Bragg, North Carolina. He served in Iraq and Afghanistan, and during his career at 3rd SFG, he served on ODA 396/3336 as a Special Forces Communications Sergeant and the Sniper Detachment as a Sniper Instructor. It was during the harrowing battle of Shok Valley on April 6, 2008, that John would lose his leg to a sniper, and yet returned fire for four more hours with his severed lower limb tied to his thigh. Post-injury, John attended Special Forces Sniper School and upon graduation became the first amputee ever to become a Green Beret Sniper. Today John is a successful entrepreneur with ownership interest in Live to Give, a beverage company that donates half of its net profits to first responders, military members and their families. John and his wife, Amy, live in Frisco, Texas with their four children. Johns passion in life is his family.\\n\\n\\xa0\\nLive to Give Website\\xa0- https://www.livetogive.com/\\nFollow Along on Facebook - https://facebook.com/DrinkLivetoGive\\n\\nFollow Along on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/DrinkLivetoGive\\n\\nPurchase Live to Give - https://www.amazon.com/Live-Give-Purified-Electrolytes-Responder/dp/B07WK6PTVL\\nJoin the conversation on our Facebook!\\nCheck out\\xa0Veteran on the Move on Facebook\\xa0to connect with our guests and other listeners.\\xa0A place where you can network with other like-minded veterans who are transitioning to entrepreneurship and get updates on people, programs and resources to help you in YOUR\\xa0transition to entrepreneurship.\\n\\nAbout Our Sponsors\\nNavy Federal Credit Union\\nIf you\\u2019re looking for ways to save more each month, look no further.
