The Best Day of My Life
Today we are pleased to welcome Lance Corporal Brian Vargas, U.S. Marine Corps Retired, to the show. Brian’s inspirational story begins with him explaining his early post-war transition home which found him living in his car with his service dog. With the help and support of his wife, he hesitantly decided to see what Mike and the Sentinels of Freedom could offer.
He was nervous at first but was put at ease by his interaction with Mike and others at the organization. It wasn’t long after that he and his wife were able to buy a home, and then earned his Master’s degree at UC Berkeley. The injury that ended his military career was during a combat operation in Hit Iraq, in the midst of a firefight, was shot by an enemy sniper through his left hand and right side of his face, rendering him unconscious. This would be seen as a
horrific event by anyone’s standards, but Brian says that it was the best day of his life, and you’ll have to listen to hear why.
Now Brian spends his days working with and inspiring veterans and student veterans at San Francisco City College. He sees a little bit of himself in each of those that he interacts with and strives to improve their lives. Despite taking off his military uniform, Brian stands for our podcast title, Veterans Never Stop Serving.
