190: Combat Wounds to Wounded Wear and Combat Coalition Navy Seal Jason Redman Navy SEAL veteran Jason Redman overcame tragedy and successfully transitioned into entrepreneurship. Now, through his endeavors, he is able to inspire warriors and fellow veterans to not feel sorry for their combat injuries. Tune in! "There is only one path: forward. There is only one motto: I overcome. Lead yourself to success." - Jason Redman Entrance to the Navy Jason joined the Navy in high school. At the beginning of his career, he did counter drug operations in Central and South America. He eventually became the instructor in his SEAL team and went into a commissioning program. By 2001, he attended school. The 9/11 attack did not deter him from his studies. He returned to the Navy after graduation. Little did he know that he would be leading men with combat experience. The Impact of a Combat Injury Jason went into a combat operation in Iraq. While there, a big gun fight almost took off his arm. Still, he wanted to finish his career in the military. For 21 years until he retired, he did special projects in the operations unit. He was under light duty status. And from time to time, he would undergo surgery to recover from his injury. Spreading Awareness and Inspiration While he was still recovering, Jason was surprised the lack of awareness across the U.S. He also saw the need for modified clothing among wounded warriors. Jason himself found it difficult to wear regular apparel. That inspired him to start Wounded Warriors. He said, "We started producing clothing to raise awareness of the sacrifice of our wounded warriors." The company grew, and now he is working with a university on a leadership program called The Overcome Academy. They help wounded warriors learn how to lead themselves and to purposefully share their story to others.
