What kind of bravery does it take to secure ammunition under heavy enemy fire or attempt to save a fellow soldier's life? Our guest, a veteran who served in both the Marine Corps and the Army, offers a gripping recount of his tumultuous journey from a rough childhood in California to the heart-pounding battles at Combat Outpost Keating in Afghanistan. He opens up about the haunting realities of war, his heroic acts in the heat of combat, and the emotional scars left behind. His story is a profound testament to the unbreakable bonds formed between soldiers amidst chaos and conflict.

Additionally, we navigate the complexities of border security through personal stories, including an unsettling encounter on a remote ranch.
