  • War Story 027: Colonel Trey Morriss, USAF (Desert Storm, Global War On Terror)
    Feb 26 2026

    Send a text

    Trey Morriss is a retired U.S. Air Force colonel with thirty-one years of service, serving and supporting the legendary Eighth Air Force. His love of aviation runs deep―shaped by stories of his grandfather and uncle, who flew combat missions over Europe in World War II. Early in his career, Morriss took part in a top-secret, record-setting strike that opened Operation Desert Storm―the longest combat mission of its time and a turning point in modern warfare. He later flew 32 combat missions over Iraq and Afghanistan following 9/11. He’s a decorated veteran and sought-after keynote speaker. He lives in Louisiana with his wife, and they cherish time with their five adult children and three grandchildren.

This podcast feels like a passport into the modern military world. The hosts draw from a far wider roster than the usual “same-unit, same-theatre” line-up you hear elsewhere. That broader reach brings fresh perspectives, surprising stories, and a deeper understanding of Western military life in all its variety. I pressed play on one episode and suddenly I’d binge-marched through half the catalogue. Highly recommended for anyone curious about the people behind the uniform. 🎙️💂‍♂️
