🎙️ On this episode of ToosDay Crüe, we sit down with Purple Heart recipient, Iraq War veteran, and author Jason Rumbaugh for a powerful conversation about combat, survival, trauma, resilience, and the journey that inspired his memoir, Waves of Shrapnel: A Soldier's Journey.

Born and raised in Port Angeles, Washington, and now living in Central Wisconsin, Jason shares an unfiltered look at military life, his experiences during the Iraq War, the realities veterans face after returning home, and how humor helped him navigate some of life's darkest moments.

As a husband, father, UWSP graduate, and proud cat dad to four rescue cats, Jason brings a unique perspective on healing, family, purpose, and finding meaning after war.

This is a raw, honest, and often surprisingly funny conversation that explores the human side of military service and the lasting impact of combat.
