Summary

SRS is honored to bring Tony Cowden's story to the show. Tony is a former Green Beret and CIA contractor with an impeccable career having served in multiple combat deployments. In part one of this two-part series, we cover Tony's upbringing and how his father helped fuel his capacity for resourcefulness and an unmatched work ethic. Tony recounts his experience in the "Red Cell" Program where he was tracking and surveilling assets on American soil and how he barely made it out of a sticky situation alive on the day of the September 11th, 2001 attacks. Don't miss the harrowing story of how Tony single-handedly held off wave after wave of attackers when he was cut off, alone and outnumbered in the streets of Iraq. 26 bodies of enemy combatants were recovered from this firefight.

0:00.0	Ladies and gentlemen welcome back to the Sean Ryan show. This week we have a former green
0:04.0	beret and CIA operator who worked over at Ground Branch. We cover his time and service extensively
0:11.6	to include a specific gunfight where he single-handedly killed 26 enemy combatants.
0:23.3	Once again he killed 26 enemy combatants is a solo gunfighter. That event actually revolutionized
0:32.6	all of training over at CIA. You see previous to that event we never did one man close quarters
0:39.9	combat. After that everybody started training one man close quarters combat which was previously
