Scars of Valor - A SOLDIER'S FIGHT FOR LEGACY
SCARS OF VALOR: A SOLDIER'S FIGHT FOR LEGACY
Early Reader Edition
By Captain Bradley Ingram, USA (Ret.)
FROM BAGHDAD'S BLOODIEST STREETS TO A FARM WHERE BROKEN KIDS HEAL
August 4, 2008. An Iranian EFP killed SGT Gary Henry and SPC Jonathon Menke in Baghdad. I pulled their bodies from the wreckage. I came home with PTSD and traumatic brain injury. I nearly ended my life. But God had other plans.
This is the story of war, darkness, and redemption—and how two fallen soldiers' sacrifice became a living legacy at the Country Learning Center.
