because they want me to avoid crowds and other transportation and so on. but all the kidney numbers are very, very good. and i m very appreciative of this gift. we are so, so happy to hear
that will be enough to really bring yahoo! the momentum it will need to grow as a company. i think we ll see to see marissa do something else and that s what i ll be looking for in 2014. all right. jessi, thank you so much. appreciate it. coming up next, 50 years ago the sound of shrieking fans filled more than 70 million americans and the world met john, paul, george, and ringo. the last part of the british invasion.
