The Fallen But Not Forgotten Podcast
Bluecoat Foundation's founder, Chris Jay, sits down with family, friends & co-workers of those in law enforcement who have gone through the tragedy of losing loved ones by way of line-of-duty deaths. By discussing the lives of these selfless individuals, Bluecoat Foundation looks to honor their legacies. Through memories, laughter, tears and even at times anger, Bluecoat Foundation seeks to improve the health and safety of those in law enforcement by shedding light onto a topic that can be difficult to discuss.
The Fallen But Not Forgotten Podcast
Growth & Healing: A Survivor's Perspective on Helping Others, 10-years later.
On this episode, we sit down yet again with Richard Medina, this time in his cozy garage. We chatt & riff over a cigar, a whisky & anything that comes across our minds.
In honor of his partner, Officer Roberto Sanchez, we included the YouTube video made in remembrance.
