Justin Constantine
Founder and Board Member
Retired U.S. Marine lieutenant colonel Justin Constantine was declared KIA in 2006. A sniper shot him in the head. The bullet knocked out his left eye, jaw, teeth and most of his tongue. The sight of it prompted another member of the patrol to mistake him for dead. But despite appearances, Justin had not been killed in action that afternoon in Iraq. His war, one the Marine waged through dozens of surgeries and thousands of hours in physical therapy, had just begun. Today, Justin uses his story to inspire others by sharing it at speaking events.

Clint Romesha
Board Member
Medal of Honor Recipient Clint Romesha penned the The New York Times best seller, “Red Platoon: A True Story of American Valor.” The book chronicles the battle Romesha waged against insurgents, who attempted to cease a difficult to defend U.S. outpost, Combat Outpost Keating.
Outnumbered and outgunned, U.S. forces found themselves pinned down by enemy fire from the shrouding mountainsides Oct. 3, 2009. As enemies breached the outpost and began to overrun the compound, Romesha gathered and led a small force that repealed the siege. In addition to his book, Romesha’s heroism has been the subject of feature and documentary films.
