Aaron Hale: An Army EOD Veteran’s Journey through Blindness & Deafness | TRS 032

This week on The Resilient Show, Chad Robichaux sits down with Aaron Hale, a remarkable American hero. Aaron shares his extraordinary journey from being a Navy chef to an Army EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) tech, facing life-altering injuries, and rising above them to achieve the unimaginable. Blinded and later rendered completely deaf due to a severe injury and bacterial meningitis, Aaron's resilience and unyielding spirit shine through as he recounts his recovery, determination, and accomplishments. This episode looks into Aaron's resilience through his service, injury, adaptation to his disabilities, ventures like running marathons, and managing a successful business, 'Extraordinary Delights.' Tune in to hear a story that redefines overcoming challenges and living life to its fullest potential. Aaron Hale, a 14 year veteran of both the Navy and Army, had deployed once to Iraq and was on his second mission to Afghanistan when an IED took his eyes and ended his operational career as an EOD Team Leader. Instead of allowing himself to become a victim, he sees his injury as an example of divine direction.
