ONCE A WARRIOR Author/Veteran Jake Wood Embodies Service, Selflessness, and Sacrifice

When Marine sniper Jake Wood came home in 2009 from grueling tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, his country asked him to compartmentalize his traumatic memories, put his elite military training on a shelf, and adjust to living outside high-stakes situations.
