Episode #47 - The American Widow Project, SPC David Hutchinson

You Served Radio has another great show lined up. We have two guests scheduled to come on, the first being Taryn Davis, Founder/President, The American Widow Project. The American Widow Project is a non-profit organization dedicated to the new generation of those who have lost the heroes of yesterday, today and tomorrow, with an emphasis on healing through sharing stories, tears and laughter Military Widow to Military Widow. They can be found on the web at http://www.americanwidowproject.org. Our second guest is SPC David Hutchinson, Silver Star recipient. The then 21-year-old Private First Class deployed to eastern Afghanistan in 2008. He was on his first patrol manning a Mark-19 grenade launcher in a Humvee’s armored turret of a gun truck, when his convoy was ambushed. Because of this Soldier’s actions, not one American life was lost; 17 men went in, 17 came out. You are invited to join now-Spec. Hutchinson as he discusses the act of the commitment, selfless service, and personal courage that earned the Silver Star medal for gallantry in action against an enemy of the United States.
