SZN 3 EP 20 - U.S. Marine Deserves a Purple Heart, Let's Get Him One

The last episode of SZN 3 is with two U.S. Marines, Dana and and Dan, mixing it up a little bit with the content. 

In this episode, Dana and Dan discuss a mission while serving in Iraq on July 6, 2006. During the mission, their convoy was struck by multiple Improvised Explosive Devices (IED's). The most senior U.S. Marine, SSgt. Victor Quinones, was wounded by both IED's and suffered a broken back and miscellaneous shrapnel. After being injured, SSgt. Quinones performed heroic acts while in an active combat zone to ensure the safety of other U.S. Military personnel. 

SSgt. Quinones sustained wounds received in combat action against a hostile enemy during combat operations on July 6, 2006 while in Iraq. Listen to this podcast to learn more about the tragic day, what type of person/Marine SSgt. Quinones is, and the efforts to get him to become a Purple Heart Recipient.
