Mission43’s Brian and Dan were lucky to sit down with Josh Sweeney, a truly inspirational role model. While serving as a Marine Scout Sniper in Southern Afghanistan in October of 2009, Josh lost both of his legs and function of his right arm to an IED blast, but that didn’t slow him down. By 2011 he made the US National Paralympic Sled Hockey Team, and subsequently won a series of world and Olympic Championships. Never satisfied and never complacent, Josh has now set his sights on conquering a new field of Paralympic competition, specifically triathlon.
Josh exemplifies what it means to be a veteran, and not a victim. If you’re in need of a motivational kick in the pants, listen in and check Josh out!
