Typically, I'd begin by listing two or three of the biggest news headlines from the previous

day. But with yesterday being Veterans Day and yours truly about to travel for a defense summit,

we wanted to share our interview with Marine Corps Sergeant Zach Stinson and his journey from

an IED casualty in Afghanistan to U.S. Olympic athlete and one of the leaders in the critically

important veterans organization Semperfi and America's Fund.

It is Wednesday, November 12, 2025.

This is the Daily Signals, Top News in 10.

It's a privilege this Veterans Day to be joined by the one and always Marine, Zach Stinson.

Good to have you, by the way.

Thank you for having me.

I appreciate it.

If we can actually get the interview actually to run and work, you know, fingers crossed through the whole thing here.

You've got an incredible story.

Obviously, a lot of incredible stories have come out of the sandbox,

but coming home and dealing with life after a major rehabilitation process after the IED,

and then serving other service members is a really, really incredible

story. Tell us a little bit about it if you could. You know, it's just been a wild ride.

And I tell everybody the easiest way through, I mean, out is just to continue through. So we've just been pushing through

constantly, kind of whenever things don't even make sense, honestly. But I think I gained a lot of that

from the Marine Corps, adapt and overcome, and just figuring how to keep pushing and getting better.

I've been very fortunate to have a good support system.

And, yeah, since injury, they've been with me.
