The Lunchbox Interview: James Jordon (The War Amps)

Posted on 2016-02-09 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

LunchBox-WarAmps2016Have you got your tags on your keys?

For as long as I can remember, little keytags have appeared in the mail, and it was important to attach them to my keys, “just in case”. I’ve always feared losing my keys, and knowing that someone has my back was reassuring.

But.. I never really knew much about them. I knew, vaguely, that it was somehow connected to the War Amps. I suspect that I’m not alone in that ignorance. My guest today helped to explain it. James Jordan works with The War Amps and is, himself, a recipient of the program since just a baby. He tells me of the history of The War Amps, the brilliant creation of the key tag program, the impact and need for the support provided by The War Amps, and some of the stories of people whose keys have been found through the program.

So remember: when the keytags show up in the mail: put them on your keys right away! (It makes a good companion to our own Friends of CHSR Discount Card, too!)

Music today:

  • I couldn’t resist the synchronicity of the song title (O Snow) and the beauty of the sound from Trent Severn (from the album Trillium).
  • And following a rant about climate change (and its under-representation in political debate), I kinda do a mic drop with The Motorleague‘s A Little Too Obvious, from their latest album Holding Patterns.
