Reunited at last! Special guest Ryan Hendrickson joined us this week on the Blk & Blu podcast to share his story, and how Kyle played a role in it. They discuss meeting for the first time, the events of September 12th, and the time after.

To kick things off, Ryan recounts his days dealing with recruitment, and how he was in just about every branch of the military. He shares insight from his father, who gave him the advice he needed, speaking from experience.

Next up, the guys discuss how they met, what was going on at the time, and what a "regular day" looked like. They unpack the events of September 12th, reflecting on their time deployed and Ryan's recovery journey afterwards.

To wrap, Ryan discusses his road back to Afghanistan, the new pet he acquired, and the guys wrap up with gifts for one another. Let's get into it.
