Thinking he would go to college &amp; follow a much different path, Alex Juedes ended up “dropping out” to follow in his father’s footsteps &amp; become a Marine. He loved being a Marine in fact. But, on January 25, 2014, Alex Juedes was manning an MRAP gun turret in Afghanistan when an RPG slammed into the feed tray of his machine gun. Immediately, his right hand was gone and he was bleeding from shrapnel piercing his femoral artery. Alex made it out of Afghanistan alive though, but would never return to the Marine Corps as a rifleman. If he had to do it all over again, he says he would head right back to Afghanistan to fight as an infantry Marine. He speaks humbly of his injuries &amp; what he endured half a world away &amp; back at home. But deep within is a warrior spirit that truly shines through in this episode. He is now helping others exponentially &amp; giving back to those who followed a similar path, returning from combat never to be the same as when they left, through his non-profit, Purple Heart Cruise. This is a special episode, with an incredible warrior, that you don’t want to miss!www.purpleheartcruise.orgSupport the podcast by supporting our sponsors at www.hazardground.com/sponsors! Help grow the show!
