Army Ranger Earns Silver Star In Brutal Gun Battle, Fights Injured: VIDEO

Published|Updated

Former Army Ranger Mike Edwards earned the Silver Star on a crazy mission in Iraq.

The former Army Ranger and SMU operator with the Regimental Reconnaissance Company recently joined me on American Joyride to talk about his career in the military.

Mike has a lot of truly incredible stories, and one of the most fascinating is the mission he earned the Silver Star on. Mike and his teammates found themselves in the type of close range gun battle that is tough to even describe with words. When the bullets and grenades started flying, Mike and his team took care of business.

You can listen to Mike break it down starting around 15:00 (follow me on Instagram for more pro-America clips and content), and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
