This week’s Urban Valor episode features Army veteran, Fernando Arroyo.  Fernando grew up in Bell Gardens, CA where he witnessed gang violence from a young age.  Since a kid, he’d been interested in joining the military, but the 9/11 attack on America solidified it. Fernando enlisted into the Army on a paratrooper contract. He’s conducted multiple combat deployments and speaks on the difficulty of transition after his experience in the military.  Fernando has also written a book called “The Shadow of Death” detailing his experience in Fallujah and battling for his soul upon transitioning. Fernando Arroyo is a combat veteran and hero who&apos;s sharing his story to help other combat veterans and we greatly support him here at Urban Valor.
