For Veterans, Losing a Dog Is Never “Just Losing a Pet”

This week on The Richard Leonard Show, I’m opening up about something deeply personal the heartbreaking reality of finding out my dog Gus has cancer and preparing for the day I’ll have to say goodbye. But this episode is bigger than just my story. We’re digging into the powerful bond between veterans and their dogs, why these animals become far more than “just pets,” and the emotional toll that comes when the one thing keeping you grounded starts slipping away. For many veterans, these dogs aren’t companions—they’re lifelines. And nobody really talks about what happens when that lifeline is suddenly taken from you.

Understanding the VA’s Proposed Changes to Disability Ratings

This week on The Richard Leonard Show, Richard tackles the controversy surrounding the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs’ proposed disability evaluation rule that would factor in medication and treatment when assigning ratings. After intense backlash, Doug Collins paused the rollout, igniting a larger debate over reform, fraud prevention, and whether the policy would ultimately help—or harm—America’s veterans.

Valor vs The VA: When the Real Fight Starts at Home

In this episode of The Richard Leonard Show, Richard takes aim at a new battlefield, the one waiting for our veterans right here at home. While the media paints them as freeloaders and frauds, Washington whispers about cutting the very benefits our warriors earned in blood. Richard breaks down the truth behind the VA “scam” narrative, the political games, and the bureaucratic rot threatening to betray America’s heroes. Brought to you by Cortez Wealth Management!
