“Whatever hardships you face, never give up.” ~Justine Constatine

U. S. Marine Corp (Retired) did not give up, even when his prognosis was dire. Instead, he survived being shot in the head by a sniper in Iraq  in 2006. Field medics and doctors who treated him upon his return to the United States after being wounded did not hope for the best outcome of Justin’s life.

Here is a summary of his story:  As an active duty  Marine officer, he volunteered to be deployed to Iraq in 2006 and assigned to be a Civil Affairs Team Leader to an infantry battalion. While on a routine combat patrol, Justin was shot in the head by a sniper.

Marine officer, Justin Constatine survived the attack and spends his life speaking to others about overcoming obstacles and volunteering with the Wounded Warriors Project.  His message is clear—Never give up!

CBS featured Justine in a CBS Cares commercial. His inspiring message deserves a Fantastic Friday applause.
