Summary
Ross Patterson and Dan Hollaway sit down with special guest Special Forces Operator Ryan Hendrickson to share his story of rescuing an Afghan soldier outside a mud-hut compound in 2010, knowing that he was in "uncleared" territory, and stepping on an IED with his right foot. The device exploded, leaving his foot dangling at the end of his leg. Ryan is one very few soldiers who has returned to combat after losing part of his leg. You can purchase his book detailing his life "Tip Of The Spear" everywhere books are available.
