Dennis Price: Saved For a Reason - SMS #150

In this episode of Shoot Me Straight, Eddie (@eddie_gallagher) and Dave (@davidfields22) sit down with Dennis Price, a retired Marine Force Recon Scout Sniper, Ranger, and founder of Heroes for Humanity, to talk about combat, faith, transition, trauma, and turning pain into purpose.Dennis shares his journey from growing up under the poverty line in Pennsylvania to serving nearly two decades in Marine special operations, including Force Recon, Scout Sniper, multiple combat deployments, and Ranger School. But this conversation goes far beyond military achievements.After a series of life-altering events, including being pulled from a Tier One unit, the birth of his daughter with rare medical conditions, a forced transition out of the military, and facing the darkest moment of his life, Dennis reached a breaking point. What followed was a radical transformation rooted in faith, responsibility, and service.That transformation led to the founding of Heroes for Humanity, a nonprofit organization conducting precision rescue missions, humanitarian aid, disaster response, and anti-human-trafficking operations around the world, while also helping veterans rediscover purpose after service.This is a raw, unfiltered conversation about leadership under pressure, losing identity after the uniform comes off, faith in the darkest moments, veteran suicide, and why service does not end with a DD-214.Content warning: This episode includes discussion of combat, war, suicide, trauma, and veteran transition challenges.Guest linksInstagram: @heroes.4.humanityWebsite: [https://TheHeroesForHumanity.org](https://TheHeroesForHumanity.org)Follow Shoot Me StraightInstagram: @shootmestraightAvailable on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple PodcastsSponsorsElevated SilenceFirecracker FarmAqua Vitae IV
