The Lost Art Project: Veterans’ Voices

The Lost Art Project: Veterans’ Voices

Preserving the stories, lessons, leadership and history of America’s veterans—one story at a time. Andrew Cox is a Marine Corps veteran, storyteller, Til Valhalla Project / Marine Corps League Ambassador, and the driving force behind The Lost Art Project: Veterans’ Voices Podcast. After years of service and leadership in uniform, Cox recognized a growing problem: veteran experiences, hard-earned lessons, and life wisdom were being lost to time. This podcast was created to ensure those stories are not only preserved, but shared with future generations. At its core, The Lost Art Project is about connection—between veterans, families, communities, and civilians who want to better understand the military experience beyond headlines and stereotypes. The show provides a respectful, honest platform where veterans can speak openly about service, transition, leadership, hardship, success, and everything in between. Two Segments. One Mission. The podcast is structured around two distinct segments, each serving a specific purpose while supporting the same mission of preserving veteran voices. 🔥 Segment One: FireSide Chat The FireSide Chat is a relaxed, conversation-style segment focused on current veteran topics and community impact. These episodes often explore: • Issues affecting veterans today • Leadership, resilience, and mindset • Life after military service • The importance of community and accountability A key component of the FireSide Chat is highlighting veteran-owned businesses and organizations. This segment provides exposure to entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and initiatives that are making a difference within the veteran community and beyond. 🎖 Segment Two: Veteran Stories Veteran Stories is a one-on-one interview format dedicated entirely to the individual. These episodes walk through the veteran’s life journey, including: • Background and upbringing • Decision to serve • Military experiences and defining moments • Challenges faced during and after service • Lessons learned and advice for others Each story is unique, personal, and preserved in the veteran’s own words. The goal is simple: capture the story before it’s lost.
