"IF NOT ME, THEN WHO?"

In this powerful and deeply inspiring episode of GOLD SHIELDS, we welcome Ryan Manion, CEO of the Travis Manion Foundation and sister of 1st Lieutenant Marine Travis Manion, the American Hero who made the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq in 2007. Ryan shares an emotional, uplifting, and profoundly patriotic conversation about her brotherโ€™s extraordinary life, his commitment to service, and the remarkable legacy of leadership he left behind.

1st Lt. Travis Manion, USMC, was known for his unwavering bravery, strong moral character, and fierce devotion to his fellow Marines. While serving in Al Anbar Province, Iraq, Travis displayed overwhelming patriotism and heroism when he selflessly led his Marines toward enemy fire, placing himself in harmโ€™s way to protect his team. His courageous actions saved the lives of his brothers-in-arms and solidified him as a symbol of American valor and sacrifice.
