This is a story that hasn't been told before, one of the most hopeful to emerge from Iraq and Afghanistan--a saga of lives saved, not wasted. Greitens, a Navy SEAL and Rhodes Scholar, spends years working in refugee camps before he joins the military. He enlists because he believes the innocent of the world need heavily armed, moral protection. Wounded in Iraq, Greitens returns home and finds thathis fellow veterans at Bethesda Naval Hospital all want the same thing: they want to continue to serve their country in some way, no matter the extent of their injuries. He founds The Mission Continues to provide paid public service fellowships for wounded veterans. One of the first Mission Continues fellows is charismatic former Marine sergeant Jake Wood, a natural leader who began Team Rubicon, organizing 9/11 veterans for dangerous disaster relief projects around the world. 'We do chaos,' he says. 600 10 $a Greitens, Eric, $d 1974- 600 10 $a Wood, Jake, $d 1983- 610 20 $a Mission Continues (Organization) 650 0 $a Disabled veterans $x Services for $z United States. 650 0 $a Volunteers $x Training of $z United States. 650 0 $a Veterans $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Philanthropists $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Iraq War, 2003-2011 $x Veterans $z United States. 650 0 $a Afghan War, 2001- $x Veterans $z United States. 650 0 $a Large type books. 830 0 $a Thorndike Press large print popular and narrative nonfiction. 941 $a 7 945 $a lpt 952 $l GYPE631 $d 20240626014924.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417014446.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629013921.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230203015405.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006093621.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20160716010226.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20160709010247.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=86C2DAA0459A11E68FE39EAADAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
