Description
This week’s Urban Valor episode features MARSOC veteran and retired Master Sergeant, Danny Santos. Danny grew up in the rampart district of South-Central Los Angeles. He enlisted in the Marine Corps to escape the gang-infested streets of LA. His parents migrated to the U.S. from El Salvador in the 1970s and at the age of 10, Danny had to endure his father taking his own life. As a young Lance Corporal in the Marines, Danny was awarded the Silver Star. After being shot and blown up by a grenade he completely disregarded his own safety, exposed himself to enemy fire, and drug one of his wounded teammates to safety. Danny would go on to serve 15 years in the MARSOC community as a Critical Skills Operator with 9 deployments under his belt. He leaves us with what he’s done to adapt and overcome the challenges of transitioning out of the military. Danny Santos is incredibly courageous and a true warrior. We're so thankful he sat down with Josh Gutierrez of Urban Valor to share his incredible story as a combat veteran who served 9 deployments and was wounded in battle.
