This is a great conversation with SFC Jeff and Trish Dawson. Jeff shares his story of joining the military, choosing EOD, multiple deployments and in 2019, the deployment that changed his life. Trish talks about her experiences growing up as a military child, how she and Jeff met, and when she received the call that Jeff was seriously injured. The world paused for a while, only to find the bond they share is stronger. They encourage one another and believe that positivity is key in working through the unexpected challenges life brings. Jeff continues on his road of recovery and Trish is right by his side.
