Living for the Ones Who Can’t
Directed by AJ Miller
Description
“Living for the Ones Who Can’t” is a tribute to two fallen Rangers that lost their lives on a misson in Iraq that went tragically wrong. Narrated by Article 15’s own Mat Best and Vincent Vargas, the story focuses on the teachings and mentorship of their former team leaders, US Army Rangers SSG Ricardo Barraza and SGT Dale Brehm.
