Mike McElhiney. Army Special Forces. 21yr Vet. Ep. 19

Mike McElhiney is a retired Army vet who served in our Military for 21 years.  He climbed the ranks from Army infantryman to Senior Weapons Sergeant in the Army Special Forces.  His time in the service was at a critical time in American history.  Just after the 911 attacks he was quickly reassigned to carry out operations in Afghanistan.  One of those missions was the inspiration behind the movie 12 Strong.  Shortly after that mission, Mike and his men experienced a tragic friendly fire attack in which many men were killed and Mike suffered serious injuries.  He continued to serve our country even after the attack that left him disabled.  Mike is currently the Chief of Staff for the Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs.  I want to thank Mike for his sacrifice and service and for being on Unrestricted.
