As he leaves the Marines, a Navy Cross recipient finds purpose through tragedy

Nick Jones says he was born to be a fighter. He is cool under chaos and thinks quickly on his feet, both of which served him well in the Marine Corps. And like others who choose to join the armed forces, Nick wanted to be a part of something bigger than himself. 

But individual experiences in the military vary. And Nick's career, half of which he spent as a Marine Raider in MARSOC, the Marine Corps' special operations group, is mired in despair.

      Matt you should read the story before making a comment like that. Yes, I saw NPR after I opened it, shocking they would post the story yes but the story speaks for itself and thousands of other veterans I pray for on a regular basis.

    God bless Nick, Hanah and their crew of dawgs, which will indeed help in Nick's recovery.

    Thanks to you and Alemaster for a great Veteran's Day story.
