"IF NOT ME, THEN WHO?"

In this powerful and deeply inspiring episode of GOLD SHIELDS, we welcome Ryan Manion, CEO of the Travis Manion Foundation and sister of 1st Lieutenant Marine Travis Manion, the American Hero who made the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq in 2007.

While serving in Al Anbar Province, Iraq, Travis displayed overwhelming patriotism and heroism when he selflessly led his Marines toward enemy fire, placing himself in harm’s way to protect his team. His courageous actions saved the lives of his brothers-in-arms and solidified him as a symbol of American valor and sacrifice.
