Purple Heart Veteran Fighting for His Rights | Jeremy Jackson’s Story of War, Injury & Justice
A Veteran’s Fight for Family & Due Process
What happens when a soldier survives combat overseas only to face a different battle at home?
In this powerful episode of The MisFitNation Show, host Rich LaMonica sits down with Purple Heart combat veteran Jeremy Kevin Jackson.
Jeremy served in the United States Army and was severely wounded in Iraq on August 13, 2005, when a 7.62mm sniper round struck his left arm, causing permanent nerve damage and paralysis. The injury ultimately led to his medical retirement from the Army.
Despite living with these disabilities, Jeremy focused on rebuilding his life and raising his two sons. But according to Jeremy, his life took a dramatic turn when legal actions and allegations led to criminal charges and the removal of his children from his custody. Those charges were later dismissed, yet Jeremy says the legal battle continued.
Jeremy is currently the plaintiff in an active federal civil rights lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania (Case No. 2:25-cv-00420). His lawsuit alleges constitutional violations, due process concerns, malicious prosecution, and misconduct related to his case.
In this conversation, Jeremy shares his story, his perspective on what happened, and why he believes his experience highlights larger issues within family courts and legal systems that affect parents across the country.
