Urban Valor: the podcast
Marine Haunted by the Moment His Teammate Took His Place and Died
His friend took his spot. The convoy was hit. Only one came home.
In this Urban Valor episode, Marine Veteran Travis Pinn shares a devastating Iraq War story that changed his life forever. As an 0311 Infantry Rifleman with the 1st Battalion, 7th Marines, Travis endured some of the war’s most brutal moments—multiple IED attacks, deadly ambushes, and the psychological trauma that followed him home.
But the moment that haunts him most? The day a fellow Marine took his place in a convoy... and didn’t make it back.
From surviving deadly routes in Iraq to battling PTSD and rebuilding after the war, Travis lays bare the truth of what it means to carry survivor’s guilt and live with invisible wounds.
This episode is more than just a war story—it’s an honest look at what thousands of veterans face once the shooting stops.
