...Aaron Lee Marshall
Aaron Lee Marshall, born and raised in the western mountains of Maine. After dropping out of Plymouth State University where he was majoring in Philosophy, he joined the U.S. Army and served a tour in Iraq in '04 and '05 as a Military Police Officer attached to the 1st Infantry Division. During the war he received the Purple Heart for wounds received during combat and an ARCOM with Valor for, " Exceptionally Meritorious Achievement during ground combat operations in Ba'qubah, Iraq on 9 April 2004. PFC Marshall's intrepid actions while under heavy RPG and small arms fire was remarkable. Returning to his fighting position three times after having been thrown clear by the concussion of near direct RPG hits and eliminating the enemy insurgents with his M249 SAW and AT4 were truly courageous acts that reflect his warrior ethos." Returning home after Iraq his life fell apart while dealing with PTSD and other injuries from war. His wife divorced him, he lost his job and had to deal with not being able to see his daughter on a daily basis, which was and still is the hardest to deal with. He still deals daily with the demons that follow him from his time in Iraq, but through the musical project that turned into a full length album, he has been able to somewhat move on with hope and share his stories with other Veterans who are in need of care. He is now pursuing an Business Administration Degree from Southern New Hampshire University.
