S.O.S. (Stories of Service) - Ordinary people who do extraordinary work
Turning Pain into Purpose - The Story of Resilience | S.O.S. #187
The wounds of war must never be forgotten—but for many, that pain becomes a driving force for something greater.
This Tuesday, I welcome back returning guest Michael Meyers, II, who joins us to discuss an ambitious new filmmaking project with Nicole Amelio. We also welcome Robert Vincent O’Berg whose own story of hope and healing is part of the series.
Their docuseries, Resilience, brings to life the raw and powerful stories of the Global War on Terror (GWOT) generation, told by those who lived it. This six-season endeavor—produced by Amelio Media in partnership with the Military Basketball Association, Humanity Pictures, and the Army Heritage Foundation—captures the triumphs born from trauma.
The series begins with the Army Black Knights’ historic 2007-2008 deployment to Iraq, where they made a bold, strategic decision: partnering with former Sunni insurgents as frontline allies in combat. This extraordinary story of brotherhood, sacrifice, and courage is just the beginning of a larger mission—to showcase the resilience of those who served and the lasting impact of their experiences.
Each season will explore different stories of service members who turned adversity into strength, continuing to serve their communities long after leaving the battlefield. The message is clear: resilience is forged in service, and its impact is immeasurable.
With Resilience, Amelio Media aims to reach 10 million Veterans and their families—and you can help.
Join us this Tuesday as we amplify their voices and share their stories.
