Manage episode 361337633 series 3404573
Today I sit down with Marine SSGT Bill Bee. Bill served in multiple combat theaters, and was injured and was the subject of one of the most iconic photographs of the War in Afghanistan. His memoir is titled "The Shot: The Harrowing Journey of a Marine in The War on Terror."
We talk about his story behind the iconic photo of his brush with a Taliban Sniper in Garmsir in 2008, the IED blast where he escaped death in 2012, his struggles with PTSD and the side effects of three traumatic brain injuries and his fight to get medical retirement from the VA!
