U.S. Marine Corps veteran Zach Stinson nearly died while deployed in Afghanistan in 2010. The patriot tells Fox News Digital how his faith, family and support from the Semper Fi & America's Fund kept him alive.
Stinson, who enlisted in the Marine Corps at 18 years old, was transferred to North Carolina’s Camp Lejeune before being deployed with Marine command Fox 2-9 in July 2010 as a squad leader. "I wouldn’t say I do a whole lot of things right, but I definitely got my wife right." "Now I’d say we’re thriving." "There’s no how-to book on getting blown up." "You’re never alone. There’s always somebody there to lean on … no matter what you’ve been through." Angelica Stabile is a lifestyle writer for Fox News Digital.
On Nov. 9, 2010, Stinson led a battle damage assessment in a small village.
