COOKIN' UP A STORY: We Don't Promise You a Rose Garden - Jason Rodden

Aaron

At the age of 9, Jason Rodden knew he was a Marine, but it wasn't until he graduated high school and joined the ranks of recruits that it became a reality. Between those years, the 9/11 terrorist attacks were launched on America, which meant Jason hit the ground running once he was sent into duty. It was what he'd been dreaming of. 

He became a point man and a PFC, always putting himself first in the line of fire. This resulted in deployments to Iraq and then Afghanistan. Once in Afghanistan, he found himself being hunted by a sniper for three long days, one spent in his silkies. Find out how he survived, thrived, and what happened to the man who was hunting him in this episode.
