  • This week’s Urban Valor episode features Army combat veteran, Raymond “Ramrod” Ramirez.
    Raymond grew up in a gang neighborhood in Riverside, CA. He was kicked out of two high schools and ended up enlisting in the Army to serve in the Infantry.
    During a combat tour in Iraq, Raymond was shot by a sniper. He eventually recovered from his wound and got back in the fight. However, while recovering at home, Raymond discovered some horrific news about his fellow soldiers being killed in action before he had made it back.
    Raymond's courage and will speak volumes in this episode, and truly show how tough U.S. Army Soldiers are.

    i love how the 1st SGT slipped him a phone on the DL and told him in Spanish to call home because the .mil would f it all up. Something about that made me tear up.

      That was indeed a heartwarming gesture from the 1st SGT. It shows the compassion within the military.

    Both my parents are vets. My dad actually almost got deployed when 9/11 happened and that was a pretty scary time. They never talk about what they went through and hearing someone tell their story I know they’ve been through shit and this makes me value and appreciate not only my parents but everyone that’s served for literally risking their lives almost every day to keep us safe and the things they go through with the VA not giving a s**t about them is heart breaking. To everyone serving or who has served or is going to, thank you. Thank you all for your service. 🖤🖤🖤

    One of the best things a veteran struggling with PTSD can do, if able to, is getting a job/career even if rated 100%. Having purpose and keeping your mind busy works wonders.

      It takes up to 3 days but I see your point, some people cope with their stress and anxiety with drugs before a combat tour. If you’ve never deployed you wouldn’t understand.
