Jeff Kaesler served in the US Army from 1999 to 2006. He served as a Combat Medic with the 82nd Airborne, and served in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in Iraq.
Jeff was awarded the Combat Medic badge and the Bronze Star with Valor in OEF. He received a Purple heart in OIF and suffered TBI, PTS and seizure disorder from the TBI.
After his service Wounded Warrior Project became Jeff's refuge. He participated in several soldier rides and was invited for this May's ride at the Crawford Ranch with President Bush. W100K
