#285 - Navy SEAL Ephraim Mattos and a Non-Profit Built for War Zones
Manage episode 378388571 series 2640108
Retired SEAL and author Ephraim Mattos was shot in the calf while volunteering as a medic with the Iraqi Army as he was transitioning out of the Navy. It was all caught on camera and went viral.
He recovered from his wound, and ever since, he's been working constantly to continue a life of service and to help people who need it most in some of the most violent places on the planet. That's why he started Stronghold Rescue & Relief, a non-profit built to give aid to people in literal war zones.
Mattos sits down with Black Rifle Coffee Co.'s Evan Hafer to talk about his new mission in life, what it's like to know he'll be heading into heavy combat in Burma in the next couple of months (and whether or not he's armed on these missions), that unique struggles people are facing in that country, the trials and tribulations faced by GWOT veterans of all stripes, and lots more on this week's Black Rifle Coffee Podcast.
