I. Interview
Today’s guest is a former US Marine captain with over ten years of active service, as both an enlisted and commissioned officer. In August 2005, as part of a four-man team from the United States Marine Corps' 1st Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company he found himself smack in the middle of the deadliest city on earth, Ramadi, Iraq. For the next seven months, his team fought street by street against an insurgency that only grew more deadly. He tells this story in his new book “Running Towards Gunfire: Courage and Brotherhood In Ramadi;;it is my pleasure to welcome Jason Angell to the show.
II. Run and Gun
III. Outro
I want to thank Jason for coming on the show and I also want to thank him for his service. As someone who has never served, his book was an eye opening look into the realities that our war fighter’s face. The picture he paints has renewed my appreciation for the sacrifice that our veterans have made for our freedom.
