Wounded But Not Broken - Show 16- The story of Joel Tavera

Many veterans go to college after leaving the military, but most do not have to face the challenges that Joel Tavera did. In 2008, he was one of the most wounded soldiers to survive the Iraq War.

Despite losing a foot, a hand, his eyesight, parts of his skull and suffering burns on 60 percent of his body, Tavera recovered and pursued his education. He proudly received his college degree in December 2018.
