- Urban Valor brings us Marine Corps combat veteran Shane McCoy. Shane served in the infantry for approximately 10 years. He walks us through having to eliminate a threat amid family in combat and facing a Deja vu scenario as a law enforcement officer. Shane describes the life-threatening decision as being easy, however, the aftermath not so much.
Lastly, Shane explains why having a new mission is important to keep a healthy mental state of mind amongst managing PTSD.
Man I feel for this guy, strong dude
You can really tell how that event affected him as it would almost anyone stay strong brother thanks for serving and Go Huskers
🙏
Damn, that look in brother's eyes in the opening shot. A thousand yard stare, with a weariness and sadness beyond what you see in most young men's eyes.
You did what you had to do. I greeted my brother when he came home after his first fbi shooting. Bank robber, rolled out of his vehicle with a pistol after crashing. I said “ this means nothing from me, but if it was you, or him, you had no choice”. God bless.
Thank you Shane for walking that valley of despair. I pray your new mission transforms your life.
I just found this channel a couple weeks ago but quickly becoming on of my favorites
I’m listening so much that I’m starting to think I’m a veteran 🤦🏻♂️
Thank you for continuing to fight the good fight, it seems you have solid help at home. My local VA pushed a shit ton of garbage medication on me... I was a walking fucking zombie but I got my life back after seeking help privately. Thank you for your advice warrior! Semper Fi Sgt!!
Happy to hear you found better help, Chris. Semper Fi brother ! 🇺🇸🪖
Thank you for your service Shane!
Thanks for watching!
What a great guy. Thank you for your stories!!
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your story. Your courage under the heavy fire life throws at all of us is inspiring. Semper Fi Marine!
I will pray for this man that he finds peace in life knowing he had to take it away from others.
Same path I had taken. I enlisted at 19 in 1979. Wespac cruise, stayed in the reserves and got out to become a cop in SoCal. Recalled during Desert Storm. A world of difference deploying as a family man compared to my enlistment from HS. Having a family was difficult. Retired now and worked only 2 jobs in my life. I miss being young, almost 64.
I can see the suffering in this man’s eyes. I hope you will get even better in the future. 👌🏾
Thank you for your words 🙏🏼
These videos help me out a lot. The stories are painful but at the same time inspiring. Gives me a little kick in the ass to say hey, look what these guys have endured and they're still "in the fight". I don't mean combat, I mean dealing with civilian life with trauma, mental health issues and sometimes susbstance abuse problems. I never served but I was a cop and now I'm still trying to figure out life after being a cop.
I didnt have near the experience Shane had but I still have/had some of the same feelings after getting out of the corps. Lost, no mission, no family, and just not sure on how to tackle it all myself.. so suppress and carry on was the strategy.. it doesn’t work forever though. Anyways.. I really just wanted to say thank you Shane for sharing your stories and your msg at the end hit home. God bless you
Thank you for your service and thank you for sharing your story. I feel your pain and anguish.
🙏 🇺🇸
Another incredible interview! WOW! Thank you so much Shane for all you've done! 💯🇺🇸
Thanks so much for watching, and agreed- the incredible stories we hear are incredible!
Good....glad to see Shane turn this around.
I'll also say in my life I phrased it as attachment. Attachment of who I was and didn't want to let go of that because of the fear of the unknown in moving forward without it. The known is easy but becomes stagnant. It's best to reassess and to let go of the un-needed and move on.
Urban Valor you're doing a good thing here....thank you.
Thank you Joe for your service, you are a truely a strong man, i can relate to your military experience
What specific threat do you believe Iraqis posed to American security or freedom which would warrant our unprovoked war/occupation on their country?
I’m addicted to this channel! Keep the stories coming!!
thank you for the amazing story and thank you for your service sir!
Thank you for watching, Isaac 🙏🇺🇸
I think men like this can understand the gospel a lot better than most. He seems like a strong guy, i wish him all the forgiveness he wants to find for himself
My life partner son joined USMC at 17.After training,off to Iraq.Went over on USS Boxer.3/4 special-ops.After tour,separated.Went off to Afghanistan, security contractor.After that,he and "brother" who was Army sniper arrived in Ukraine,where they are now.He will be coming home for indeterminate time, then back to Ukraine.
Semper Fi and Free the Oppressed!!!
Considering there’s no such thing as 3/4 “special ops” I’d say great story.
