What if the thing that almost ruined you is the same thing that makes you unstoppable now?
Logan Spiewak went from juvenile delinquent and near prison time to Marine infantryman, then crashed headfirst into the isolation so many vets face on the way out. With no plan and no clue, he almost lost himself again until a stranger at the gym changed everything. Now, Logan runs the Boots to Health Foundation, giving vets a free place to rebuild their minds and bodies, and the kind of second chance he fought so hard to find for himself.
Why the uniform was his only ticket out of a dead-end life
How brutal leadership left deeper scars than boot camp ever did
The moment he realized the gym could save him twice
How he risked it all with no experience to build a place for other vets
