On this Memorial Day episode of the Olympus Wealth Strategies Podcast, we’re honored to welcome Major Michael Diaz, U.S. Army (Retired)—a decorated officer with over two decades of service to our country.

In this conversation, Major Diaz reflects on his military journey, leadership under pressure, and the true meaning of Memorial Day. We discuss the sacrifices made by service members and their families, the enduring bonds of military brotherhood, and how civilians can better honor those who gave all.

Whether you have military ties or simply want to better understand the significance of this solemn day, this episode offers perspective, gratitude, and a powerful reminder of the cost of freedom.
