About the Show:
"Once I learned that they'd give me trophies and awards and scholarships for saying words, I thought, that's in my wheelhouse."
In this powerful episode of I am Northwest Arkansas™, we revisit the story of Aaron Mankin, a U.S. Marine who survived a devastating IED explosion in Iraq. Aaron shares his journey of recovery—from the battlefield to burn treatment to becoming an advocate for fellow veterans.
His story is one of deep sacrifice, resilience, and the healing power of community and purpose.
As we honor Memorial Day, this conversation reminds us of the personal cost of war and the strength it takes to carry on.
All this and more on this episode of the I Am Northwest Arkansas® podcast.
