As Memorial Week continues, The MisFitNation Show welcomes a guest whose journey embodies strength, advocacy, and enduring service—U.S. Army First Sergeant (Ret.) Aaron Hudgins. With a distinguished 26-year career as a Sniper, Infantry Leader, Human Resources NCO, and Company First Sergeant, Aaron deployed to Bosnia and Iraq, supported natural disaster relief efforts, and shaped future leaders. But his mission didn’t end in uniform. Following the devastating loss of his wife, SSG Jari J. Hudgins, a fellow soldier and proud Caddo Native American, Aaron transformed grief into action. Now a Survivor Advocate at the Pentagon’s SAWG, recipient of the Superior Public Service Medal, and a Travis Manion Foundation mentor, he continues to lead with purpose and heart. Through education, public speaking, and legacy-driven community projects, Aaron honors fallen heroes and empowers the next generation to live with character. 📌 Join us for a deeply personal and powerful Memorial Week conversation about sacrifice, service, love, and leadership. 🔔 Subscribe for more stories of resilience and remembrance. 📸 “A moment of reflection in my home office, surrounded by memories of service, sacrifice, and honor.” — Aaron Hudgins 🎯 Subscribe | Like | Share | 📌 Watch the FULL episode right here: htttps://www.YouTube.com/@The_MisFitNation 🌐 Connect with us at www.themisfitnation.com #MemorialWeek #AaronHudgins #GoldStarFamilies #SurvivorAdvocate #ArmyVeteran #CombatToCommunity #TravisManionFoundation #Resilience #Leadership #PostTraumaticGrowth #VeteransHelpingVeterans #TheMisFitNationShow #CharacterDoesMatter #LegacyProjects Learn more about your ad choices.
