Wounded Sniper Plays Dead as Enemies Approach [Vietnam War Veteran] 🇺🇸

This week’s Urban Valor episode features Marine Scout Sniper & Vietnam combat veteran, RJ Jackson. RJ enlisted into the Marine Corps in 1966 after hearing one of his good friends was shot and killed in Vietnam. He was selected to become a scout sniper after demonstrating expert proficiency with his rifle. During his tour in Vietnam, RJ was ambushed and wounded multiple times. During one ambush he was hit with a grenade and took shrapnel all over his body. As he lay on the ground to play dead, several enemy fighters walked past him thinking he wasn’t alive. RJ said some of the enemy fighters who walked by him were Chinese, which one of his Lieutenants confirmed later. Sitting down with and hearing RJ story was an honor, and we're proud to have documented it and solidified it's place in history. At Urban Valor, our mission is to give Veterans a voice by presenting them with a platform to share THEIR story in THEIR words, allowing them to share the story they wish to share. Urban Valor is an organization that documents the stories of veterans in their own words and recollection
