Uniform

Uniform: Stories of Service is a Trackpads.com podcast devoted to the lived experience of military life. Each episode features a veteran sharing what service looked and felt like from their side of the formation – the training, the day-to-day routines, the small moments with their unit, the deployments, and the quiet stretches in between. These are not scripted histories or celebrity profiles; they are real stories, told in plain language, that capture what it means to wear the uniform in any branch, job, or era.

Living History

Living History is the Thursday feature of Dispatch: U.S. Military History Magazine, devoted to slow, context-rich explorations of America’s wars. Each episode digs into the stories, artifacts, archives, and interpretations that shape how U.S. military history is understood today—looking beyond headlines and battle dates to the evidence, nuance, and memory behind them. It’s built for listeners who want to understand not just what happened, but how those events are preserved, presented, and argued over across time.

The Group for Historians and Veterans

U.S. Military History is a LinkedIn community for anyone who slows down for a rack of campaign ribbons, a battlefield map, or a story about what it was really like to serve. Produced by Trackpads.com, the group connects directly with Dispatch: U.S. Military History Magazine, bringing its daily features to life through conversation—Medal of Honor stories, “This Week in U.S. Military History,” deep-dive battle and campaign studies, living history interviews, and weapons and technology spotlights.

Inside the group you’ll find veterans, historians, collectors, modelers, re-enactors, researchers, and lifelong readers who enjoy serious history in a friendly, no-drama environment. Share your photos and artifacts, add context to the daily Dispatch posts, ask questions, or just follow along and learn something new every day. If you want a place where U.S. military history is active, informed, and welcoming, join U.S. Military History and be part of the ongoing conversation.
