In Episode 20 of Go Getters & Go Givers, John Ed Mathison sits down with Major Lee Stuckey, a combat veteran who served three deployments in Iraq and was wounded in battle. After returning home and facing deep personal struggles, a life-or-death moment in 2009 became a turning point that reshaped Lee’s purpose and mission.
Lee shares how that experience led him to found America’s Heroes Enjoying Recreation Outdoors (AHERO), a nonprofit dedicated to helping veterans and first responders heal and rediscover meaning in their lives. Through outdoor recreation, community, and faith, AHERO has supported thousands and helped save hundreds from suicide. This episode is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest moments, hope, purpose, and a life worth living can be restored.
