Honoring the Heroes Who Never Returned​

Maritime Nation

Admiral James G. Foggo, U.S. Navy (Ret.)  |  Rich Sherman

More than 200,000 Americans who served in the World Wars rest in 23 cemeteries overseas, far from the families who mourned them. Former Navy Intelligence Officer and Gulf War veteran Rich Sherman spent six years and eight trips across three continents photographing every one of them. The result is Never Home, named the best History Book of 2025 by Reader Views. For Veterans Day, ADM Foggo sits down with Rich to talk about the stories behind the headstones, the people who care for these sacred places, and why remembering those who never came home still matters.

Season 5 of Maritime Nation is produced in partnership with Johnson Group Defense.
