Join us on the Vanguard Wall Podcast for an EXCLUSIVE interview with Major Jessica Yahn, a trailblazing U.S. Army officer who redefined elite military operations and now inspires the world through her nonprofit, Altru, and the powerful documentary Guerrera. From leading surgical strike missions with Special Operations Forces to providing internet to girls’ schools under Taliban control, Jessica’s story is one of courage, resilience, and impact. 🌟
In this episode, we dive into:
Her journey from ROTC at UC Santa Barbara to commanding critical signal operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Behind-the-scenes of Guerrera, a documentary honoring women in combat and the sacrifices of CST operators like Jenny Moreno. The mission of Altru to empower the next generation of leaders, especially young women. Hilarious and heartfelt stories, like her Airborne School glasses mishap! 😅
