Wounded in Iraq, Navy SEAL Eric Greitens returns home to find that his fellow veterans all want the same thing: to continue to serve their country. He founded The Mission Continues to provide paid public service fellowships for wounded veterans. Under this umbrella organization, former Marine sergeant Jake Wood began Team Rubicon, organizing post-9/11 veterans for dangerous disaster relief projects around the world.
