As a Marine, Jonathan Hancock experienced some of the worst fighting of the Iraq War in 2004 in Ar Ramadi. \xa0That year started off fairly peaceful, and it looked as if an extended American presence in Iraq would not be needed. \xa0Then, all hell broke loose, and Ramadi offered some of the fiercest\xa0fighting the Marines would see. \xa0Jon survived combat, but when he came home, like most of his fellow 2/4 Marines - nicknamed "The Magnificent Bastards" - he continued to fight a battle that raged within. \xa0Before it took him out for good, Jon decided to take a trip to try and heal. \xa0That trip was a walk across the United States, from coast to coast, in honor and remembrance of those Magnificent Bastards that never made it home. \xa0This is another great story you don't want to miss! \xa0www.bastardsroad.com @bastardsroad @bastardsroadmovie\xa0\nLearn more about your ad choices.
