145: Returning From War & Finding Another Battle Back Home, With Marine Scout Sniper, Jordan Laird.
Manage episode 376089337 series 2967696
Jordan Laird is a former Marine Scout Sniper who served multiple tours overseas, with his final deployment into Afghanistan being the most bloody and traumatic. Upon returning home Jordan found new battles awaiting him, some that came close to taking his life. While Jordan suffered TBI during his time in the service and certainly carries scars from his fights both at war and at home, he is now actively engaged in bringing hope to other men who are struggling as he once did.
