Ron Self - Marine Force Recon, A Boy Soldier's Life - Ron Self started life with a father telling him he was the cause of all his family's problems. Then it changed irrevocably in a gunfight Ron participated in on a freeway in the US; not a combat zone. Ron was raised in military academies and ultimately served in the Marines.  Ron has founded the non-profit.  Check out Ron's Ted Talk Ron went to prison for attempted murder. He reached the brink and jumped...of the edge of the world...with a literal rope around his neck-it snapped and his rebound began there. Ron got better, got back, and is now fighting for increased veterans.  Ron is one of our featured people for the Prison Chronicles. As we get closer to releasing the series, we're adding in some of the featured members with bonus content.  HaikuRaised as a warriorHe was damned good at it tooBut the damage doneSimilar episodes:Shaka Senghor Richard Bronson Rudy Reyes Join us in supporting Save the Brave as we battle PTSD.  Executive Producer/Host/Intro: Pete A.
