The discussion dives into his time as an infantry Squad Leader, his combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, and the realities of leading Marines in some of the most intense environments of the war.Ryan also talks about writing his book Lions of Marjah, which began while he was deployed in Afghanistan, and the lessons he’s carried forward into advocacy, speaking, and helping others navigate their own challenges after military service.This is an honest conversation about duty, brotherhood, resilience, and finding purpose after war.Watch the full interview on the Herostock Nation Podcast Network at www.herostock.org.Like and subscribe to our podcast, streaming on Amazon, Spotify, Apple, and airing on Wreaths Across America Radio, as well as the iHeart, Audacy, and TuneIn apps.#Herostock #WhereHeroesTalk #VeteranStories #USMC #RyanRogers #LionsOfMarjah #VeteransVoices
