The Iron Works

Blood Brothers

Season 1 Episode 4

Welcome back to The Iron Works Podcast. On this episode we are joined by Russell Broughton and Andrew Coughlan. Andrew battled severe PTSD after his deployment to Iraq. It took him years to recover. Now he dedicates his time to his family, his work with the Wounded Warrior Project, and volunteering in his community. Russ was wounded twice in combat and also struggled with PTSD, little did he know his biggest fight was yet to come. His kidneys began to fail, his life was on the line, and he was unable to find a donor. He threw a hail Mary pass and asked for a donor on Facebook. Andrew answered the call. They hadn't spoken in years, but they had a bond, they served together. Two great people with an amazing story.
