Summary

In Episode 2: Hauling Fuel in Enemy Territory, Tony and Brian are joined by Sam, who served as a civilian driver for our military in Iraq. He volunteered to put himself in harm’s way to make sure our troops had what they needed, and his willingness to serve our military left him with stories he'll be telling for years. From driving over landmines, to driving under overpasses rigged to explode, to being shot at by snipers, Sam joins Hammer Lane Legends to share his dramatic stories of hauling fuel in enemy territory!
