Thank you for tuning in for another episode of Life’s Best Medicine. Robert McCollum is an 85-year-old Navy veteran with some amazing experiences and wisdom to share with us from his long and eventful life. He was named Mt. Soledad’s Veteran of the Year for 2020. Over the course of his career in the Navy, he served as a Navy recruiter domestically and abroad in Germany, a torpedoman, and a launcher technician. Following his career in the Navy, he took the position of Director at five national cemeteries in the United States. Following his retirement, he moved to San Diego, California where he has lived for 15 years.
Robert talks about the experience of living completely submerged in a submarine for two months, and the value of honor, integrity, respect, and professionalism. Robert also talks about losing his wife to a heart attack, the importance of enjoying your life, and why we ought to preserve the memory of our nation’s heroes and those who have sacrificed for our freedom.
Life’s Best Medicine according to Robert: “Dream as if you’ll live forever and live like you will die today. Whatever your heart tells you to do, do it! But whatever you do, just do the best job you can. Enjoy this beautiful world that we live in. Forge ahead and forget anything bad that might have happened in your past and look ahead to a glorious future—attack it, attack it, attack it!”
Thank you for listening. Have a blessed day and stay healthy!
