Upon his retirement in Southern California he became active in veterans affairs and was the keynote speaker for several large Memorial Day and Veterans Day Celebrations and also hosted a local daily radio talk show that covered a variety of topics from the War in Iraq and Afghanistan to local, state and national politics.
