  • This week on the @about_violence Podcast, we are joined by our good friend @crispy11b.
    @crispy11b Sgt. Avila joined the U.S. Army in 2004 as an Infantryman, deploying to Iraq in 2007. On May 14, 2007, his vehicle was struck with a 200 lb IED, resulting in burns to 75% of his body and amputation below the knee of his right leg. Upon retiring from the U.S. Army in 2010, Sgt. Avila never allowed his injuries to slow his success. Powering through his injuries, he became the current world record holder for the World Association of Bench and Deadlift in the Paralympics category. He also started his own consulting firm, 5 Toes, and dedicated his life to serving his fellow veterans. Sgt. Avila now serves as a liaison for Sons Of The Flag, helping other wounded warriors through their recovery process as well. He continues to motivate wounded veterans and seeks to educate the public about veteran issues through numerous public speaking events and is a sought-after motivational speaker.

    Omar and I were in 1-26 together. I was in A. CO and he was C. CO. Everything he said is legit. That was a crazy deployment. Glad him and Jay again are doing what they do. They’re awesome. Tim too.

    Crispy, I love that your mindset is that you were given a blank check for becoming an American! Lots of people in this country don’t understand that concept. Thanks Tim for hosting such an amazing person!!

    I absolutely loved hearing Crispy's stories. Pure perseverance!
    This type of guy is the reason why I have 8 American flags hanging on my house. Makes me so proud to be an American. Would love for you to have him on a future podcast panel on any subject.
    Thanks for putting this out there!
