About this episode
Join us in this gripping episode of Urban Valor as we listen about the life of Paul Peng, an Army veteran with a remarkable story! Born in Taiwan and raised in Monterey Park, CA, Paul enlisted as an Army reservist military police officer in 2000, never anticipating active combat. However, the events of 9/11 altered his path, leading to two combat deployments in Iraq. Paul recounts his intense experiences, from managing a prison camp amid riots and harrowing incidents among inmates to taking command of a facility once used as one of Saddam Hussein’s torture chambers. He shares the profound challenges of readjusting to civilian life after his tours, offering a raw, unfiltered look at the sacrifices made by those who serve. Tune in to hear Paul's powerful journey and the lessons he carries with him today. 👍 Remember to LIKE this video if you found it informative, enjoyable, or just to show your support to Paul and/or us at Urban Valor. 🗣️ Comment your support or ask any questions.
