This week’s Urban Valor episode features Army Ranger veteran, Angel Cortes (aka OG Pumpkin). Angel grew up poor and malnourished and wound up getting jumped into a gang. 

As a gangster, he found himself selling guns and drugs and running the streets. Eventually, Angel decided to make a life change and enlisted in the Army. He served multiple combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan and became one of the best of the best, an Army Ranger. 

Since transitioning out of the military, Angel has become a huge advocate on giving back as a community leader and entrepreneur.