@@Dubbletap187 Hmmmmm.....
@@Dubbletap187 😂
@@Dubbletap187 if they're a civilian, they're probably repeating the Special Operations Capable designation that they hear of -- especially from a Boot who thinks it's different than my era. I was India 3/4.
Semper Fi brother!! Thank you for your story!

Try and get jocko willink on here... I like this channel, big thanks to all the men and women soldiers who fought for our freedom, and blessings to the one we lost 🙏 💙
That’d be incredible. Thanks so much 🙏
Not spending time in prayer and not reading the Bible is like not using your weapons in combat.
3-5 chptrs of scriptures and an hr of prayer a day will change your life.
Thank You for your service sir!
Thanks so much family
Why is the audio all on the left except the intro music?
Awesome job Shane!
🇺🇸
Shane was sympathetic to the armed terrorist he killed in front of the terrorist’s family. But the terrorist would have had no problem killing Shane or any other Marine while the terrorist’s family watched.
Deeply grateful for you and to you.
Saved your brothers, No Doubt your buddies kids have a dad
I dont like our veterans, I fucking LOVE them. I feel for this man and everything hes going through just recounting this story. I would do anyhting to help veterans and always will. I will always fight against the politicians who put our men in these situations in whatever way I can.
God bless you brother! Semper fi
Semper Fi!🇺🇸
You murdered no person. Hold your head high, knowing you did the right thing. If a person goes to battle, a simple choice awaits.
G.I. Joe was the business!
Thank you
We're so thankful he sat down with us and shared!
Semper Fi!
Let’s go !!!!
Shane's story is Incredible!
Love this guy! The Lord can give us a peace w/o understanding. The Holy Spirit is the comforter, the healer and the teacher...
Jesus is King! He is the Prince of Peace!
I like reading about King David and his mighty men. They battled it out hand to hand and saw and did many of the same things. I see King David handling his battles though the help and the guidance of the Lord.
The bible says to pray continually. To pray non stop. Their is healing and strength in that.
Draw near to the Lord and He'll draw near to you. He weighs the thoughts and intentions of the heart. We do not fool Him.
He loves us. The Father loves you. Jesus loves you. The Holy Spirit loves you. Satan hates you. But He who is in you is greater then he who is in the world. They're more with us, then with them.
Christains are the head and not the tail. We are above and not below. The joy of the Lord is our strength.
Continually call on Him, He'll come, He'll heal you. He'll strengthen you. He'll give you peace and joy. He'll give you sweet sleep.
This is a fallen world. This is a sick world. We just react in it. React to survive. Reacting while serving. Those were good shoots. It really was just business. It was his day to die. It was not your fault. He chose to do what he did or was doing.
My day to die will come. Lord have mercy on us all.
I don't deserve heaven. I deserve hell. But Jesus saved me. The church lady from snl says, "well, isn't that special." I say your dam right it is! Now be gone from me you ol' slew foot bitch.
Semper Fi Brother and keep pushing.
Semper Fi from a fellow grunt.
Semper Fi Shane.
lots of love from
kenya
Much appreciation!
I joined in 1969 and I thought the same thing.
Thank you 🙏
"least we forgot"
Born to be a warrior
Yes he truly was! Thanks so much for your support David! We appreciate you!
You're not supposed to kill and your not supposed to covet and you're not supposed to lie. No sin is greater than another. If I tell a lie that is not better than killing someone both sins are equal in God's eyes. The fact that you have remorse you have feeling you hate what happened, God forgives you. It's something you will have to live with for the rest of your life but just know God loves you from what I can see of your heart and God can see all of your heart he forgives you and he loves you and he loves that guy you had to kill. The way you feel about that killing is how everyone should feel for any sin they commit like I said no sin is greater than another we're all going to sinits what's inside your heart that matters. I'm sorry you have this to live with just know God does love you and I love you and thank you for all your sacrifices for this country!!!
Well said 🙏🙏
Maybe I’m slow, yet how were they preparing for deployment before 9/11?
It was a peacetime deployment they were training for.
Wish the audio was better
My man lookin like Tobey Maguire
👍
I have so much respect and empathy for you brother
You are loved 💙😎
God bless you. Thank you.❤
I thought I was watching a Sean Astin interview at first 😂😂😂 he looks just like him
lets try to stop sacrificing our young men on the "altar of freedom" that that evil men keep telling us is necessary
thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!🤙🏼
