Veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan Bring Their Leadership Skills Home

Brian Stann
Now a mixed-martial-arts champion, Stann received a Silver Star for his heroism when his unit was isolated in Iraq and he spent nearly a week fending off repeated enemy attacks. Currently the sixth-ranked middleweight in mixed martial arts, he also devotes his time to Hire Heroes, an employment program for returning vets facing a tough job market.
