SUMMARY:Atlanta Speaker Series: Ryan Hendrickson May 6th and May 7th
DESCRIPTION:After surviving stepping on an IED that nearly claimed his life\, one Green Beret embarked on an extraordinary journey—from the battlefields of Afghanistan to humanitarian work in Ukraine\, his story is one of courage\, resilience\, and finding profound purpose in serving others\, transforming personal tragedy into a mission of hope and healing for those in need.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSergeant First Class (SFC) Ryan Hendrickson is a brave\, determined\, and courageous soldier — a Green Beret clearing the way for his twelve-man team while conducting combat operations against the Taliban. As the “tip of the spear\,” his role is to ensure the route taken by U.S. and Afghan troops are free of IEDs — improvised explosive devices. Many soldiers do not survive their last step; those who do often lose at least one limb. \n\n\n\nWhile rescuing an Afghan soldier outside a mud-hut compound in 2010 — knowing that he was in “uncleared” territory — Ryan stepped on an IED with his right foot. The device exploded\, leaving his foot dangling at the end of his leg. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAgenda for Ryan:May 6th:Dinner at Atlanta History Center 5pm-7pmAuthor Talk at Atlanta History Center 7:30pm-9:30pmMay 7th:Breakfast at Buckhead Club 7:30am-9am \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHere’s a bit more about Ryan: Ryan Hendrickson\, a retired U.S. Army Special Forces Green Beret and decorated combat veteran\, is the founder of the nonprofit Tip of the Spear Landmine Removal and author of the acclaimed memoir Tip of the Spear. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest\, Ryan was shaped by his father’s life lessons\, which instilled resilience and a drive to take chances. \n\n\n\n\nDuring his 22-year military career\, Ryan deployed to Iraq\, Afghanistan\, and various regions in Central and South America. He earned numerous distinctions\, including the Silver Star\, four Bronze Stars\, a Purple Heart\, and an Army Commendation Medal with Valor. In 2010\, while serving in Afghanistan\, Ryan stepped on an IED\, sustaining life-threatening injuries that led to 27 surgeries. Despite the grueling recovery\, he returned to Afghanistan four more times as a Green Beret and twice as a contractor\, exemplifying his ethos of service and perseverance. \n\n\n\nRyan’s combat experiences—clearing routes\, preventing casualties\, and rescuing comrades under fire—shaped his commitment to helping others. Following his retirement in 2020\, he channeled this commitment into his nonprofit\, dedicating himself to demining war-torn areas. In 2022\, Ryan began clearing landmines in Ukraine\, working alongside American and Ukrainian veterans to restore safety to agricultural fields and empower local communities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Advancing The Line - Atlanta: Red\, White and BBQ Social
DESCRIPTION:Join us to Celebrate July 4th and America!\n\n\n\n\n\nATLVets Speaker Series | July 8\, 2025Featuring Chris Brewer – Retired Ranger\, Green Beret\, and Author📍 Buckhead Club | Atlanta\, GA⏰ Doors open at 5:30 PM | Program begins at 6:00 PM \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nJoin us for a compelling evening of stories\, leadership insights\, and behind-the-scenes accounts of U.S. military history with special guest Chris Brewer\, a retired Ranger and Special Forces operator whose service spans some of the most critical and covert missions of the modern era. \n\n\n\nBrewer will be sharing lessons and reflections from his two recent books: \n\n\n\n📘 Old Scroll Ranger\n\n\n\nA first-hand look at the early days of the 1st Ranger Battalion following its reactivation in 1974\, Old Scroll Ranger is a tribute to the soldiers Brewer served with—capturing their missions\, training evolutions\, and after-hours mischief. From deployments in Panama\, Alaska\, and Germany to Brewer’s pioneering attendance at the elite Special Forces Underwater Operations Course\, this book is filled with hard-earned insights on Ranger leadership and the grit required to serve. \n\n\n\n📕 In the Shadows Between the Wars\n\n\n\nThis deeply researched and DOD-cleared memoir reveals the evolution of Special Forces during the post-Vietnam era\, exploring classified missions in Colombia\, Panama\, and beyond. Brewer offers a rare glimpse into covert diplomatic engagements\, the threat of Pablo Escobar\, and the power of deterrence through presence rather than violence. He also explores lessons from U.S. efforts to stabilize Panama post-invasion and calls attention to the critical—but often fragile—relationship between the State Department and military on the ground. \n\n\n\nWhether you’re a military veteran\, a national security professional\, or someone who appreciates leadership forged in complexity\, this is a rare opportunity to hear directly from someone who lived and led through it all. \n\n\n\nSpecial thanks to our partners and community members who make this speaker series possible.
