- TOGETHER, WE SAVE LIVES® - To some, these may be mere words, remnants of a time when companies embraced their history and delivered on their promises. At The Safariland Group we live those values every day. We live them when we empower over two thousand people to design, engineer, research and deliver our protective equipment products to those that protect us. We live them as we continuously seek new innovations to add to the premier group of Safariland brands that have been protecting law enforcement, military and security professionals for over half a century. We live them when we help save lives. From the front lines to back home, our veterans have made tremendous sacrifices for their families, their communities and our country. But the brave and determined have become increasingly lost and forgotten. The ravages of PTSD, body mutilation due to IEDs, and nightmares resounding with echoes of the battlefield are often the private hells of our returned heroes and warriors. The home that once emboldened our veterans during their most harrowing war time experiences has too often ignored or neglected them upon their return.
Every day, an average of 22 veterans take their own life, yet this disquieting statistic is rarely noted by the media or our elected leaders. The Lionhearted project visits 22 veterans from the Army, Air Force, Marines and Navy while veteran artist, Shawn Ganther expresses their untold story through art.
A 24-minute short film, and each individual art piece featuring a veteran’s combat story provides a digital channel for all Americans to celebrate these heroes. This storytelling spotlights each warriors’ experiences of courage, combat and comradery while in Afghanistan, Iraq and other active war zones. The video features interviews conducted veteran-to-veteran, as well as footage of both combat and their present-day home and work life.
These individual art pieces depicting the personal war-time experiences of our surviving warriors will be created in the colors, Red, White and Blue. The final artwork creates a 6-foot long, 350-pound mosaic of the American flag. This tribute to veterans’ stories will live forever enshrined at the National Veterans Art Museum so that their loyal self-sacrifice may become, and remain, a source of our national pride.

OG medic, looses pulse, revives and keeps doing his job no concerns.
Like right?! like Hory shet! Mind blown man
Corpsman are a different breed.
Damn Mojo, didn't even know all of this, just how awesome of a shooter you are..now I know how awesome of a human being you are..plucking heart strings man!
Reads name: hmm hes prolly filipino
Mentions his dad was in the Navy: yup he's filipino
its pronounced PILLIPINO
@@Th3Mavr1ck hahaha I actually heard that in the accent you made it sound
thanks for sharing mojo, much respect. stay strong brother
It's nice to see someone who actually shows his emotions, ya know?
Yes it is - it shows he's still got his head on straight
Yeah it’s nice and sad at the same time, you know it hurts when it brings a man like that to tears but it’s nice to see a man working through it.
yeah, not addressing your emotions, or ignoring them is fucking us up. dudes have to address their emotions vs just fucking using aggression to mask them. it's holding us back from being the best version of ourselves.
A lot of that is the head injury he sustained. It's something that you can not control, and it can be triggered by anything.
Hopefully some day the doctor's will figure it out.
Semper FI Mojo!
Take care my brother,
Be safe.
A big deal that people never seem to talk about is the fact that despite Mojo was crying, messed up from an explosion, first time he saw his friends get messed up, he just kept doing his job, and so did all the dudes around him. Genuine courage.
Really inspiring.
Semper, I was 2/6 Echo Co. Raiders. "DOC" in Helmand province, Afghanistan Marjah and Trek Nawa 2011-2012. These are like therapy in a way, Thank you for this. And, FUCK whoever gave this a thumbs down.
You are the best of what being an American is....... Thank you for your sacrifice! God bless you. Peace be with you!
Survival guilt, it just shows us that he is a good person, everyone that meet this dude, better threat him well, good people are hard to find now days.
ole MOJO. Best RO we ever had. It was the best of times and the worst of times. I remember that day so clearly (June 22 2014)
Mojo, is the man.
Mojo you’re the man can’t wait to come to one of your classes🇺🇸
This guy is a real bad ass much respect for him
I can't express enough how important it is to talk about trauma. mental wounds will fuck your shit more than any physical wound ever will. they will hurt spread to your loved ones in other ways, and angry unstable father means unstable angry kids, an angry husband means a wife who walks on eggshells all day long.
you're literally psyop'ing yourself and your loved ones when you don't.
i'm so glad he sought help, and he's a much better person for it.
Semper Fi Mr. Majillo. You have a team of brothers out there for life.
Bro is the same age as me and same birthday as well and we also served in the corps the at the same time wow, I’m still in though...they got me
To think all he went through for the love of his country and his country turned its back on him is beyond me. You’re a fine citizen sir! I’m sorry you got let go from your job.
Always enjoyed his content but never knew his backstory, much respect!
Don bro I cannot say how important it is to speak this honestly about traumatic shit. I have such respect for someone who is willing to open up however they need to to explain how they got better. It’s never a sign of weakness because only the strong keep pushing through that barrier. Eventually you grow stronger than the barrier and bust through it and never turn back. Thank you for showing that to everyone who needed to see it.
Thank you for your service. I mean that. Genuinely, thank you very much.
Majillo is a straight up homeboy
I can’t believe someone would dislike the video of a men saying what happened to him in a war
Some people are just angry and take it out on anyone they can. So mojo wasn't seal team 6, doesn't make his experience any less. My story would include how I shit myself if I had one.
I feel for you Mojo... Lost 2 guys on my bday and I can't celebrate that day anymore as well. Keep your head up.
Happy Birthday Mojo!!
Thank you for sharing this with us Mojo. Many guys act tough, but don't have the balls to be so honest and vulnerable like you are.
I got a brother in the Corp, his birthday is also June 20th!
If you ever served, I’m sincerely thankful for the sacrifice you have made for me and this country!!
You the man Don!
Deep shit brother.
I had some PTSD and was an angry man.
For years, I couldn't tell me story without breaking down and walking away.
Then a wise man told me..........."Roland, you're healing will come with the telling of your tale""
I thought he was full of shit.
Years later I found myself telling my tale and made it all the way through.
Dude was right.
And I continue to do so.
Much like you are in this video.
Thank you for telling your tale.
Good shit, brother. People want to hear what you got.
I pray for you all Daily
Wow Don. You're amazing, man. I'm proud of you.

Hearing what my grandfather's went through (WW II) and what other Veterans had finally come to talk, regardless of which battle and/or War experienced; I recognized that your own internal silence can be your own worst enemy. :(
Good Health == Excellent mental health! :))
Keep your head up, bro. Men like you and your brothers make me proud to be an American. Damn few...
I always admire your training and drills, I follow you 1 year ago but I didn't know this side of your life... You are a great person dude and you live an honorable life in the name of your comrades. God bless you bro.
Amen
