Captain Roger Hill, a decorated combat veteran and former Army Ranger. Roger served as the commander of Dog Company, 1st Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, in the hotly contested province of Wardak, Afghanistan. After months of intense fighting and a thirty percent casualty rate, Roger was relieved as the commander of Dog Company for interrogating spies his command discovered yet refused to take into custody. The spies, which included Captain Hill’s Army assigned translator, were released by the command while Roger was charged with war crimes.

Roger has since led a successful career as a senior operations manager and systems engineer for technology firms in Atlanta, Georgia. Roger continues to serve as a champion for our military veterans and first responders. Roger has spoken about his experiences in dozens of public forums including national TV and radio.
